My Nutty Nieces (July 10, 2008)
How easy is it to get 7 nieces to pose for a picture? Look at the number of my nutty nieces in the following pic While I didn’t get tons of pictures, I was able to spend a few minutes with each of them. Tracy and Stacy sat with me to learn to crochet. I…

The Probability, Part 2 (July 9, 2008)
So what would be the probability of significant events occurring on the same date over the course of several years? I’d be curious to hear the Kennedys answer to that. And if you would have asked my extended family that question 6 years ago, they’d probably have answered in the single-digit percentages. But then 2003…

They Won’t Post (July 9, 2008)
The boys were SO excited about blogging themselves before the trip. Somewhere along the way, they decided that living the adventure was more exciting that writing about it. So if you’re wondering why it’s all me, that’s why. And Henry says he doesn’t know where to start, so he’s not posting either. You all are…

The Birthday Party (July 9, 2008)
Henry’s birthday was a humble but fun celebration. He got celebratory singing, a John Deere cake with butter pecan ice cream (nummy!), and a can of boiled peanuts!! The picture is of him working to read his card from J. It was a card of Barack Obama that was set to the tune of the…

The Probability, Part 1 (July 8, 2008)
Do you recall the probability and permutations part of math class? I didn’t like that part. You know why? Because it just made the possibility of my being singled out seem so impossible. The good news is that Jesus Christ would have gone to the cross to pay for my sins if I were the…

Happy Birthday Henry! (July 6, 2008)
Yup, July 6th, a day of significance to the extended Pressley family is also the date of my husband’s birth. I’m going to put a picture from his party in here. Unfortunately, I am wiped tired, so I’ll post it tomorrow. For now, I must sleep. We spent the whole day at church, eating, playing,…

Don’t Forget Chicago (July 5, 2008)
We hadn’t quite gotten into the flow of uploading the pictures on our first stop, which was to see our grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins in Chicago. We visited the Museum of Science and Industry on Sunday with cousin T and his folks and Granddad. We have yet to determine who has more fun on…

Seeing the Sarge (July 5, 2008)
We had a fairly relaxed morning on Saturday. So much so that we had to rush our packing and departure to keep from getting charged an extra night. The capital of South Carolina, Columbia, is also home to Henry’s collegiate alma mater. Were it not for one of his mentors, Stanley McGraw, my husband says…

The Rest of DC (July 5, 2008)
The one variable I didn’t factor into our travels was the time necessary to transfer and upload the pictures for the blog. But I just simply must find a time to do it; easier to do that than to find the time to tell everyone individually about our exploits. With that said, this post is…

Resting from DC (July 5, 2008)
Walking the mall between the metro’s Foggy Bottom and L’Enfant Plaza stations definitely took its toll on us all. It was that night that we enjoyed the company of the Clark family. Needless to say, we were all worn out. G awakened with me, despite my best efforts to sneak out of the bed. Emerging…

We Met Online (July 5, 2008)
Ever asked a couple how they met and the reply is, “Oh, we met online.” I’ve heard it more than once. I even know a couple met online and each of their best friends came on their first date. The friends ended up hitting it off, too. And BOTH couples got married over the next…

Carowinds (July 5, 2008)
We had to leave our picnic time with our friends when The Call came in. Sis Annette informed us that they had arrived at Carowinds and it was time to join them at the amusement park. We strolled into the Charlotte attraction early afternoon, and joined our relatives back in the water park. Seeing his…
