Its Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! Here are a few photos of my most favorite women. Whether you're a mother yet or not, you are all of great worth to everyone whose lives you touch every day--including mine! 

Love,

Jenny

Katherine is practicing her Mary Poppins skills on Payton.  She seems less entertained than the rest of us.



Then we also catch a brief moment of Jared's impressive dancing skills.

Catch up attempt...San Francisco Trip October 2010

So okay I've really slacked off but now that I think of it, no one really reads this but a handful of people but I will persist.  I at least feel better that I am doing some kind of journaling in my life.  Maybe someone will appreciate looking back at all this stuff.  I really am thinking about starting a new blog for the Sawyers/Mossman clan and leave this one for just the reunion stuff.  Maybe some day when I've retired...in about a hundred years or so.

Anyway, well Jeff and I made a quick little trip to San Francisco last October.  Jeff's son Chris works for Charles Schuab and their headquarters of course is there.  He suggested to Jeff that he come out towards the end of his week long trip and spend the weekend with him seeing the sights.  So Jeff is always ready to take a little trip and agreed.  And since our wedding anniversary is Oct. 1 and we always take some little trip out of town--usually just to San Antonio, so we decided that I'd fly to SF on the Monday Chris returned to Austin and Jeff and I would spend a few days in the city we spent our honeymoon in.  We burned the candle at both ends every night trying to fit everything we could in including eating the most exquisite...yes I said EXQUISITE food every day for practically every meal and even one night had 2 desserts because we just couldn't resist the creme brulee even though our plans were to wait until we got to Ghiradelli Square for a hot fudge Sunday.  Life is short--have dessert twice!

Floors are all DONE!!!

Well, I feel like its been months since we started this project and just have a vague memory of living in my own room, having a larger bath with a separate shower and all my clothes in one place.  But soon we'll have it all back together.  The floors are done and they look gorgeous!  I'm very pleased.  I'm sure I'm going to be pretty anal about everyone keeping their shoes off (you can bring a rock in on your shoe and mess it up) and taking the swiffer mop to it every 5 minutes.  And every time someone drops something I'll hold my breath.  Heavy items can gouge the floor.  But they say I'll calm down after a few weeks.  The only problem with these beautiful new floors is that a whole new can of worms has been opened.  I want to paint and redecorate!  It better be a good year for real estate that's all I can say.  Then Jeff will stop having palpitations!

Wood Floors--Almost Done!

We've still got a way to go but things are starting to take shape.  What is becoming clearer the more I look at it is that we are going to have to repaint the dining room.  The floor makes the walls look purple.  Yuck!
