Happy 5th birthday to Miss Lyndsie...Cinderella herself came to visit and brought lot's of fun things for the little girls! They got to pick out their dresses, jewelry, make-up, fairy dust, hand painting...they played games, and danced it up! They were all truly in awe of Cinderella, especially lil' Jess, who was too funny and couldn't stop touching Cinderella's dress...:)
The cake & cupcakes Cinderella arrives...
A fun way to keep friends who are near or far, close and in-touch!

Dinner Celebration
I decided to throw a lil' dinner party for Tina to celebrate her big day...it's been a crazy year for her and stressful times, so I whipped up some crab cakes, salmon, rice, asparagus, salad and appi's, and Staci made a low-fat Angel food cake...kids sang to her and made her a ton of cards...we also had a small 'surprise' planned, which brightened her day!!!!
CAKE time...

My Dad
Most of you know my dad is suffering from pancreatic cancer AND lymphoma. To date no treatment has been scheduled...just lots and lots of tests...it's VERY FRUSTRATING!
And most of you know we have a HUGE family and lots of friends, so I thought since I do email updates to everyone, it might actually be better if I set up a Caring Bridge page dedicated to my dad. This way, anyone can sign up for automatic updates, and they can fwd the link to anyone else too.
So, I've set up his page today (see link below), and it's still in the very early stages, but expect updated journal entries starting tomorrow, on test, treatments, results, etc...I will also add photos, etc.
There's just so much going on, I think this is the best way to communicate. So, here is the link...feel free to comment in the guestbook section as well:

Wish comes true....

This is the other DY ring I LUV that I had FIRST posted about...they are very similar, but the top ring has a bunch of mini diamonds where the below ring is one solid diamond. I still want this one someday...is that horrible or what...lol!

Me...Myself...and I...
That was my gift to myself today for my birthday! I refer to it as a "Maureen Day!" I took the day OFF. Appointment to get a hair cut, pedi and run errands. Nothing fancy, just a few hours to devote to myself. I awoke this morn to my awesome family showering me w/ home made bd cards...and it was snowing...looks so nice out, but uh...enuff of that now, I'm not a Winter weathered person and I hate driving in snow....I miss the sun, sand, and beaches (hence my call name DeweyBEACHgirl....!) So, another year older...and very blessed for my health, my friends, and my family....they are SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
2nd Front Tooth GONE!
