First Field Trip

Today was Gabe's first field trip; I went with him and his 22 classmates, three other chaperons, and his teacher to Black Berry Farms, which is an apple orchard, among other things. The kids had a blast eating apple butter, checking out the orchard on a "hay" ride, and watching Tom (who was CRAZY as a bedbug, seriously) grind apples to make cider. Very interesting and enjoyable for the little ones.

This afternoon I spent my birthday relaxing and reading...what more could the birthday girl want?! he he

SarahAnne has begun talking in her sleep...she had a full conversation with Geo tonight about fixing her clothes *laughs* silly girl

On another, completely unrelated note, Mia Hays has still NOT been found...please keep her and her family (specifically her two year old daughter Bella) in your thoughts and prayers.

This birthday girl is tired...and will post again soon with pics of the kiddos...g'nite all!

Allow myself to introduce...myself

I'm Chrissi and I'm the momma :) I love to blog, cook, read, teach, volunteer, and listen to Sarah McLachlan-some would even say I'm obsessed with her...

I feel really strongly about special needs advocacy, abolishing the "r" word, having a strong, tight family, and a good solid marriage.

Geo would be the daddy around here...he's sometimes called "HH" (as in, Hunky Hubby)He's also "HH" to Gabe, as in the "homework helper" or maybe that's the Hockey hound...not quite sure...he works for General Mills and loves it.

Gabriel McGee aka McGooch, Birdy, bird person, etc etc is our nine year old. He's starting fourth grade, loves to read, is our resident Lincoln expert, and has a scruffy stuffed dog that comes to life when we're not around...watch out "Calvin and Hobbes" here comes Gabe and Sam!

SarahAnne, who's usually referred to as Bitsy in these parts (and in real life-in fact, she usually introduces herself as Bitsy!) is Trouble. She's six and a half going on sixteen, she's funny as all get out, incredibly smart , and is always blaming the crocodiles for her naughty behavior...and she going to be in first grade this year and is so so happy about it!

Boni cat is our furry baby; he's a crabby old man cat, as we call him and can usually be found on Gabe's bed snoozing whether or not Gabe is in bed. Mr. Naughty Kitty also has an affinity for nibbling on plants! Our other black kitty is Bam (aka "itty") and he's, in a word, dumb. He's energetic, bouncy, furry and allows Bits to put him in a stroller and dress him up. Poor thing.

Betsy has been the one and only puppy face in the house for a year now and I think we're finally adjusted to being dog owners. She's dumb to be sure but also the sweetest animal on the face of the planet...the complete opposite of Nibbler who's been here nearly a year and has finally decided that *I* can touch him but not much and only on his terms. We're fairly sure he doesn't like us and still harbors resentment for being the only non B named pet in the family, though he is referred to by all of us as "Bibby" or "Bibbers" apparently that's just a slap in his stripey gray face...oh well.

Welcome to our blog!!
