birthday parties and ham at 1 months

today we have yet another birthday party to attend. this makes number 9 since june. and that means we have shelled out close to $200 bucks. i figure we spend close to 20 bucks per kid x 8 and $50 bucks for mike's 17 year old brother nick. yikes! and most are my niece's and nephews. my brothers and sister better be done with all this reproducing is all i have to say. ha! just kidding. really. this time. only because i think they are all done. hee hee

anyway, i decided to get up and start doing those wedding pictures that i took a few weeks back and get them sent off to shutterfly or someplace like that so the couple can print them themselves. not going to do too much with them, just crop mostly. so i must go to work. i will leave you with this picture of me and ham when he was 1 months exactly. {please excuse my whiteness and bushy eyebrows. my female parental wasn't very good at teaching me to be girly}

isn't he the sweetest thing? so while the rest of you were in college for the 3rd year this is what i was doing. hard to believe that was 15 almost 16 years ago.
