Wow! It's been almost a week since I last posted...but it's not my fault! I promise! Our internet connection at home has been terrible this past 5-6 days. We will have a connection for about 2 hours and then *poof!* it's gone. Bishnu has been working on it at home and trying to figure out but nothing has worked for an extended period of time.
We went up to Indy this weekend for a bbq at Brea and Stephen's house. Actually, Bret, Jonah and I went up to Indy. Mom and Bishnu had to work and Dad had already decided to go to a dinner/fundraiser for an old work friend. And as usual when Bret, Jonah and I are out together, people assumed that he was Jonah's daddy. *sigh* Dang Bishnu's schedule! Anyways, I'll see if I can get some pictures from others that were there (Bret forgot his camera) and post what I can.

We're searching for a twin size bed for Jonah. I've been pricing them online (cripes! they're expensive!) and of course I would love to get the one from Pottery Barn that they feature with the bedsheets we're getting Jonah but we also wouldn't be able to pay several bills after buying it soooo...I've been trying to find one that is made out of unfinished wood so I could do what I wanted to it but I'm not having much luck finding one of those either. Wish me luck and cross your fingers for me!

And on my last note - HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGGIE! *smooch* Hope you had a good one!

Ta ta for now!

Fun in the Sun...

I don't know about you but we had a great weekend...Bishnu was off this weekend so we were able to squeeze in a lot of family time. Saturday I was able to get up to the museum and volunteer for a couple of hours while Bishnu stayed home with Jonah. Sandy and I were able to print, fold and stuff most of the newsletters and get them ready to be mailed.
On Father's Day, I fixed breakfast for Bishnu and we got ready to go to a birthday party in Washington. The party was for Daniel, my mom's sister's older boy, who was turning 6. I can't believe he's 6 already! Coincidentally, he had a Cars themed cake that was very similar to the one Jonah had a couple of weeks ago. We spent a couple of hours catching up and chasing the kids around the park, which was pretty crowded that day. I, of course, got sunburnt all around the back of my neck and my upper arms. Bishnu and Jonah look very nice and tan today. I've been trying not to glower at them while I scratch my neck. But it's not working...Anyhoo, Grandpa Don (mom's dad) wasn't at the party because he is recovering from a dog bite to the hand. Yes. You heard me right. It seems that Grandpa was trying to separate two dogs who were fighting over picked cherries and one of them caught his hand. Hopefully it will heal up nicely soon. We'll keep you updated.
After the party we headed back to Petersburg and spent a couple of hours with Papaw Uppey (dad's dad). Finally got home at about 7 pm or so and Dad stayed here for a couple of hours. We watched 'Night at the Museum' (very cute! I recommend it!) and vegged out for the rest of the night. Hope you all had a nice Father's Day with your families!

Oh, I'm tired. Sorry if that was jumbled and whatnot. I really need to start blogging earlier in the day before I get too pooped out...

A little of this and a little of that...

I don't really have anything in particular to say. Well, that's not true. There are several things that I *could* blog about but I have stayed up extremely late the past two nights reading books (2:45 am and 1 am, respectively) and I am just too tired to really think about blogging tonight. So, instead, I'll just post some pics that I re-discovered this evening that I think are good. There will be no rhyme or reason...just real randomness here. Bear with me.



Resting at Eastland Mall -


Fun day at the Children's Museum in E-ville


At least someone had fun at Louisville Airport...Isn't he adorable?!


Papa*, Aama, me, Bishnu* and Jonah

*Who else here thinks that Bishnu is a mini-me of his dad? Can I get an amen?...Amen. Thank you.*

Ta ta for now!

Minnesota goodness

Well, we're back from Minnesota and we had a great time! It was wonderful seeing Bishnu's family and getting to spend some much needed time with them. They absolutely adored Jonah and all of his cars but he was still a little too shy to go give them hugs or lovies...maybe on the next visit. I really wish we could have stayed longer and that I knew more Nepali. Guess I'll have to break out my Nepali cd and book and get to practicing. And now I want to go to Nepal even more! Oh well...in time, I guess. Here are a couple of shots from Friday:

Some more of the beautiful flowers we saw

Roopa and Bishnu

That's only a few of what we took but I don't want to bombard you too much yet. I'm still trying to get the hang of this thing and I'll be adding more pictures in as soon as I get my other links figured out.

We're kind of at a standstill right now on decorating the house - our stove will be arriving on Thursday and we really can't do anything else until Bishnu and I both get paid. At least I'll be able to bake goodies soon. I'm still trying to convince Bishnu that a Kitchenaid Mixer is absolutely in the budget for the kitchen. He, however, begs to differ seeing as how we had to spend our stimulous check on kitchen appliances and have next to nil left over. And, of course, when he brings up that little nugget of information, I have to agree. My little hand-mixer will do just fine and mixes everything just the same. I just want one of those pretties! Preferably a yellow or white one...I know. I am shameless.

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vv <----- this is Jonah's contribution to my post. Y'all should feel honored...He tore himself away from his Cars movies, no small feat by any means, to come see what I was doing and felt the need to push a few buttons.

And on that note, I'll go. Ta ta for now!
