Phew! The Holidays are Over!


Hey Howdy!

Wow, I can't believe how fast the holidays went by! I've been remiss, I know. Sometimes things I want to do just keep getting pushed towards the back burner.

We all hope you had a great holiday! We sure did! Way back in November (can you remember that far back?) we were excited because Nonie and Papa Sudar came up to spend the holiday with us. Jack got to enjoy the holiday with all his grandparents plus some aunts and uncles! Jack even said "Nonie" for the first time while she was here! [For those of you who don't know, 'Nonie' is what I called my grandmother - she was Italian. I heard it once on TV too!]

Spending time with "Papa-Nonie"

Getting Ready to Feast!

We spent Christmas here in Colorado this year - our first in a while! But we had lots of fun and Jack was so excited on Christmas morning to see that Santa had really come, AND Santa hadn't eaten all of his snacks! He had been really worried about this Snack Eating Fellow who just showed up in houses saying he brought gifts (as if that could make up for making off with one's fruit bars). We had a quiet morning and went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Christmas dinner and a good visit.

Merry Christmas!

Hmm. . . maybe this Santa guy is OK after all.

January brought Scott's birthday, as well as our first really huge snowfall of the season. Jack was a bit unsure of going out in the snow, but he braved it for about 10 minutes, and even smiled once.



We are just counting our Blessings and enjoying the new year. Hopefully all of you are too! Take care and we'll see you Next Time!

    I know you think no one looks at these anymore, probably because no one comments. But I sure look at them. It brightens my work day to see you guys. Love you!

    Dena, I love your blog and the pictures! I quit commenting a while back because I thought it might seem weird to you since we have never actually met.....but, I feel like I know you guys through Pat. I have enjoyed each and every one of your posts and the pictures of you, Scott, and Jack. What a sweet family. I actually come here every day to see if there is something new! I think Jack is a gorgeous child!

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back.  (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.)  It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom?  Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called.  Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage.  There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...")   It act...

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...

I'm Gonna Have To Get a Female Cat. . .

Today was our 20 week ultrasound and appointment! Everything is going really well. Baby looks to be about 9 oz in weight and has a good heartbeat of about 132 bpm. But enough stalling! It appears I remain outnumbered in our home now - 3 boys to 1 girl (5:1 if you count our feline friends!). That's right folks, another boy! How many of you were right??? We were able to get a nice "up from the bottom" shot that confirmed the gender. We also took a nice shot of his foot, and his profile. Actually, I think I was in there for 45 minutes and she took about 50 shots of various organs and body parts. We got the two thumb's up from the doctor that he's looking great. I also got some medicine to try if my nausea continues to be a burden. Yes, just today I was feeling sick again. *sigh* Just for comparison I looked up some of the posts from this time with Jack: Nov 2008 Some things are the same: I still can't eat fruit without feeling sick, and I'm dropping thing...
