I am so excited your gonna join me Friday, can't wait to see what your projects gonna be. I just know this will be so much fun and I'm tickled pink your gonna be there for my first one. Hugs, Rosemarie
Hi Janie! I am so glad you joined us today...woo hoo!!!
I didn't realize that you have a daugther named Abby, too! How neat is that? Your daughters look very intent on getting their jobs done...that's a GOOD sign! I love that you say blogging comes FIRST...that's how it is at my house, more often than not!
I enjoyed taking a look at your family busily working away...wait, does blogging count as WORK? Well, you do have to work your fingers to the bone typing all those keys! I say YES!!! :)
What cute pictures, your daughters are cuties! And Milo, you already know that I think he's one of the cutest little pups I've ever seen. And just look at you, working away so we'll all have something fun to read in the morning! Silly laundry, Janie has more important things to do lol. Kathy
Happy Foto Friday. Everyone looks so hard at work expecially you Blondie. I love how we gals do what's most important to us first, then do the laundry. Love your assistant!! BTW that Target cart escalator is fabulous. I have never seen anything like it. Love Claudie xoxo I do not use my blogger acc therefore: claudie.frid.com
Hi Janie :) It's fun to see photos of your family. My son is the same as your Emily - he likes to have commotion. It helps him concentrate better! lol And fun that you put a photo of yourself in there blogging, too. :) Hope you have a great weekend!
A good feeling when everyone is busy at something in the house. I especially love it when all is quiet and everyone is reading, on the computer, writing...good for the mind.
Thanks for sharing you and your girls and the doggies with us!

Hi Janie! Thanks for all your sweet comments and blog love. I enjoyed your photos. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a great weekend!!
So glad you stopped by for a visit with SPRING! Now remember us this summer when we are cooking down here & send a little "cool" love to us. :) Cute photos of you & the girls. I have all boys. Isn't that funny how it works out sometimes. And yes, the laundry pile over took me today. I had to charge in there & show it who was boss.
Hello Blondi, Love your photos today,Both girls looked so intent on getting their work done,just by looking at the photos I get a real warm feeling about your home. And Milo fantabulous dog. I agree first things first....I am trying to catch up laundry and blog tonight, guess who is getting the most attention? Thanks for stopping by I always enjoy your visits. Blessings, Sue
Janie, Your photos of everyone are wonderful candid shots. No one posing here. Awesome and fun post. You have a wonderful family accomplishing important things, except maybe the dog, he is just a cutie adding to the mix.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I liked reading your post. It looks like everyone was busily working away! I love the color of your kitchen walls by the way. I picked the WRONG shade of green when I had mine done. I'm thinking of trying again this spring :)

you are so right.great post.keep up the good work.welcome,it's so good to have you with us..ann
Hey girl! I just saw your comment and thought I'd visit ya before I hit the sack!
How are you? I was laughing at your picture with you at your laptop with a drink beside it. My husband took the exact same picture of me two weeks ago!LOL!
Janie, I love seeing all of you girls and Milo in action! :-) I'm running like a greyhound after a rabbit, and I wanted to drop by and leave a little love note for you. Hope you're having a great weekend. Sending much love your way, my sweet friend...
Oh, I love this post, it looks so inviting. Your daughter and I would get along great, my favorite place to work is in the kitchen which drives everyone nuts. Having said that, I also have messed up the dining room table and now I am beginning to take over the family room with started projects and paint boxes. Your home looks great. Laundry...one of my closest friends used to wait so long that on laundry day the kids were walking around in their bathing suits, because there was nothing else to wear. P.S. her home was the most fun place to be! Karen
Welcome to Friday's Favorite Family Foto! Don't worry about the laundry. I have some clothes piled on my dining room table right now. Blogging's more fun anyway!

Lovely family at work. I enjoyed your pictures. Charlotte
I noticed your comment at Amongst the Oaks about loading pictures and writing text. I have discovered that if you hit the space bar instead of a click or enter the picture moves down and you can get the cursor above the picture to start your text before the picture. I happened on that by accident one day. Hope that helps.
You and your daughters are darling and from the looks of concentration everyone is enjoying their homework, reading, designing and and spreading some blogging Love. I appreciate your visits and wonderful sweet comments.:-)
Remember laundry always waits:) & So do dishes:) Important things FIRST!
The weekends come and gone. Hope you have a great week. Hugs

[Image] Today is Friday's Favorite Family Foto's hosted by Deborah at Pictures, Pots and Pens. This is my first time participating and I look forward to doing so again because if there is anything I love more, it is family! :-)
Last Friday was a very strange day at Blondie's house. For some reason we girls were all working away, humming away as it were, at the same time. Emily, love of my life and firstborn daughter, was hard at work on her design for a commercial office space for her interior design course. She is in her second of four years. This particular project is difficult, she is doing the layout of an office from the cubicles to the lighting and electrical wiring. Heavy stuff! I have contemplated getting her a drafting table but she really prefers to do her work in the kitchen surrounded by a lot of commotion for some strange reason. Our house is always full of that so I guess there is no escaping. Poor kid.
[Image] Abby was hard at work on her homework. I was surprised that she sat down to do it instead of taking her usual nap. Notice Layla curled up between her legs. Layla is Abby's nap buddy and isn't going to let a little homework get in the way! By the way, Abby did scamper away after this for a little snooze!
[Image] And here is Blondie hard at work. On what? Blogging of course! Don't mind the laundry pile by the top of the stairs. I'll get around to that sooner or later. First things first!!!
[Image] Finally, we have to get Milo in here. What would a post be without my boy getting in on the action! Notice my dogs have full reign of the furniture in the house. Yes, even the kitchen table! I hope you visit Deborah and see what all the other gals have to offer today. Family photo's are the best. They make us proud. Today I'm hoping for tomorrows good grades! xoxoJanie
