Thursday was my Mom's birthday. It was nice to be able to celebrate her birthday before she and my Dad returned to Ecuador. They were here for three weeks, but it went by in a ... http://neumannhaus.com/lisa/blog/?p=134 Hi everyone! Did you think I disappeared off the face of the earth? No? Well, can't say I'm surprised.

This month has sped by. Today we had a baby shower for my sister-in-law who is visiting from Indiana. She is due in February. It will be my first niece/nephew! (they're keeping it a secret) It wasn't a big party just my Mother-in-law, ... http://neumannhaus.com/lisa/blog/?p=123 Today I feel like I really didn't do much of anything.
