Its Creepy

Today I went to get a prescription I have for my migraines refilled only to be told that I did not have any refills left. I was somewhat baffled and asked how that could be, I had the empty bottle stating that I had one refill and I had actually only ever filled it once. They told me no I had indeed filled it on May 7th. They then pulled up the signature from when I picked it up. I looked at it and knew instantly that it was not my or anyone in my families signature. The longer I thought about it I also realized that May 7th was the day that we left for vacation so I wasn't even in town when I filled this prescription. I asked the pharmacist more info and found out the most alarming thing is that this person who did this knows me. They know what medications I am on, what pharmacy I use, my birth date, and most likely that I was going to be out of town. I find this all more than a little unsettling.

The Van

So Last Monday we found a great deal on a van in Detroit so we packed our bags and headed to MI. I love, love, love it! I feel like I could have driven my little Aveo right in the back. James and Ellie seem to be enjoying it too. On the way home we were able to stop and visit Frank and Sonja (and fam). It was really nice to see them even if for only a few hours. It was the first time we were able to visit their new house. Anyways this is just a quick post with a few pics of the trip and of course a few of Ellie here at home.

Poor kid was trying to watch Lady and the Tramp but I kept asking him to smile, I guess this is what can be expected.

Sonja and Ellie

It proved somewhat difficult to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time.

Little Peepette

I think in this one her face reflects her horror that the rag has slipped and is now worthless in our attempt at modesty.

So much better.

Making Sense Out of It

It has come to my attention that none of the text that I had with my last post actually posted. I can imagine some of the pictures made little sense without it. What I was trying to say was that ever since James was born he has had a very special bond with his purple bear blanket named Lumpy. Its his best friend. While I was pregnant with Ellie I started looking for a similar toy for her and as it turns out they are harder to find than you might think. I finally found one and it would seem she likes him. We decided to name him Hopper as he looks like a grasshopper brownie. Every time I went to check on her Hopper was in a different spot. As for the naked monster on the sofa...he had his clothes banished because he had two accidents in 15min. he was laying on the sofa and I asked him to look at Momma and he said "No". I asked why not and he said " cuz I nigh nigh" Well why didn't I think of that? I know this is random but at least it will make the last post somewhat more understandable.

Our Business Venture

Tim has been wanting to start his own power washing business for a while now. We had made the decision to go ahead with it and buy the equipment as soon as the loan was finalized. We were looking on Craigslist for vans and happened to find a power washing unit and some other cleaning equipment for sale down in the Dallas area. It was such a good deal Tim took off work and we headed for Texas. The trip down was great, coming back not so good but all around it was a good trip and we had a lot of fun. Saving money is always fun plus we got to have two days of family time as a bonus. The kids were real little troopers although having grown up as a seasoned traveler I must say we are no longer. Potty stop here, snacks there, gas, nurse the baby, etc. I got a few pics of the trip so here they are.

One of the afore mentioned potty stops. Unfortunately this time we did not pull over in time.
This fact is illustrated by the look in his face.

Farewell My Little Red Car...A Tribute

This past Wed. we sold my little red Aveo to make way for a mini van. Here is a pictoral tribute to the life of my good and faithful servant. We had an awesome time together.

We bought it salvaged and fixed it up slowly over the next year.. This was after the body work before the paint.

So much more than a car.
