Baby Abe and Ithaca

Grandma Ewing came out in March to meet new Baby Abe! Yes another flight east for her, she had time to wash her clothes and pack up again! We were all really excited to go to Ithaca and see the new little Chunky Spud and of course the B&B, I&A Ewing family! Eli was super proud of his new "little" brother 9lbs 3ozs! He was such a cute baby and is growing like a weed! The picture of Dylan by the TV shows his mario kart 1st place win, it's what he was doing while we were cooing over the baby :-)

I love Ithaca, probably not as much as Brady and Brooke do but it is a very unique and beautiful place that we've enjoyed visiting. Thanks for letting us invade you guys once in a while.

Blogger M.I.A.

So I know I have been Missing In Action the last 6 months, sorry! Truth is things have been crazy with lots of activities and places to go, things to do and people to see ..... Stuff I should probably be blogging about right? So I am playing a little catch up, mostly for the Grandmas and family who cares to see the "Ewing Action." I will be trying to go in chronological order and will probably backdate the posts so that they fit into the months that they actually happened ..... ya know cheating to make it look like I posted things when I should have :-) (including this post, yep it's going to be labeled March and not August)

Sorry to all those dedicated bloggers who update their blogs regularly and never have blogging black outs that I know have been going NUTTS while checking mine and seeing the same post up for months !

I will be on the ball from here on out!

Oh and I also decided to give the blog a facelift and shake it up a bit, I like it hope you do. The family picture was done by my good friend Suzi and I will be posting more soon!

Reagan's Art Show Entry

Reagan came home from school in March and told us that her Art teacher had entered a painting that she painted of cardinals in the snow, in a City Wide art show at the Mall! Reagans painting and a friend in her classes pencil drawing, (you can see a bit of the friends in the photo with Reagan pointing at her painting, her friends is multi colored) they were the only two kids chosen for the show from 3rd grade! Needless to say we were all very impressed and excited! We went to the mall and found the art display and her beautiful painting!

Below are a couple of fun pictures of her Art Work!

She is such a talented artist! What a gal!

New Mommy ????

It has been SUNNY and Warm'is here in Erie! I am loving the healthy dose of Sunshine and Vitamin D we are getting. The kids get outside recess and Jack and I are getting out of the house daily to catch some rays :-)

So this past Sunday after Church Wes was walking out with the kids to the car, they had found me once ..... and then I had lost them again ..... so he just got sick of waiting and decided to go to the van. (I had the keys) As soon as I came out of the building Dylan came running up to me and said: "Oh, Mom I thought you were lost" and started crying ... just broke my heart. A big hug later and some reassurance from me that I was not lost and he seemed fine. He then jumped into Wes's car with him to head home. Everything seemed hunky dory.

When we got home Wes told me that on their way out to the car after Church Dylan asked: "Where's Mommy?" and Wes responded with a casual "She's lost." Dylan than panicked and said: "Oh no what are we going to do?" and started crying Wes then said: "Don't worry we'll get a new Mommy." (nice right...) This brought and eye roll from Reagan, and massive tears from Dylan follow by: "Oh, I'm really going to miss her" (it's good to know that I am loved). So this explains Dylan's tears and relief when he saw me coming out of the Church. Later that day I explained that I would always be his Mommy no matter what!

Good to know that I am so quickly replace by some, and truly missed by others ..... you know who you are!

A Dog Day ..... Birthday that is :-)

Ever wonder "What kind of people put a party hat on a dog?" ...... US!

It was Wally's Birthday on February 26th and we had a little puppy party. Ok we just stuck a hat on him, sang, and Rea and Dyl helped him open his presents. But Wes said "I better not see any of those pictures on the blog" so just for Wes ....... here's a picture of the older 2 kids and Wally on his 1st birthday. 7 in dog years and such a good dog!

(glad we don't go by dog years, I don't want to think about how old I'd be)

More Snow

I know, I know we have TONS of snow pictures up on the blog, what do you expect we live in a place where winter lasts an eternity and we are doing our best to make the most of it! Really I can't wait for spring. The spring here is truly a rebirth and so beautiful, I have never loved spring more than I have since living here. So much blooming and sprouting, and filled with tons of green leaves and blossoms and colors, plus the added bonus of some sunshine ..... how I miss you sunshine, you have no idea! So this is yet another snow picture but one too cute for me not to post .... Here's hoping we have a quick thaw and get to see wonderful, beautiful ........

Spring Soon!

ok one more
