Simpsonize Me!

Hello Simpson lovers!

A friend of mine from MindVolt (a design firm in Athens, AL) told me about simpsonizeme.com & I just HAD to Simpsonize the Dilessa family! I am posting a picture of the complete family...although Romeo & I are a little too tan. :P

Oh well...enjoy! & go Simpsonize yourself!!

God Bless,

Tuscaloosa

This past weekend we had the opportunity to visit with an old friend (who is now almost a lawyer...he'll find out his bar exam results in September) in Tuscaloosa. It was a great visit & the kids really gave him a run for his money (he doesn't have any kids yet) :) Unfortunately my camera is broken at the moment (as mom is continuing to search for the receipt from Christmas) so I don't have any pictures to share right now :( But I can say it was a good day, and we enjoyed catching up & seeing the arboretum. Dash jumped in puddles & rolled in mud & we all sweated a great deal. Wilder got to see the continued cob construction that was started o so long ago (in 2004) and finally, IT RAINED!! Praise the Lord for bringing rain to Alabama! Bring it again Lord, we'll be ready!

(I'm posting a picture we took a few months ago when we were working on said cob sonstruction at the arboretum)

Have a great day!

Boating

Hello Again! (Can you tell I'm loving this?)

I just wanted to post a semi-recent picture of the kiddies & I on a boating trip in Florida. Unfortunately Wildre had to stay at home & work :( But the kids & I had a blast! My friend Bean took us out on her dad's boat, we grilled out, saw manatees, and played on a sandbar. I really loved seeing all the birdies too. So did the kiddies. I'll have to post another pic of Bean with Romeo. They were so sweet. He fell asleep after all of the fun. And of course, Dash loved GOING FAST on the boat.

Until our next boating adventure, be safe & bless God!

Romeo

Guess what? My dear sweet Romeo has started walking! I was so amazed last night when he saw a soccer ball in our den and instead of crawling for it, he stood and took five steps!! I just said, "ah ah ah..." when I wanted to say, "Wilder!! Look at Romeo!! He's walking!!" Too cool. I'm so proud. And Dash was so proud, he started playing a song on the guitar. Wow! What an awesome day it was. Thank the Lord for video! Now I can remember it forever!

Have a great day y'all!
