Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year Zeta Phi Omega! It is really amazing to think that 2006 is here. The ZPO's really made good use of the last year seeing that we have had babies, a wedding an engagement and many many wonderful nights out with the girls!! I just don't know what I would ever do without you all and the joy you bring into my life!

Anyways, it was a great year and we sent it out with a bang. I am sad to say that my camera is having some problem's reading Rhi's memory card, so the pic's and entire party review will be coming in the next few days. Don't worry...the pic's are there, it is just that my old dinosaur of a digital camera cannot see them correctly. Here is one teaser pic from early in the party before we used the card. I Hope everyone has a wonderful day to start the best year ever!

Wes Hangin' Out at Home!

Our Wesley is finally home! Boo and I wet out to see him yesterday, and I cannot help but show off how cute he is!

A true testament to how small he is....look at how big my boob looks...yes...it might be my arm, but a girl can dream

Boo, Liz and Wes hanging out

Me and Wes...can't you tell how much he loves me in this picture...I can see it

The family finally all home together!!

Wes...Gangster for life!

This is from earlier in the day, but it is his first bath!!

Apartment Life

Hello all! As Candice and I are hanging out together over Christmas break several amusing things have happened and we felt that you should know... First Candice was chilly last night so she decided to wear a toboggan all night...That's right a toboggan, in the house! Anyway clearly this had to be made fun of so pictures were taken. Then in an effort to make her toboggan more appropriate she donned a hoodie and thus the tribute to Eminem began. Clearly you are all jealous that you don't live here with us :-)

My Name Is....

You wanna mess with me!

Ode to Rhiannon

Oh, Rhiannon, how great you are! I was talking to Liz today and she was just telling me how much it meant to her that you were willing to drop everything to be there for her and Cory to watch Scout. They knew they had nothing to worry about while you were there! It is so wonderful to have friends that are always there for you and that you can trust in. Thanks for making it a little easier to bring Wes home!

Also, from what I hear, several of our ZPO's had an amazing night at the Dame. Rhi was picked up and may have a date for New Years, Candice's number somehow ended up in the bartender's pocket, and some stranger on the street told Boo she was beautiful...can't beat that for a Tuesday night out!

Random Updates

So, I just thought I would give a few updates because...well, I am a little bored and don't have anything else to do. Wes is now at home! Liz and Cory are so excited. He seems to have his sleeping schedule a little backwards, and wants to stay up all night and sleep all day, but besides that everything is wonderful!! I will have pictures of him hanging at his house later in the week.

Candice is doing really well from her surgery. Her scabs are just starting to come off, but all in all it has gone as easily as you could hope. She does seem to have a little virus right now, so that sucks....back to work on Thursday sucks more.

Missy is busy packing. She is moving in with Boo and Chris over this week, then starting school after the first of the year. We all hate to move, but it will be so great once she is in a settled!

Boo and Chris are getting ready for the New Years Eve Party. Everyone has to be there because, well, it is going to be the coolest party in town!

Charing made it through the night of dog sitting for the neighbor....thank goodness. For the record, it was a lab, and although it was eight weeks old(and the same size and her five year old poodle), it has a bark that could be heard a mile away. The kids had a great Christmas and are loving being out of school.

Rhi is also loving being out of school! She was evacuated from her apartment at five in the morning for a fire, but besides that the break is flawless!


I am doing nothing (clearly by this post). I am going out of town for work next week, so there may be little to no posting going on...or more likely, if I have access to a computer there will be many random posts such as this one...alone in Moorehead...kill me know.

On a totally different subject, did any of you notice that the options on the poll are different than the results?? If you are wondering why, it is because I am a fool. Speaking is not one of you five senses. I tried to change it, but it only did it on the poll, not in the results. fool. so...basically, if you vote for taste, it will show up in the results as speaking. I know none of my ZPO's would ever give up speaking!


As of now, we do not have a January zeta phi omega meeting set. I was figuring we would give our newest mama a chance to get settled and see what she is able to do, or if she needs to miss this month. I figure we will have something decided in the next week or two. If anyone has any idea's floating around in their head, by all means let the rest of us know!

The South Carolina Crew

Nick, Chris, Candice and I spend the last few days with the family in South Carolina. It was a wonderful trip and so great to spend time with everyone. We did way to much eating(...yummm....fudge and christmas cookies and heavenly ham....), played games and had an all around blast. Here is a family photo we shot at Christmas dinner!

Tomorrow is the Big Day!!

Our sweet baby Wesley is finally getting to come home! Liz and Cory are spending the night at the hospital to do a test run and he is coming home in the morning! We are all so excited to get him out of the NICU and home into his own bed with his family! Liz, everyone is so excited and we just cannot wait to see him!

It's Christmas!!

Merry Merry Christmas Zeta Phi Omega! I know we are all busy with family today, but I just wanted to take a second to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope that it is the best ever!! To add a little holiday cheer, here is a Christmas picture of Wes. Looks like he will be coming home on Wednesday!!

Friend Christmas Dinner

Last night was our annual Friend Christmas party and it was so wonderful!!! Now, I know many of you might be thinking that I have lost my mind because we had our Christmas party a few weeks ago, but this is Friend Christmas, not ZPO Christmas...the main difference being that we let other people come!

Well, this is the first year that we decided to not bring gifts for everyone, and instead to let our love (which is clearly free) be gifts enough! The party was a Boo and Chris's house and was so wonderful! We set up a huge table for all 15 of us in the dining room....okay, it was three tables of various heights pushed together, but it worked out perfectly! All the girls brought wonderful food and we had a full fledge Christmas dinner.

It is amazing how with all of our busy schedules so many of us were able to make it. Candice came, only six days post surgery (and brought muffins!!! Amazing!) Charing was there with Morgan, Zack and Carter. Damn, that boy is popular! I think any one of us would take him home in a heart beat! Whit came, which was so wonderful, plus Missy finally had a night off work to spend with us! Nearly everyone was there!

The night was nearly perfect. Almost all of our friends were able to make it, but we were sadly missing Liz and Cory, who spent the evening with Wes, JC and Evie who thought it better to keep the two week old at home, Big Scott, who had to work (poor Scott) and Alyssa, who was with her mom this week, and could not make it. Besides that everyone was there and it was so much fun. We had a wonderful meal, tons of laughs, lots of wine and made lots of great memories. It could not have been any better! Merry Christmas everyone!

Morgan and Zack haning out at Friend Christmas

Could he be any more adorable?!?!

Oh, the Love...

Okay, okay...so I might be a little bit bias, but could my Godson (right, right...and Liz's son) be any more adorable??? I am thinking the answer is a clear "No". I just cannot believe how big he is getting and how great he looks! Just so everyone knows, Wesley is now up to Four pounds! They have taken the feeding tube out because he is totally capable of eating on his own and has no need for their stupid tube. He is so smart....just look at him laying there....dreaming about coming home!! Keep an eye out for his coming home announcement around the New Year!
