Sarah and Softball

A friend of mine took these photos for me at one of Sarah's game. Thanks Karen. I don't think I could do that well.

NJHS inductions

Ashleigh was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. For those of you that don't know about NJHS they are an academic club. Ashleigh had to have a 3.5 GPA(she had a 3.6) and other community activity to be inducted. Their are only 29 students in a school of about 1,000. Way to go Ashleigh

I thought they outlawed child labor

Paul taught Ashleigh today how to mow the grass. She just jumped with joy at the chance to learn something new. Can't you tell.

Soccer Dog

Here is Max with his favorite new toy. If you tell him no biting he will push it with his nose. Isn't he cute.

Christy and Stacey when they get old?

So for all of you who thought you were looking into the future. You're not. This is Aunt Jo and mom taking a break from shopping.

Hard Rock Park

We found out that Hard Rock is opening a park in Myrtle Beach in 2008. In fact it is right down the road from Aunt Jo's house. To promote the park they have opened a preview center(it's free) to show you all the wonderful things they will have. Here are just a few.

Here we are outside of the preview center. This is a sand scuplture of some great musicians. For those of you who don't know. Left to right-Elvis, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Jimmy Hendrix

This is one of the roller coaster that they show a preview of.

Peace, love and hippieness. These beads led to the blacklight area. That was very cool. They had a catwalk that had a blacklight tunnel rollign around it and you thought you were moving on the catwalk.

Pong anyone?

A small model of the whole park. I can't wait until it opens.

Motley Crue

So Mother's Day weekend my mother, sister and I went to Myrtle Beach to visit with my Aunt Jo. It was one of the best times I have had. The kids stayed with Paul and I did not worry about them at all. We ate when we wanted to, we slept when we want to and just had a great time.

Here is the floor I helped my father lay down at their rental property. I got to use a chop saw and a jig saw for the first time ever. I was real easy to do. I really think I will be putting this in my hallway at home.

Max at 5 months

He is growing so fast. As you can see he has given up on the little bed and moved to the bean bag.

That's a big bowl

And all of you wondered why he was getting bigger. With a bowl that size he should be bigger.

What's that smell

For some reason Max is a shoe dog. He loves to lay his head in them and on them. He also like to chew them so we have to be careful.

Who is that little dot

That is Ashleigh in the school play. She is the one in purple. I couldn't get it much closer. She had one of the larger roles in the play. I felt that she did fantastic.

Long time

So it has been awhile since I posted anything. We have been busy here at the homestead. The girls have started softball and I am coordinating it for the league. It is very new to me so I am learning alot. We went to my sister's for a couple of days during spring break. I helped her paint Pete's room. It turned out pretty cool. Hopefully they post pictures of the room when it is all done. I helped my father lay a floating floor on Sunday. It was quite easy. I think I may be doing on in my hallway. Watch out Bob Villa. Picture to follow.

Fat Dog in Little Bed

He obvisiously hasn't figured out that he does not fit in this bed anymore.

This is from the first day we brought Max home. Does he look so little.

This is almost one month later. He has gained almost 8 pounds since we brought him home. All his baby fur is gone. When does the puppy breath go away?

Who's in my spot

As you can tell Max has quickly taken over the Orlowski household. He has stolen my spot. little bugger

A girl and her dog

Everytime I tried to get a picture of Sarah and Max one was not looking my way. Here are the results

Our new arrival

For those of you that did not know. We welcomed a new addition to our family. He is 11lbs and has blond hair. His name is Max and he is about the cutest thing you have ever seen. Below is a picture.

Two angles of our condo. It was a perfect fit for us. We had two condos. My sister's family and my famly stayed in one. My parents, brother and aunt's family stayed in the other.

Look I can do it too

My nephew Sam was too young to take lessons so Ashleigh let him ride her board in the condo.
