The First Meeting.



Aunt Megan with Evan

We got to travel to Pittsburgh this weekend to meet and visit with my new nephew, Evan. He is cuter than cute. He is so tiny and snuggly and smells so yummy. I forgot how tiny babies can be. We had his zero month photo shoot and went to Megan's for dinner. She made us all yummy chicken stuffed shells and let Duke run around the house like a mad man. Unfortunately the weekends go way too fast and we have to make the long drive home tomorrow but we had a fun and relaxing weekend visiting!

Happy Birthday Jack!

Today is my dear husbands birthday. We didn't have much planned for the weekend except for some relaxing time and golf, and basketball, and hockey and Phillies baseball spring training with a little COPS and America's Most Wanted thrown in. He is getting lasagna for dinner and now that it is all made and ready to bake, I feel bad because I really didn't give him an option. Anyway, he did get a cheesecake that we ate last night and I have another cake (that I chose ;-)) ready to go for dessert.
Today is also the first day of spring. It was almost 80 degrees on Friday! It has since gotten colder but it was so nice to be outside without a jacket on. I can't wait for summer. Duke LOVES to play outside and now, regardless of the temperature, that is all he wants to do. So even though it is chilly out today, we bundled up and went out for a little bit. He went to the dr. on Thursday and has croup and wheezing, which he is on a daily breathing treatment for. The dr. said that getting out in the cold air might help his breathing. He is feeling much better today.

Golf?

A bit colder outside today.
Or basketball?
Maybe in a few years.
Still digging.

Evan Douglas Donaldson



Today, our new little nephew, Evan was born! I can't wait to meet him and see how the new Mom and Dad are doing. All seemed to go well for the labor and I am waiting to hear how the delivery was for my sister. It was almost just like little Dukes. About 10 hours of labor and one hour of hard work and out comes a healthy baby boy.

CASHBACK for internet shopping!

I know a lot of my family and friends think I am nuts lately with my 25 lb coupon binder and all my deal sites and coupons conversations but seriously - if I can save a buck, I am going to take advantage of it and share it. In this economy and with gas prices going through the roof, it is worth it to save where you can. SO, here is the latest website I have been saving with. It's Ebates.com.

What you do and ALL you have to do is sign up and shop! When you do your internet shopping through this site you get a percent cashback for your purchases that you can check on your account whenever you want. FOUR times a year they will mail you a check for what you earned. It's that EASY. No strings attached - seriously check it out.

Sometimes they have big deals that will give you up to 50% cashback.

How it works is the participating stores (kohls, walmart, barnes and noble, and thousands more) give this site a percentage of the purchases we make and Ebates give it right back to us, the consumer. You can read all about Ebates on their website.

So check it out - why not get money back for all your purchases.
