Black and White Wednesday - Maddy and Her Guys!

Maddy has such a deep love for everyone in our family -- especially for her Dad and her brothers! Aren't they all so cute!

Cboo moved into an apt a couple months ago and is really busy, so we haven't seen too much of him and she misses him so much. She misses Philip too, but is more used to him being gone since he lives about an hour away. Maddy is scheming to set up a blind date between Connor and Taylor Swift -- hoping that someday, Taylor would become her sister! Wouldn't that be sweet!! So, if anyone knows Taylor and would like to assist in setting those two up, please advise.

Here's the photo above in color!

Love Maddy's red dress and the red tie on Mr. Tennis!

How time flies! This photo of Mr. Tennis and Maddy was taken when we went out to lunch after her Nebraska adoption hearing in November, 2003! Those two are so adorable!

09/09/09

Since the date today for the month, day and year all consist of my favorite number - 9 -- I figured I should do a quick post.

I know, you're all waiting to see what I come up with now, aren't you? ;) Of course, I have a couple things to chat about -- when don't I like to ramble on and on?

First - Cboo's birthday. Yesterday was my #2 son's (Connor) 22nd birthday!! Holy moly -- how did he get to be so old?

Bonus, he came home for the Labor Day weekend reportedly to celebrate his b-day with family, but he did spend some time with friends and there may have been some partying going on. I'm just saying -- he arrived on Friday evening and we didn't actually see him until Sunday around noon! :) We had a fun time catching up, going out to eat with him and Philip and Catherine for dinner (no, I did not want to cook) and giving him his b-day gifts. He left already on Monday to return to Illinois -- miss him already!

Maddy bought no less than 3 birthday cards for him and
a Webkinz that he had been eyeing (yeah, right).

Bad Mom -- I didn't even make him a cake, but he specifically requested a cookie cake with lots of frosting. Doesn't it look delish -- it was so yummy!

Second - white pants. Do you wear them after Labor Day or do you ever wear them? Ok, I admit I committed a bit of a fashion faux pas last night (only1 day after Labor Day) when I wore white capri pants to the school open house. But, it was pretty warm out and jeans would have been way too hot! My sister from Florida was actually surprised at the number of Nebraskans wearing white shorts/capris when she visited in the summer. I think her comment was something like -- "wow, don't they care how big their butts look in white?"

Um no, of course I don't!
