Posting Problems...

We interrupt your regular scheduled programming...I've been experiencing some technical issues and every time I try to post anything, my computer crashes.

Hopefully, we'll get things fixed soon! In the meantime, I'm keeping track of daily posts so I can fill them in.

Phoenix Project: Day 110

Today we went for dinner at Mary and Zach's.

DELICIOUS!

It was so good - she made enchiladas with pork tenderloin, black beans, corn, cilantro/lime rice, lettuce, salsa...the WORKS! I'm not kidding, it was so amazing! There's something truly wonderful about having someone else cook dinner for you! It always tastes so much better! Besides swapping gross and funny stories, they taught us a new card game...which I have to practice a lot so I can go back and beat Mary!

Phoenix Project: Day 108

I was delaying this post because I REALLY wanted to post the photos to go with it but I haven't been able to track any down yet.

Bob was really involved with a church activity - a black and white event that featured skits highlighting New York in the last 100 years. Bob dressed up like Charlie Chaplin, John Travolta like character from Grease and a member of the Village People. He did an AMAZING job and it was SO FUNNY to watch! After the skits were over we stayed for a couple of hours to dance. It was a really great date night and as soon as I can get some photos, they'll be posted!

Many thanks to Kim for all her hard work in organizing the skits and preparing the scripts and costumes! You're extremely talented!

Phoenix Project: Day 107

Kailyn usually has piano on Thursday nights but tonight is a little different. She's been practicing the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Theme song, "I Believe" at school and gave an impromptu performance for her ballet teacher. I received an email from her ballet teacher asking if Kailyn would sing for the ballet recital in a couple of weeks. So, we tracked down the sheet music and some accompaniment for her and tonight she was practicing her song.

It's really inspiring to hear her sing such an empowering song, especially when I've had a long day...or week...or month ;)

Phoenix Project: Day 106

I'm usually alone on Wednesday nights because Bob has Ventures with the YM and then he plays hockey with his friends until 11:30. So...today I am so grateful for TV I can watch online! I can catch up on all my favorite shows and relax for a few hours...I love Parks & Rec, 30 Rock and occasionally a little Criminal Minds.

It's the perfect time to crack open a diet coke with lime, kick my feet up and relax!

Phoenix Project: Day 105

My work week is a little off this week because of the holiday Monday so I was in the office today. I still had to take Lukas to ninjutsu as soon as I got home and I was running late. Sometimes I feel like I'm pulled in so many directions...I raced in the door and my wonderful kid-sitter, Jinaye, had already feed Lukas and Kailyn and Lukas was dressed and ready to go to class.

I know I can't be everywhere at once and take care of everything but it's so reassuring that I have a wonderful kid-sitter to help me!

Hooray for kid-sitters!
