Maddie Goes to Camp


My baby bird has left the nest, for camp that is. I am completely rethinking sending her for two weeks. I know shes fine, I am not so sure about me and the puppy. He has been acting up today.
We drove the 5 and 1/2 hours to camp on Sunday. We had gotten her settled in and then we were saying our goodbyes. Blinking away a few tears she did not want to fall she skipped to her bunk. Mike and I were hiding outside the door and I caught this photo of her checking out her name tag on the bed.
I had made her a scrapbook and hid it in her trunk. I had so much fun making it.
It reminded me why I love this hobby in the first place.

a very patriotic yorkie


A puppy is similar to a toddler, they are into everything, there is no telling what you'll find in their mouths, and generally run you ragged... until they do something so cute you will forgive any naughty behavior.

Scampers is having a bad hair day. Tomorrow is bath day though, so I'll give him an extra special top knot.
We take Maddie to camp on Sunday. She is going for 2 weeks this year! The only sign of nervousness I've seen from her is when you mention the dog. She will miss him soooo bad! I on the other hand, am a wreck. This is such a tangible venturing out of the nest. I am so grateful that she has these opportunities.(mostly thanks to her Mimi) She may even miss her brother a little bit.

Rock on Girlfriend!


Note to husband
You need to take these shoes out, I mean take me out.
Why did I buy these? Not too practical for cleaning. I feel so "schelpy" in my momwear and the mini van, I just have to embrace that rocker chick that lives inside.
I have had a little more incentive to rock with the new White Stripes, Led Zeppelinesque single, Icky Thump.
Happy Tuesday Bitches! (and that means you Ridgley! BTW... whose white shoes rock harder????)
If you like this check out their cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene". It just makes me want to drink draft beer, scream the lyrics and hold a lighter high in air.

Greg Patillo biggest fans

The family is inamored with the talent of Greg Patillo, a beat boxing flutist.
This rendition of Inspector Gadget is my favorite but his version of The Super Mario Bros Theme is a must see Never have band geeks looked so cool.
