Happy Birthday to the Joplin side of the family!

March is a big birthday month for our family. First off - on March 15 - is the twins birthday. I've already noted they turned 17 last Saturday. Then on the 17th - we have our sister-in-law's - or is that sister's-in-law? - Sandy, my brother Terry's wife, and Debbie, Corby's brother Doug's wife. On the 19th we have Doug's birthday (Happy Birthday Doug!) and this Friday the 21st is our niece Megan's 22nd birthday! Happy Birthday Megan! We also have our nephew Cory's 18th birthday on the 25th! Now you see why I call it a big birthday month? I have several friend's birthdays this month too - so all in all - March is not only St. Patrick's Day month for us, but "wild birthday" month!

Are you all ready for the NCAA Tournament? Today we pressed the NCAA Big Dance section that is going to be in the paper on Thursday. I was pretty darn thrilled that the front page was a big photo of Michael Beasley with a purple headline! GO K-STATE! I have to be realistic though. I imagine KU will go much further than K-State, but one can always dream!

I haven't done a quote of the day in a while so here goes: "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today." -- Franklin D. Roosevelt

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
