whew!

okay-catching up on life at Casa Harrison just might do me in-here goes!

Mom and Dad come on Tuesday for 6 weeks!
Hip
Hip
HOORAY!

We haven't seem them since we left the States last August.
They will be here for 6 wonderful weeks...
They will be here for our 15th anniversary.
They will be here for my 40th birthday.
They will be here for Spring Break in Germany,Austria, and the Alsace (?) region of France...

They will be here for Team Leader's back surgery.

yup.
You read right.

back surgery...serious surgery, but in the hands of a professional and not the burned out military doctors who might not BE trauma surgeons, should be a good thing.

He's having the surgery on the economy (in Heidelberg).
I trust his surgeon, who took the time on Valentine's Day, to walk me through the entire procedure...with pictures. I'm glad that we'll have the support of my parents, physically right here to hand hold, because every little bit helps.

Let's see...other interesting news...
3 friends had babies/became grandparents/or became aunties!
Hugs and Love go out to:

"evansen"
"kameron"
and
"jayden"

ALL BOYS!

What else...
I finished my Switzerland quilt block AND my Poland quilt block.
Yay me!
(Pictures will follow-I swear.)
Next month (b/c we are skipping April due to holidays) we will make France!

Work news...
I rearranged my classroom last Friday-kiddos have NO idea and will walk in tomorrow to the devestation and havoc that only one naughty Leprechaun ("Coughlin McSmiley") can create.
I'm getting ready to wrap their potatoes as soon as I'm finished with this post.

40 issues...
I have all the songs just about ready for my "Lyrical Round" 40th Birthday CD scrapbook collection! (Whoa, mouthful!)
I have the paper, I have the chipboard accents, I have the stickers, I have the mailing box...now I need to put it all together. I don't expect to have it back before the Fall, but the idea of knowing it's out there-
out there being made-
being made by folks who I love
folks who I love and love me back-
I can hardly keep from jumping up and down!

And now, I'm rambling, and I know it!
Happy St Paddy's day-almost-

umarmen und lieben, everyone!

Glad to hear that your family is coming for a visit - especially since TL is having surgery. I hope it goes well and he's given great drugs..lol

J,
You crack me up!
I'm actually really looking forward to TL mellowing out, and relaxing...really relaxing, for the first time!
I'm sure the next 6 weeks of posting will be very funny...knowing my group, we're bound to have some good stories to tell!

Things don't sound boring on your end. At the risk of you defriending me, when exactly is your birthday? Hope things with the visit and surgery turn out well!
