On Tuesday, June 1, my UPS man delivered me a bedskirt (not important) and a second box with my newly fixed, cleaned and fabul-ized Nikon D 70. I love thee, I love thee, I love thee.
I am sorry little one that I took your talent for granted, HOWEVER I am back in love with you after the first click. That was all it took.
Here are a few shots, obviously my photography skills are a bit shabby (hey, it's been a while...There are only so many ways to tilt the iPhone). Nikki was in Manual mode, which is code for "I don't know what I'm doing yet," hence the blurry images.
This is our new home in Mid-Missouriland. We decided to spoil our little neglected ones with some new outside things. I know, I know...the violins are out.
Because in the bloodline of Jan Carter, it is illegal to not carry Cheez-its in hand, at all times

Our Baby B had surgery today as well. Here she is, doing quite well, with her Piggy that Daddy brought home for her after the traumatic event (that she may never recover from). The poor nurses today were so sweet, even after B needed Valium to bring the drama back down from Hollywood to Missouri level....B managed to stop screaming, calm herself for a brief moment and softly say "Tank eww" as we exited the building. How proud am I? An actress, yet with grace...who would have thought :)

B with her treasure, H looking daring
Also, the fern to Russell's left is in a gorgeous planter from Aunt Di (our wedd gift). We finally have the perfect place for it, and it holds a fern from my grandfather's funeral in it. Very special to me, each part.

Yes, I have Calla Lillies AND Gerber Daisies in MY FLOWER BED!!! ( it's okay to be a little jealous of their beauty)
Okay, are you ready for the mansion shot???
Yep, there it is...I never thought I would love a house this tiny in all my life, but I must say it is my favorite one yet!! Finally something that feels just like OUR home...is there anything better than that? ( I promise my car isn't actually bigger than our home)
This random, yet adorable blue-eyed little boy keeps ending up in all of my pictures
Because birdies (and racoons alike) enjoy the flavor Nabisco offers...what can I say, he loves to share
Russ actually made this cross decades ago (alright, alright maybe just one decade ago) but we snagged in when we were home in La...and the above photo of the birdfeeder he made with his Dad, I believe
Duh, we brought our SAINTS Pride (and enormous flag)
Our back pad
The best thing we ever bought (and spent 8 days building)
There's that kid again (where is his Mom??)...and, he brought a friend. Hopefully he brought a potty bag for furry.
My cozy piece of happiness!
Well, there it is..the outside anyway. Soon I will post the inside (haha!)
And, I must say, to all of you (6 people) that do read my blog, not one of you enjoyed the Swagger Wagon video as I did expect. You know, sometimes it is OKAY to admit white people trying to be gangsta is quite comedic. Embrace it guys. We whitey tighties have no chance in hell in ever pulling that one off :)
I lmao everytime I re-watch it, and just so you know, Me and Alyssa sing it to each other. Yep, It's true--the queen of White loves it, now I'm just waiting on you others to fess up.
