So what is this?

Why it's Ashleigh and Sam all in one shoe....

No we did not buy it.

The votes are in...

Today we went shopping to finish off the outfit...

WE Bought SHOES

And a little black Jacket

to finish off the whole SHEBANG

as Ashleigh calls it.

Shomer like the outfit also...

What is the hottest commodity in Israel ?

O.k. so maybe I am giving myself a little to much credit but all the kids seem to want them. At least all the kids that Sam knows.

I know they like the pillows but the collages are quicker and can be sent via snail mail and e-mail.

I started doing these as letters to Mike the Greek back when he was in the Army and then to Morgan and Nathan when we were re-building the house way back in 2003. So these collages are not new but they are a fun way to keep those we love in touch with what we are doing way out in California.

So it really was a no brainer that when Sam went to Israel that I would send her letters on the back of my family friendly stationary what I didn't expect was the request for their own collages that I would get from the kids... including some of my own (Celia) anyway I thought you might like to see what we have been sending to Sam and some of the other collages that I have been creating over the years.

Enjoy

Back to Sunday with Rose

The family gathered on Sunday (almost all of us) to see Rose

... Barry made sure the chair didn't escape



Rose and Ashleigh focused on playing with Kennah. Who had a Water Doodle to play with a very cool toy that uses water to make pictures and then when the water dries and the drawing dissapears. It was looking like so much fun that Daddy had too be a part of the fun.













Eventually most of the other girls (Jolee Kylee were missing) made it to Bubbie's house where it was time to celebrate.

What dress do I wear?

O.k.... He said yes to Vice so now we are on the great dress hunt...

Dress Number 1

Dress Number 2

Dress Number 3

Dress Number 4

And last but not least is dress number 5

Now no good shoping trip is complete without at least one item that you did not intend buy... and this was a good shoping trip so...

So now it is your turn to vote...

let Ashligh know which dress you like best.

number 4 or number 5

And just remember the dance is this weekend.

RGEB is moving

way back in November we found some new office space and after a little back and forth we signed the lease... and now the real fun is going to start. We picked out the paint it looks better in real life that in pictures.

We also picked out our carpets. Christine is really excited about this color. It is called copper rust.

We have talked with our IT guys and that won't be cheap.. then we had to deal with the phone (that is still in the bid stages) and furniture and movers and and and....

But this weekend we worked in the office emptying out stuff, taking stuff to storage and going back to the new space to see what had been done.

there must be something about this dress

If you look back to Aug of 2006 you will see that Sam, Morgan and Ashleigh fell in love with a dress at American Apperal. At that time Barry and I were laughing at the three of them thinking they were triplets in training. Well it got funnier when I saw this picture on Celia's Blog (details).

yes, it is all the same dress, just diffrent colors and diffrent bodies.
