Jul. 15, 2008 - Give it another try

Ok, so the ohter day, i wrote out this nice long post with all kinds of pictures...and information...and teh internet crashed right as i was posting it.  You think it posted. of course not,...there was no fruit for my labor.  i am jsut now getting over that loss and taking a chance to do it again. 

so, we had a nice 4th of july.  Our town has a really great parade - so great it is said that the city becomes the capitol of indiana for a day.  there were 2 really realy cool, great fun, whatever you want to call it...things abou tour parade this year.  well, maybe 3.  1, the weather was phenominally fantastic!  2, the flyover (ok, a military guy flies his military jet over our parade rout to begin the parade) was THE MOST AWESOME flyover EVER!!!  He had so much fun with it-flying over low again and again and again!  there was also a formation of 4 other jets that flew oover.  yu woudl have thought it was an airshow instead of a parade!  and 3.  Sean Astin was in our parade! here is a pic to prove it :

pretty nice, eh? i believe his family was trailing behind him...

Another exciting thing to happen was the birth of my nephew tony:

here is a rare picture of my hubby...doesnt' the aby look like a football in his arms??

Well, we had great fun with that day.  It is my youngest sisters birthday...and baby tony's father has 2 other relatives who share teh same birthday...But that is not the most fun!  I have a couple of very good friends whose sister was also pregnant , but not due until the 14th.  Well, turned out she also delivered 2 doors down from my sister!  hw fun is that???  Well, the other new mommy had 2 relatives adn one friend with the very same birthday of July 8th!  WHAT A DAY!!! 

other than all of that, I have been trying to do a lot of things outdoors sicne the weather has been so wodnerful.  We go to the park the lake, whereever i can go!  I am getting excited to begin homeschoong this year-officiallly.  We will be a aprt of a coop called homegrown hearts.  Thsi one is a new chapter or branch off of the old one which moved to porter county this year.  I am excitd to be the official photograper and in charge of clean up.  hey, we have to start somehwere! i am just excited to be so useful! haha.

Well, that is it for now.  i ahve tons of pics to post another time.  Oh, the street is nearly done! they have to put sidewalks in and then a protective top coat n the road and it will be done!  have a great day and thanks for reading.  I wil leave you with my favorit epic of baby tony, taken just minutest after he was born:
