So, I had Joey signed up as a car rider, and he told me 2 days before school started that he didn't want anyone picking him up, that he wanted to be a bus rider! I had to change all the paperwork to let him ride. I got to be there today for the first ride and he looked WAY too little to be riding a bus!

Well, Joey had his first day at preschool. This was taken at 7 am this morning right before we left for school. He was so excited! When we got him there, I asked him if he wanted us to leave and he shook his head yes, of course, he never even looked back at Joe or I. No...I didn't cry! Came close though.....

Hello everyone. Your Dad will be in Oklahoma for 11 days starting Thursday. YEAH!!! We are having a reunion (kind of) this Saturday. My step-son and my nephew and his wife are coming for lasagna and Kansas Dirt Cake. The boys grew up together and it will be fun to see them both all grown up.

Don't expect very much from us. Our life is pretty boring. I do like the website. You did a great job Tiffany.

Hey everybody! Once again, Tiffany is the most industrious of us and created a new site. Maybe this time she won't erase everyone else's photos! :)

This is a picture of Toufik and I in DC, one of about 1500 we took. I'll try to post some other photos from the wedding and the trip. Love you all! -Ali

Just a couple pictures

Hey guys, here are a couple pictures of the kids. The one with Elizabeth and Nathan was on the way back to Charlotte after Ali's wedding. The one with the kids in matching shirts was for the Fourth of July. We let the kids paint their own shirts. That was fun (for the kids at least!).

Eight more weeks until my due date. Yikes! Five kids ages five and under! Love you guys.

Let's get started!

So everyone, I want to be able to see all the family, and I want to know what is going on in your lives. We all have digital cameras now, and except for Heather we all have internet. Let's start sharing. This blog is much easier to use than the old website, and it's free. All you have to do is load some pictures and type your text. Super simple. It takes maybe a quarter of the time to load pictures as the old one, so no excuses! We all have 15 minutes once a week or even every other week to log on and say hello, so get to it. Heather, even if you can't load pictures right now you can still check them out at the library on the internet. Actually, when we lived in Texas you could upload pictures onto the web at the library if you had a USB drive. Let me know if you have one.
