Grandma's visit to Virginia

We had so much fun with my mom. She got to stay for over 2 weeks, it was great!

The weekend of my Birthday, we got a sitter and Doug was supposed to take me out to dinner and a movie. The dinner part happened, but after dinner he took me over to my friend Carmen's house, and Doug and I got to hang out with them for the evening, IT WAS GREAT!! I had been wanting to spend some quality time with my friend Carmen for quite some time, but with her schedule(she home schools too) and mine it was unlikely to happen. Anyway, we didnt take pics of that, but on Saturday, Doug surprised me again by inviting my other friends(Tabitha and Courtney) to a lunch out he planned, as well as the couple whose daughter I babysit. We had a great time there as well, and of course, Doug was the photographer!

Before and After...

With Jan, my stylist, who did the honors...

Me and My Girls

So, I turned the BIG 30 this year (May 13th) and I wanted to do something I hadn't done in a while, a very long while, so I got bangs. Turns out its been more almost 15 years since I've had them and had been putting this idea off for years, coming up with one excuse or another. So, I decided it was time!! So that's what happened on my actual Birthday. Doug and the girls also took me out to dinner(had a BOGO coupon, of course) and then back to the house for cake, just the four of us, it was nice and relaxing....Then the weekend came, and Doug had a few surprises for me. I'll add more later!Its taking me long enough(over 2 hours) to get these photos downloaded and put in the correct order, yikes!Looks like I need to take a class on this whole blogging thing.

Here are just a few more pics from Mother's Day, in addition to the ones below,ENJOY!!

For Mother's Day we went to church, and then to Macarther Center in Norfolk, Va. The girls spent some time at the newly renovated indoor play area, and they both loved it. It was another beautiful day, so we got some nice pictures outside our house and church too. Hope everyone had a good Mothers Day!! Karen

Hello Everyone! We hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. We had a relaxing time with just our family this year. It was nice! Katie's highlight was going on an "Easter egg hunt"after church. Each egg has change, candy, and Bible verses inside. She loved it! It was a gorgous day today so we all spent plenty of time out in the yard. On a side note, Kallie took her first 6 steps the other day(yes, 6, she didnt bother with just one or two) And then today, she broke the record with 9!

Okay, the Meyer family is finally catching up to the rest of you techno geeks (and you know who you are) and giving this whole blog thing a try. Never mind that we are behind the times and use our email and that thing called a cell phone to communicate.

I guess I will start by attempting to set up pictures from our recent trip to Richmond. And for those of you who don't know already, yes, we are still here in Virgina... and MIA in Ca... for now. I guess time will tell if we ever make it back home Karen
