How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were? ~Satchel Paige

2months old today... how did that happen? It was a tough day at our house because Tilly had her doctor's visit and 2 month shots. Not a pleasant thing to partake in. Daddy did promise Tilly an extra special present if she remained calm and didn't make her momma cry. Any guesses?

A PONY!!!

I don't think he meant this kind either....

FooooooooooD!

Mike had been watching the Food Network, a popular choice in our home, and he captured Tilly in a food coma. Almost two months old, rocking the faux hawk and practically drooling on the floor. Love you Tilly Girl!

Happy One Year Anniversary to my beautiful cousin and her husband! Their wedding was so much fun last year. The ceremony was beautiful, I couldn't help but be teary-eyed. Anthony sang to her and had the whole church in awe. Their reception was at the coolest venue. So much history and character. They should get married every year!!! Love you guys!

Happy Happy Birthday to my man!

Happy Birthday to Michael! We don't have big plans for today and considering the weather isn't too hot I think we'll save a "fun" day for another time. Going to dinner tonight while Grandma Carol stays with Tilly. We know she'll be in good hands and it's good to get out and celebrate too!

Just about 8 weeks old. Where does the time go? No, seriously... where has the last 8 weeks of my life gone? Our baby girl isn't allowed to be 8 weeks old already!

It's time to start posting again and sharing our little girl's life with friends and family. I won't make any promises about posting on a regular basis, but I'll do my best. Enjoy :)

Hi Papa!

Happy Halloween from Jolee Lynn

2008-11-05T21:53:00.004-06:00

Jolee went as a duck for Halloween this year. She was very cute and would even say "Happy Halloween" and "Trick or Treat" when asking for candy. She was shy around some people, but overall she had a super fun day. We visited grandma Hutchinson at her work, she had to show her off to all her staff and coworkers. Then we visited Great Grandpa and Grandma Snelling, it was their 66th wedding anniversary! Congrats to them. Then we headed to New York Mills to visit the office where I work, share a Halloween treat, and to take some pictures. She had a good time seeing everyone in their costumes and liked handing out the candy. She slept on the drive home which was good, she needed it. Before I took her home, we stopped at my friend's house in Detroit Lakes. She has a 3 year old daughter who was going as a ghost - she looked SOOOO cute! Great day overall, wish she had more time to spend together, but for now, I'll enjoy her when I can. Happy Halloween!

It's her birthday

Jolee Lynn turned 2 on October 11th, 2008. Where in the world has the time gone? It's amazing to me when I really think about it. Jolee is learning new things everyday, I just wish I had more time to spend with her so I could experience all of it. We celebrated her birthday at her house. Kari and my mom made food and did some decorating. Jolee wore the prettiest purple dress and her hair was done up nicely. She looked like a big girl! It's really great having her back in Minnesota, it was a tough couple of months when they were gone. Just under 6 months... which is about what we predicted. :)

Happy Birthday beautiful Jolee!

Fun Quiz to take

Which Office Character Are You?
	You are part Jim. You are personable, easy-going, and always socially aware. Your great sense of humor and impishness soften the blow of what might otherwise be a dark, cutting cynicism.
	You are part Pam. You are sweet and likable, but your shyness makes it hard for you to express yourself sometimes. Regardless, you are always there for your friends and will usually come out of your shell to help anyone.

I took the advice of my cousin Julie and did a little 39 question survey, which was fun! Number 1 is a total joke, some of these make no sense to me at all. I don't believe I am cut out for education. My mother would be very interested to learn this. Currently I am number 19 and enjoy what I do. 3 and 4...are you kidding me? I barely know any Spanish much less any other language. 6 - heck no! 15, I have actually taught a few people to drive and really enjoyed doing it. I couldn't see myself doing this full time though...boring!

Thanks for the fun suggestion Julie!

I inherited this couch from my Grandma Christine and I am thrilled to own it. It's not the most beautiful thing in the world but it has special memories for me.

It's beautiful to me.

Flickr

2007-08-07T22:01:00.000-05:00

So about a year ago I set up a Flickr account so I was able to share photos with family and friends. After realizing that I uploaded a ton of pictures each month I decided I needed to upgrade to the PRO account. Everything had been going great until one day it automatically signed me out and asked me to sign back in. When I did so I was instructed to merge it with my Yahoo email address. When I did this it wouldn't let me log in anymore.

I am wondering if anyone out there can assist me in getting in touch with Flickr. I have emailed there Customer Service department more than 6 times and still have not been able to resolve the issue. I have asked them for a telephone number and at this point they are not providing it. Has anyone else ever had trouble using a Flickr account? Have you had to contact their Customer Service Department?

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated. It's been weeks since I have been able to sign on or do anything with my account and I am just plain frustrated at this point.
