16 and 30 in the 313 on 9 11

Happy Birthday Michael and Andy!

September 11th, Michael and Andy, two of my nephews birthdays.

Andy is 16 and will get his license.
And his moms Saturn.
And his freedom, well sort of.




Michael is 30
THIRTY
Bwahahahaha
Knowing Michael, once the shock is over,
he'll begin to worry about turning 40.

Smorgasboard Monday

Friday night was another great "girls night out" with my friend Donna .

Saturday, lunch was with Donna and our friend Jim, who we hadn't seen in over 20 years.


Saturday night was a surprise 30th birthday party for my nephew Captain Obvious.


Sunday Debbie and I went to Comerica Park to watch The Detroit Tigers lose to vs The Baltimore Orioles .... unfortunately the best part was when our row of seats won a free pizza for each of us.


Kellan at On The Flipside has reposted my post from last February, Profiling Pit Bulls. Check out her site and leave her a comment. Her Flipside blog features other bloggers past posts that open up discussions to different opinions. She's had some great topics. She also has an Upside blog! She is someone I met at BlogHer in San Francisco and truly is a wonderful person.

They're Baaaacck!

Remember when Marie Millard and Captain Obvious
performed this fine dance routine to the Scissor Sister song,
I Don't Feel Like Dancing?

We're back again, dancing to the start of the Christmas season.
Just click on the photo.

Now go make one of you and the kids, add the dog too!

Guess Who Has a Birthday Today?

It's Captain Obvious!

Happy 15th Birthday to Andy

It is also my other nephew Andy's birthday.
He is still in high school, and may not be forgiving
if I posted his baby pictures.

So here is a nice photo of him marching in his high school band.

And his Harry Potter look.


See some GOOD things did happen on 9/11 ...
Happy birthday you guys!

Captain Obvious

You may have already figured out, by comments left here in the past, that Captain Obvious is my nephew Michael.

When I was first married, wait, make that second marriage, before I had my kids, Michael spent a lot of weekends with us, "Aunt Nancy" and "Uncle Bill". I have MANY hilarious photos of him from those days, but I better get permission before I post any. I am smart enough to know his parents have documented ammunition that he could post showing my finer Kodak moments.

Michaels job took him to Germany for a year, and that's when "Captain Obvious" was born. A perfect way to keep in touch with the family and post beautiful pictures from his European vacations and weekend jaunts. Check out his flicker site for some of the most awesome shots.

He has asked me how I have so many "on line" friends. The blogger world will do that to you! Head over to his site and leave him some hugs ... pump up his comment count for a day *smiles*

Here is a video of Michael and I "dancing" ... um sorta. Just click on the picture.
