I Heart Google Reader!

My brother-in-law encouraged me about 2 months ago to give Google Reader a try. And, rather than learn something new, I decided I liked the "old-fashioned" way of checking blogs and various websites. I would go to my favorites list, and click one at a time to see if they've updated.

Well, after reading my friend Dawn's blog, and seeing her love for Google Reader, I thought I'd give it a try.

I LOVE IT!

Instead of checking several dozen websites everyday to see if there's anything new, all I have to do is click on my Google Reader page and ONLY the sites with updated material show up on my home page. I highly recommend it! It's my newest addiction (in addition to Facebook . . . come be my friend!).

Give it a try! You won't be sorry! It'll make your blogging experience much more efficient and enjoyable. Happy blogging!

Welcome Baby Lydia!

Congrats to Mike's brother and sister-in-law, Marc and Lori on the birth of their beautiful baby girl! She was born yesterday (April 10) and weighed in at 7 lbs 8 oz and was 21 in long!

My girls are SO VERY excited to have a "girl cousin"! We were able to visit her and her parents last night just after her Uncle Matt and Aunt Olivia were there. See Olivia's blog, LMNO, for more pics. Notice that she was wide awake for us, but she slept for Matt and Olivia . . . tee hee!

Welcome baby Lydia! We love you!

Sweet Lydia

Lydia with Uncle Mike, and cousins Faith and Bella

Proud Mommy and Daddy!

Note to Self:

When ordering a large pizza from the local pizza joint. Make sure you clarify that you did NOT mean the 24" Party Pizza for $35.



When the car door won't shut, because the pizza box is too big . . . there's an issue!

It's amazing what can happen in a fairly short amount of unsupervised time . . .
