MY FIRST SHINER



Well the ice got me this year. I was getting into my car to leave mom and dads when I slipped on the ice and hit my head on the corner of my car. Looks better now but I looked like quasimodo when it first happened with my eye all swollen. Funny thing was when I saw mom after she thought I was doing my eyeshadow differently. Hope you all enjoy!

The Paisley Shirt Resurfaces for yet another Christmas


Christmas 2007

Well Christmas is here at last!
Riley made everyone come and sit down while he distributed the presents to them.
Of course he has the biggest pile.

He got this really cool Transformer from Casey and Andrea.

The spiderman hoppy ball was a big hit.

Here he is on the loose with spiderman.

You should have heard him squeal when he saw the "Curious George" books.

He got a couple of cool light sabers from Mom & Dad.

This is Luke Skywalker fighting with Darth Vader.
"Come to the Dark Side Luke."

There were actually other people there besides Riley.

Uncle Casey got this Video from Uncle Adam.

Heather & Reed got a lot of cool Stuff also.

I Think everyone was pretty happy.

and tired.

This of course is Riley playing with his best friend Momma Lynn.

Didn't get a picture of every single gift but I think everyone was really happy with what they got. Thank-You......Mom & I love you all.............Merry Christmas :-)

First Snow in Maryland

Here it is. Pictures of my neighborhood front yard and back and the first snowfall for us. The snow is all gone as we've had a lot of rain lately.
Enjoy,
Rachel




Knee update

Here are pictures of my knee now. I have the bandage off and I'm bending it and putting more weight on it. Trying to walk around a little. My Doc. apt. is Thurs. and Physical Therapy starts Fri. The big staples in my hand are the ones they took out from my first surgery.
I love and miss you all.

Chesapeak Bay Fishing

This is the second year I've gone fishing with Co-workers on the Chesapeak Bay. And again we caught some huge fish. My friend Kim was a first timer and she caught the biggest fish of all. 35 lbs. I'm holding her fish.


Snow and Surgery

My knee surgery was scheduled for Wed. Dec. 5th. When I woke up it was already snowing and it continued all day and into the night. The first snowfall of the year dropped about 4 inches.

Surgery went well. My ACL wasn't torn after all and they couldn't repair the meniscus so they cut it out and removed 2 staples from my first surgery.


Here are pictures of the wrap on my leg from surgery and a few get well gifts from friends and co-workers. For some reason I couldn't get the snow pics to upload. Maybe next time.

THE UPSTAIRS CHRISTMAS TREE

The best part about putting up the Christmas tree is the empty box the tree comes in.

Time to roll out.

Now lets see.........how did this go together last year?

And all you do is just add water.

The leg bones connected to the knee bone...........woops wrong song.

Another master piece.

Ok! Get busy decorating.

A couple of cuties!!!!!!

Even Great Grandma got in the act.

Let's see. I think this would look good right here.

Almost done.

The finished product.
