Plasma

Mike and I put up our Christmas tree a few days ago and it looks so nice. I just like sitting there looking at all the ornaments we have collected. Meanwhile while I'm adoring the tree my beloved husband is absorbed by his newest "toy" plasma T.V. Need I say more? We have been looking to buy a flat screen for the past two years and about a month ago we finally gave in. It is very nice and we are happy with our purchase. I don't really get to watch a lot of T.V. in the living room anymore because there is always some sporting event that he needs to see in "HD" :) It's okay with me it is nice to see Mike so happy.

Another part of this story is that we are waiting to have the T.V. mounted on the wall. We had the mirror removed from above our fireplace they patched it up and Mike sanded and painted the wall. After all that he put up the wall mount. The last step was to take the base stand off. He removed all but one of the screws from the base stand. The last screw is stuck in the T.V. We could not get it out. So I called the support services and they said they would call back in 2 days and then have someone come out and look at it in another few days. It really stinks.

So now that beautiful T.V. is sitting in front of the fireplace anxiously awaiting its true home up on the wall.

I hope that before Christmas I will be able to post some pics of that darn T.V. up on the wall!

Halloween Fun

Here are some pics from Halloween, I took the easy route and was a scarecrow.

Mike made his pumpkin using Mr. Potato head parts that I found at target. It turned out very cute and all the trick or treaters loved it!

Mine I carved, It was messy but worth it. Mike made some really good pumpkin seeds out of it.

I just can't believe that it is November! Where does the time go?

Cute Little Booger!

Mike and I were lucky enough to be able to go and visit his sister, her husband, and our nephew last weekend. We traveled to Long Island, NY. where we spent 2 wonderful days with them. T.J. our nephew is getting so big, he turned 10 months while we were there. We just love getting to interact with him. My sister in-law and brother in-law are pretty cool too, however they both know we are most taken with "the boy"! So here are some recent pics and a few videos TOO CUTE!

Roos Visit 2008

In September my friend Jennie came to Connecticut to visit us. She brought her cute little family with her. We first went to Boston where they had been staying for a few days. We drove there in the morning and came back to CT later that night. Here are a few pics from our day trip to Boston. What a beautiful city.


This is the church of christian science. It was beautiful.

Jennie and Rick took us on a "Duck" Tour. This is a boat that drives on land and can go directly into the water. It was nice but pretty chilly, so Mike gave me the "shirt off his back" to keep me warm. We drove by all the Boston sights including Cheers!

Jennie was brave and actually drove the duck boat in the water! She even took her little Quacker with her!

Baby "M"

Jennie is so friendly she made friends with a group of bike taxi guys. She told them she always wanted to try it so we did. It was hilarious! We had a great time. Thanks Jennie for making the trip out from UT. I will post some of their Connecticut vacation next!
