"...every ski lift in the world!"

A few pictures from a fun day of skiing with Bryan & Todd...only we missed Will & Reid.

New Poster

Don't know how I did it but I now have a bonafide gmail account and can use the new blogger stuff. If I can do it, so can YOU!! Love you - OM

The Musician and His Bus Driver

Call it a planning meeting. Call it a meeting of the minds. Whatever. As someone once said: "I have a dream."

Bet Everyone's as Excited as We Are!!

Here are the rest of the shots at the 'announcement' party. You can clearly see the pink cake and the happiness/shock on the paternal greatgrandparents' faces: F. E. and Louise (Hendrix). Olice didn't care if the cake was pink or blue, by the way!

The youngest of the Baker clan revealed

On Tuesday the Fisher Family found out they are going to have a girl this Summer! Hurrah. The expected date of delivery, and by that I mean we have scheduled it, is June 11th! Here are some of her first glamour shots. Her face, her profile, and (sorry, Baby Girl) the female parts.

Wishing for his own Blogspot!

Jim wanted me to tell everyone that he just doesn't get enough coverage and would like to set out on his own. Until he figures it out, though he said I could post these pictures of him with the mini stocking that I made him. (Little does he know that Danielle might confiscate it for one of her and Will's future kids.) No, they don't have baby news to tell - just Erika and Nancy right now!! And that's enough for this Oma to keep up with!! Love you

Focusing on Grandbaby #6

Last night the Baker's (5 of us and Jim Harget) and the Fisher's (9 of them) got together to eat some delicious cake to announce the sex of Olice's upcoming sibling.


Naturally O was excited but not as much as all of these other relatives (and his parents). Anyway, he still thinks we came over to watch HIM doing all his new moves like walking..

Since I've been forbidden to blog pictures of the inside of the cake, let me at least show you the top which was written in purple letters (because that color's a mix of blue and red.)

Hopefully Nancy will transfer, find and post other pictures some time today. Until then, if you can't stand the wait, give me a call - I've not been forbidden to TELL anyone

Love, one very excited Oma

Some recent shots

Yes, I'm aware that Jack Greer is practically a "mini-Todd"



And yes, I'm aware that there appears to be little to no resemblance to me. However, he does have a really skinny chicken-butt and skinny legs. . .




Jack Greer and his Grandad! He so enjoyed having his Mimi, Grandad, Aunt Parker and Cousin Erin here.

Our boy is Walking!

Well, you might notice at first that Olice's bear is getting treated a little better than Yellow Bear has in the past few days. Although now Yellow Bear is probably cleaner. The picture of Olice on the hearth shows his "spot". He loves to sit on this hearth. I think it's just the right heighth.






Olice learned to walk last week. All of him and Reid's vigorous training sessions finally paid off. We are so proud. We even got him to walk in his cowboy boots which was extremely entertaining. The heel on the back made it look like he was three sheets to the wind. He already looks so much older now that he is walking.

The week of the unwanted visitor (we all lost some weight)

The beverage of choice at the infirmary...


Even Yellow Bear, though not sick himself, was a victim of the illness this morning as G lost it on him. He needed a bath anyway.

E and B were over it yesterday, but this morning when I went in to get G he said, "Look mommy, I puked on my bed." I said, "Honey, you need to tell me when you do this." To which he replied, "I just told Yellow Bear about it." 

Oh yeah, so you thought Nancy was a model

Mmmm. I love ducky.

Last summer, after over seven years, we went back to the site of our wedding for the first time since May 8, 1999. It was really neat to see the place with so many fond memories of that day spent with our closest friends and family.

Get 'em

Last August we got Thomas to chase this little beagle in Nancy and Reid's front yard. The dog lives across the street from them and it was so much fun watchin Tom-boy try to catch it. As you can see in the picture, he's a great runner. AND what you can't see is that he is running barefoot on stubble August grass filled with ants.

content overload? Naaa! It's just a blog war!

Ski Weekend... slash... Lake Weekend, January 2007. So the weekend that was supposed to be in Banner Elk, NC got relocated to Lake Murray, SC due to some really crazy and hilarious adventures Thursday night/early Friday morning... unfortunately i was not involved in the first leg of the trek across the Carolinas, but these are a few pictures of the crew at Phase 2 of "Ski Weekend" (at the lake).

I am purposefully not posting the most flattering of photos, just so we can get greater laughs out of this. -Shin
