We celebrated Thanksgiving Day with a great dinner at Larry & Connie's. The food was great and overall we had an entertaining evening - it's getting hard to keep with with all the kids!

Mom had a reception for Terry & Kim to celebrate their recent wedding

We celebrated Lisa's birthday at Nonna Emilia's

Mother's Day was nice and laid-back. We went over to Connie & Larry's and Mom came over, Dan, Lisa & the kids, as did the newlyweds Renee and David.

on Friday afternoon before ths wedding, the Bridesmaid's & Mom's had a luncheon for Renee at Sal's Kitchen on NW 23rd.

We had a small party for Angie as she celebrates her 4X birthday. While Angie received some great presents, Lisa passed out some goodies for the gals that were the hit of the afternoon.

Once again, Mom cooked up a great Thanksgiving dinner. Needless to say, everyone went home with several containers of leftovers. Renee and David went to NYC and spent Thanksgiving dinner with Ryan, who also met up with Jenni and several other friends and family.

The Ode to Katrina - the Windy Lass From The Gulf
New Lyrics by Scott Leverenz
Sung By Walter Brennan



In two thousand five Katrina took a trip
She came thru New Orleans and the State of Mississip
She brought a lot of water and she brought a lot of wind,
The force of her anger wouldn't think of a rescind

We laid down the sandbags and the water kept a comin'
There's a whole lot more than there was an hour ago
We laid down more sandbags and the water kept a runnin'
Comin from the Lake and the Gulf of Mexico

Well we looked down the river and seen the water come
We headed for the high ground like the beating of a drum
We jumped so high that we landed on the roof
Da fact that we're sittin' here is all you need in proof

We laid down the sandbags and the water kept a comin'
There's a whole lot more than there was an hour ago
We laid down more sandbags and the water kept a runnin'
Comin from the Lake and the Gulf of Mexico

The weatherman had warned us that the winds had sallied-forth
And it wasn't very long before Ka-trina headed north
We prayed like hell that the levees they would hold
Knew that they mightn't - they was sure was old as .... Well...

We laid down the sandbags and the water kept a comin'
There's a whole lot more than there was an hour ago
We laid down more sandbags and the water kept a runnin'
Comin from the Lake and the Gulf of Mexico

Well... we ran out of food and we ran out of power
And we laid down to sleep where Paris Hilton wouldn't go
And we ran from the looters and we ran for the buses
Yeah we ran from New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico

We stayed on that roof until someone helped us down
Sure glad they got us - at least we hadn't drowned.
The chopper came and got us in a coordinated whoosh
I can't blame Katrina - I'll blame it all on BUSH!

We laid down the sandbags and the water kept a comin'
There's a whole lot more than there was an hour ago
We laid down more sandbags and the water kept a runnin'
Comin from the Lake and the Gulf of Mexico

Well... we ran out of food and we ran out of power
And we laid down to sleep where Paris Hilton wouldn't go
And we ran from the looters and we ran for the buses
Yeah we ran from New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico
