Villainous Hacker...

Heh-hem

**clears throat noisily**


To Queen Stephanie and her court (which is mostly comprised of jesters):


This is to inform you that as of this fine day in NOVEMBER, the people demand an updated post. That requires the members of her highness's high staff to allow the queen serious amounts of rest, relaxation, and adequate access to the royal computer. She shall no longer water low-hanging fruit, cook delicious meals, or pick up the high staff's tinker toys around the castle until a new post has been created.

The people are advised of the Queen's complicated schedule, extenuating circumstances, and the fact that her birthday is approaching lending way to age-related dementia and early Alzheimer's. As such, the people agree to short posts consisting primarily of pictures - we don't even need captions, allowing our own imaginations to tell the story...we have vivid minds, you'd hate to deprive us.

**stares off into the distance in deep, mischievous thought**

**shakes head to clear the naughty thoughts and return to duty**

As is evidence by this post, the people have hacked into the royal blog and will take it over unless our demands are met. Be advised that such a take-over will not be flattering to any Hallowellish parties and may include photoshopped propoganda, Sesame Street characters, gold shirts, or Bohemian Fruit Festivals. You do NOT want to provoke the people. We will rebel and bring down the Hallowell Regime if necessary!

So.........

**heavy sigh**

With love in our hearts and beebee guns at our sides, we post this declaration in hopes of salvaging the fine reputation of a most beloved Queen and her high court.

Signed,
The People

**roll up parchment and return to dirty thoughts**

I'm back.....Did you miss me!!!!

My computer is feeling much better, thanks to Mom H. I have been very busy since my last post and I know everyone has been bugging me to update it, so here goes. It is now June and Michael and I are on summer break. Ok, maybe just Michael is on summer break. Sciamanna (another director) and I got sucked into running a summer Program for 5 weeks, so most of my summer will consist of Chester Community Charter School. I have also just finished a graduate class at Neumann, so I feel much smarter now!!! I figured it would be just easier to add pictures of what has happened in the last couple of months, instead of writing about it. They say a picture says a thousand words, so here goes......

Michael's 8th Grade Dinner Dance

BLOG UNDER CONSTRUCTION

We are having difficulty with our computer. Will update when the computer is feeling better.

Busy Weekend

WOW!!! What a busy weekend!!!!
It started off on Friday with me going to take pictures of Zachary going to his 10th grade formal dance. He looked so handsome in his black pants, shirt and black and white tie. His date was wearing a zebra print dress and they looked great together. I will add pictures as soon as my dad sends them to me.

Next, I drove to Downingtown to see Michael play in his indoor soccer playoffs. They one the first and second game (which Michael won the game with his goal of course) and went to the championships, but lost that game. It was a tough game but they played great.

Luke's First Birthday

On Saturday we went to the Waas to celebrate Luke's 1st birthday. I can't believe that he is 1 years old already. We all had a great time. Luke I think had the best time because he got to stuff a big piece of chocolate cake in his face and from the look of the pictures I think he did. He received a lot of cute clothes and fun new toys to play with. Michael and Brent spent most of the party putting together Luke's new play-set. They did a great job working together and made Luke very happy.

A New arrival

Roxy has a new cousin and she came to visit today. Kevin's parents recently adopted a new puppy. They named her Annie and she is the cutest Golden Retriever in the world. She had a great time at her cousin's house today. They spent the day running after each other in the backyard. They also had fun wrestling and playing tug-of-war in the living room. Annie was also very interested in her two other cousins Callie and Molly. They weren't to happy with her, but they dealt with it. Annie had a fun filled day here. I know this because both dogs fell asleep together and also Annie slept on the way home.

What Happen to Time........

I am sorry again that I have been lacking on the updates of my family. I just can't seem to find time to edit pictures, and post stories. It has been a little crazy here with my job and my family. Since I have the day off today it is a great opportunity to sit and catch everyone up on what has been going on since Christmas. We will start off with Monica coming out to visit with everyone.

Monica's Return......

I couldn't wait to pick Monica up after work, I didn't realize how much I missed her until I saw her. I had a really bad week of work and it was nice to be able to end it with Monica. She also was able to make me laugh and forget about my worries. As soon as she got in the car it was like she never left me. Our voices came out and our fun began. We decided to go scrapbooking down at the beach with Christina, Crispin, and Dee Dee. Christine was able to get a beautiful house from her friend at work. Thanks Christine for doing that!!!! Let me just say that was the best weekend ever. Christine blew out her tire right before Ocean City. While Christina and I went for help, Crispin and Monica decide to take on the challenge of changing a tire. There was only one person who stopped to help us, after we were almost done.

Then we were on our way to the beach. We spent the first night watching movies and eating A LOT OF JUNK FOOD. Monica also made us shirts that had creative quotes on the back, front and the arm pit. We had so much fun that weekend. We were able to catch up, scrapbook, and just be ourselves. It was hard to say goodbye to my dearest friend, but I knew that she was only a phone call away.

Snow Days....

We had a couple of snowy days here. I of course only had one snow day and one two hour delay. On the other had Michael had numerous days off. If there was one snow flake on the ground the Michael's school would be off. I know that he enjoyed having the days off, and I enjoyed having him off because that meant the shoveling would be done. By the last snow day he was tiring of shoveling and he made the comment that he was done with snow.
