In Memory of Grandma Pudge: 12/26/28-3/16/2009

Chuck's Mom, Helen, "My friends call me Pudge," Hoffman was known as Grandma Pudge in our house. She spent time with us and the kids knew she was special.

More March

I'm not much for designing these postings. I just add the photos so I can bring them up at work whenever I want to look at the family!!! Chuck has been working from 4am to 4pm for the last two weeks--plus 8 more hours on Saturdays--note the common nap in the chair while pretending to watch The Wild, Hell's Kitchen, Timberwolves, or the Gophers.

March 2009

It's been a long and busy winter. We enjoy seeing Chris around as he is now working back at Epiphany full time and looking for some theatre gigs. He is looking into an internship at the Children's Theatre--it's a non paid internship, but it would be nice to get in somewhere. After the little ones went to sleep we enjoyed some ice cream and brownies--we conserved water by not using dishes!



I figure we won't get many more of these photos of the kids cuddling together!




Our recent snowfall and snow day was spent playing in the snow around the house. Mitchell helped me shovel and Maria snuck around to the back yard to swing! It was so bright with the white snow and the sun shining that afternoon.









Mama and Maria are T-I-R-E-D!










"I'm Batman...I have a cape," says Maria.
"Mitchell, who are you?" I ask. He responds,
"I'm SuperMan!"
"What are you doing?"
"Saaaaviiing Aaaanimals!"

February 2009

I just tried to down load some new photos and realized I haven't added them to the computer from my camera yet. Good news about that is that it either means we were so busy I didn't have time to download them, OR nothing new was happening--either one works for me! Hopefully soon I'll get on that.
