SNOW....NO SNOW....MORE SNOW

Well, here you have it....within the course of three days we had snow....then it warmed up and the snowman melted almost to nothing...and then it snowed again....and it is still snowing....

Today Mark Andrew Kreuz would have celebrated his 60th birthday....

Where Does the Time Go?

Thanksgiving here and gone....snow came and is still here....and now it is almost Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and still there are gifts to get and cards to mail....maybe in 2010 the postings will be more up-to-date....

Here's Paddy helping Grandpa put up the outside Christmas lights...the boots: Fireman Boots!

TIME FLIES AND TURKEY DAY IS ALMOST HERE!!

Hmm, posting daily is not as easy as I thought. The only pictures I've been taking are for work - kids in uniform sitting primly at their desks...ha ha! This one's from the 3rd Grade Thanksgiving Feast - don't worry they had more to eat then raw pumpkins, straw, and Indian corn.

On Friday night we were at the Haggis - Kristin's Aunt Shelly was named Clanswoman of the Year - lots of bag-piping. And we were celebrating Pat Foy's many job offers - the most recent being at Northwestern....yeah Pat!

THE ZOO

Audrey in the Dolphin stroller at Brookfield Zoo because Grandma and Grandpa neglected to take the umbroller stroller that we have hanging in our garage...ok, so she doesn't look too thrilled but she had a choice...walking (which seemed a bad choice since she's not yet age 3 and the Zoo is BIG), a wagon, or the Dolphin stroller....words of wisdom here: Think and think again before leaving the house with a toddler - do you have EVERYTHING you need????

MARK ANDREW KREUZ

I was thinking this morning of all the family events - births, baptisms, weddings, parties, Halloweens, Thanksgivings, Christmas Eve's and deaths that have happened since Mark's death eleven years ago today. Eleven years ago he had no grandchildren - now there are two grandsons - Elliot and William; eleven years ago he had no great nieces or nephews - now there are two great nieces and four great nephews - eleven years ago there was only one wedding of his siblings' children that he attended - four more were to follow; eleven years ago his son Markie was a little boy not yet 6 - he will soon be 17 years old this month, and eleven years ago Grandpa Frank and Grandpa Jim were still with us. November - the month of All Saints and All Souls - all rest in peace.

THE WRONG BLOG

Please check the Whole Puzzle blog for what should have been posted on the Aunt Sue Blog...too many blogs too much confusion....words of wisdom: Multitasking and being old often times do not mix well to produce great results.

HOW CUTE IS THIS LITTLE GUY...!!!!!

Right now it is raining like crazy...it's 11:12PM and I'm scheduled to fly to St.Paul tomorrow AM to watch Paddy and Declan while Katie and Pat go to the ND/BC game in South Bend...I'm pretty sure I'll have more fun...
