Moving to another blog...sorry

I've had so much trouble with this site...it saddens me to have to move (again). I keep getting booted off, so I'm done.

Thanks

I have the GREATEST husband


To honor and support a dear friend, who has breast cancer and is currently going through chemo, dh and the boys cut their hair off. I thought they'd be happy with a short short buzz cut, but dh wanted to go "all out for Dawn." He is such a stud and a sweetheart! I'm so proud of my boys and the love they have for our friend.

Having a hard time

With this site...everytime I get on it, the site "aborts" any actions. Starting to get on my nerves, a bit. I may have to change it to another server.

Anyone else having problems?

Boo's newest addition

Lookie what we found ;).....He is safely in a terrarium and we are fixing to dig up some worms to feed it. It was hidden under some shingles and I must say, B almost wet his pants when he saw it. It is the same snake that our neighbor gave us and it escaped...well, recaptured later, we are going to study it and then release it. It isn't meant to be handled too much. It has a very twitchy personality and gets stressed easily. It is a Southern Ring Necked Snake. Love it ;)

Hebrew Names

I have a friend who strickly uses her Hebrew names on her blog...for protection of her kids. I was curious to see what our names are. If I could be so disciplined, I'd like to use their Hebrew names instead of their nicknames, but I don't know how well I will remember them ;)

Me: Tzipora “Bird”

B: Dagan “Grain”

Bug: Daphna “Laurel Tree”

Peach: Malka “Queen”

Boo: Noach “Rest, Comfort”

G: Chana “Favour, Grace”

Catfish: Daniel “God is my Judge”
