CONGRATULATONS, Corinne!

Wow! You deserve this great opportunity and you are going to kick butt! We are very proud of you and happy for you. When do you start? I'll give you a call but wanted to make an official entry about it here... you rock!

Can't wait to see you all

Still have to shop and clean but looking forward to seeing you all - hope Amber and Cody's travel plans are not interrupted by the bad weather in the middle of the country.

Next year we have to all be together for at least Christmas - Emma and James, too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!

On Dec. 19th in history:

Elvis Presley drafted (1957)
Last Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost rolls off the line (1924)
Continental Army enters winter camp at Valley Forge (1777)

Mom and Dad!

Hey, I am ordering various Christmas presents online that are being shipped directly to La Casa De Hescock. So please don't open any of the packages even though they are addressed to Mom! Love you and can't wait to visit!

photo update

hello! hope you all had a pleasant weekend... wanted to update you on the photo situation.

WEDDING PHOTOS
we've been working on making these available for more than SIX HOURS today. ugh. we sorted the 6,000 photos down to 721 and are trying to upload them to the kodak easy share gallery website so that everyone can check them out. however, that is apparently going to take a couple days because the pictures are HUGE, thus the upload speed is very SLOW. each online album can only hold a couple hundred photos, so we're creating multiple albums. i'll send you links as they are completed...

HONEYMOON PHOTOS
Because we don't have a ton and they aren't huge files, I quickly uploaded our honeymoon photos to flickr.com. Click here to check them out!

RANDOM HOLIDAY PHOTO
Here is a shot of one of our ornaments. It reminds us of Corinne and her nutcracker collection!

Yeah - I am in!

I would like a photo of you girls since you are now finally all out of braces also, one of you girls, Cody, Colin and James.

Knowing that this will never happen...

Wallet
Cookbook - you can never have too many
Golf jacket
ear rings
Wedding photo of the "fam" for the silver frame Cody and Amber gave us

Other than that just having you guys visit is gift enough -

What about Mom?

She needs to get a list on here, she is the only one I am not sure what to get at this point!

Side Note!

Has anyone noticed I use ALOT of exclamation points when I email? I love using exclamation points don't you!!!!!!!!!!! (for those of you who read Amber's letter from Bev:) But seriously I really do!

address

Amber is it possible for mom and i to have the same email address and and for mom to join the blog. when she tried to set up her account it would not let her because i already had the a1e2c3 address?

What i want for christmas after all it's all about me

I saw this thing on tv by conair it goes on a shave cream can and heats the shave cream as it comes out, i hate getting out of a hot shower and putting cold shave cream on my face.
this one is pricey $50, a radio-control bladerunner helicopter, #748566 @ discovery store .com
I also saw a metal sign for my garage at www.ruckusrods.com, cool55 (its a 55 hardtop with flames injection tubes thru the hood. Oh Yea I also want peace and love for all the world.

Mater remote control truck - On Sale 1/2 price at toys r us
Snow suit/snow pants
winter boots - size 8
Camera - I think corinne is getting
Leap frog or v-tech computer set up that hooks up to TV
Movies: curious george
Tool bench
Arts & crafts things we could do together - paints etc.

Let me know if you have any questions!!!

AMBER

Hi
So I am still stumped on what to get you, what would you like? And Cody?

Really Odd

Amber
I just found your High School ring in my desk drawer at work, no clue how it got there or why!? Very strange!

hey

what do mom and dad want?

i am now thinking that i would like to buy a macbook computer since i will likely have to give up my brooks laptop early next year. so maybe contributions toward that would be good.

For Moi

Even though I think you guys already know what you are getting me, I will fire off a couple things, my b-day ain't far behind:)
wallet
clothes
the book, "PostSecret"
