Day 116 - Tuesday, April 26, 2011 – We hard boiled six dozen eggs on Good Friday with the intent of dyeing them for Easter. Um, yeah, never got around to the dyeing part. Therefore, egg salad. It's what's for dinner.

Day 101 - Monday, April 11, 2011
Day 101 - Monday, April 11, 2011 – Liam and I went to the Pistons game tonight with Denise and Sam McMaken. Here are the boys before the game with "Coach Steve" who was wearing a big ring, so I'm sure he was important at some point, and might even still be.

Day 93 - Sunday, April 3, 2011
Day 93 - Sunday, April 3, 2011 - Ashton and Ashton. We visited Pat and Maria's new house today and it cracked me up to learn that Rachel has two baby dolls, a boy and a girl that she named Ashton and Phoebe. How cute is that?
Day 92 - Saturday, April 2, 2011
Day 92 - Saturday, April 2, 2011 - We ventured out of Oxford for dinner tonight. Shocking, I know. We went to Mr. B's in Rochester, which to my delight (and the boys') had a mini arcade-ish room. When I handed Liam (another) $5 to feed the claw game, Jordyn turned to me and said "Wow, THAT was a total waste of money." Ten minutes later Owen came running back with the treasures Liam had won for him. Purp and Key.

Day 87 - Monday, March 28, 2011 - Back in orthodontia at 38. This is my new bite splint (Jordyn got one, too!) to be worn every night. Apparently 9 years of treatment including a frankel with a tongue cage, braces for years, head gear, maxillofacial surgery, and retainers was not enough torture for me.

Day 85 - Saturday, March 26, 2011 - Wild Wild West Spring Fair at OES. I worked the silent auction, as always. Jordyn volunteered for the fourth year in a row (this year she helped in the cotton candy booth). Liam ran around spending his tickets. And poor Owen was still sick and couldn't come, which meant Kevin (very willingly) stayed home with O and Ash.

Day 82 - Wednesday, March 23, 2011
Day 82 - Wednesday, March 23, 2011 - When one of your babies wakes up with the stomach flu in the middle of the night, sometimes the solution is a toddler mattress on the floor of the master bedroom. Owen wanted to sleep in our bed, and I wanted to let him, but I knew that another episode was likely around the corner. So, this had to do.
