It's been a while...

Sorry for such a delay. I have been busier than ever and have found no time for blogging. I'm hoping to change that -- especially after my craft show on the 4th.

On that note, here are a few random items:

* I'll be participating in a craft show called Spring Fling on Saturday, April 4 from noon to 7 p.m. There will be about 20 vendors and it's being held at a new pool hall in Ferndale called The Loving Touch (it used to be a massage place and they kept the name).

There will be some folks playing tunes (DJing, not playing live) all day, including Daniel from noon to 2.

It's owned by the same folks who own nearby Emory and the Woodward Avenue Brewery, which is next door. It's free to get in, so come on by for a beer, to browse goods from some great artists and then you can walk across the street to downtown Ferndale if you like.



There's a complete list of vendor's on the event's Myspace page HERE.

* Sarah is having foot surgery tomorrow -- getting the other one done (the first was in '07). Let's send some good wishes her way tomorrow and some even better wishes to her nanny who will largely be flying solo for the next two weeks while mom is off her feet. :)

* I'm going to update the Badias Family Shutterfly account with February photos, which include Lucas's third birthday festivities. You can check it out HERE. The password is Sarah. I should have them up by this afternoon. Having login issues at the moment.



* There's a new show on Saturday and Sunday afternoons down here called "Essential Music" on WDET (the NPR station), and they put a call out for a new theme song. I encourage Dan to throw is hat in the ring and he's one of 58 songs open to listener voting. Click HERE now and vote for number 7!!!

* We're trying to orchestrate a Tigers game for Dan's family, followed by a birthday party for Claire (and likely others), maybe on Sunday, May 24. Dan's family will only consist of a handful of people and I'm going to open the invite to all of you. Once we track down the date (since Dan's family will be coming from Ohio) I'll e-mail everyone if they would like to come down for some baseball, cake and ice cream!

Man Hands

Just thought I would share a little video Claire (and Dan!) sent me when I was working Tuesday night!

Joe Buys: Crime Scene Investigator


Well, not exactly. But here's a shot of Joe all suited up as a cop to be on CSI: NY.

The episode is called Past, Present, and Murder and will be on at 10 p.m. some Wednesday -- keep an eye out for it!

Tiny Dancer

Actually, if you look at these pictures, you'll see Claire is not the tiniest of dancers compared to some of her dance classmates who she towers over. But she's still pretty damn cute.

Dan and I were front and center watching her third-ever dance class with teacher Miss Elizabeth and about 20 other kids at the Borgo School of Dance near our house. As you can see from the pictures, she's got pretty good form -- far better than many of her classmates! (Not that I'm biased.)

Kids other than the Baidas boys!


I can't help but overload this blog with Lucas and Anthony -- I need some contributions! (No, I will never stop harping on you all about this!)

Send me some stuff from time to time -- vacation pics, sports pics, funny stories, movie reviews, jokes, updates -- whatever you want!

Here are some pics of Miles and Jude that I poached from the Gregory family Snapfish account!

Stay tuned for the adventures of Miles and Maggie in Sarah's neighborhood!

My favorite quote from Lucas and Miles playing together (other than when they were -- literally -- screaming at each other because Lucas wanted Miles to come downstairs and Miles wanted Lucas to come up) was when Maggie asked if Lucas and Miles needed help with something and Miles said, "We're working together!"

Frosting cookies with Gigi

Gigi brought some V-day cookies for Lucas to frost -- and decided to introduce Anthony to his first frosting while Mama was at the store...

In Gigi's words, "It won't hurt anything."
