A Friend hits the local news…
Posted on August 18, 2008, under Uncategorized.
So, I get an email from one of my other friends back in PA and then a text message from my sister that a best friend that I grew up with in good ‘ole Punxsutawney has hit the news in The Punxsutawney Spirit. Excellent article about a recent conference he attended in Paris in which he presented a paper…

Another Webkinz update….
Posted on August 17, 2008, under Uncategorized.
Allright,
So today, we went out today and bought Two more Webkinz for the girls.. (Sure, we say it’s for the girls, but we just wanted to have more virtual pets ourselves… LOL)
Mia got a Beagle (That Dad’s taking care of in his virtual world) and she got a purse to hold him in.
Hannah got a Pink Frog (That Mom’s taking care of in her virtual world) and she got a wedding dress (don’t ask?!?) outfit for it.
Total Webkinz count:
Sara - 2
Ed - 2
Webkinz Update….
Posted on August 15, 2008, under Uncategorized.
Okay,
I got jealous of Sara’s Webkinz and had to go out an buy my own….
So, I bought an elephant…
Here’s what Edephant looks like virtually (Yea, I named my elephant Edephant)
This is becoming really addictive… I’m not getting anything else done around the house…
Ruby is fixed!! Hooray!
Posted on August 14, 2008, under Uncategorized.
Wow! The cobwebs and dust balls were really starting to pile up at the house without Ruby in service. Ruby, is our Roomba. God bless her!!
She had an accident a couple of weeks ago and stripped some of her gears in her one wheel. But, a little bit of research, some extra parts ordered off the Internet, and a good hacking guide on how to rip her apart, she is good as new!!
Here’s a good picture of Hannah letting her WebKinz take a free ride on Ruby while she’s cleaning…
Webkinz have invaded our house… HELP!!
Posted on August 12, 2008, under Uncategorized.
Holy Crap!
Webkinz have finally invaded our house… and… well…. It’s pretty cool! I think that Sara and I are having more fun with it than the girls are.
We know that there are a couple of webkinz coming from our Aunt over labor day for the girls, so we thought that we would take a quick looksee on how this whole online virtual pet thing works… Soo…
Sara has adopted her first Webkinz…
It’s an Hippo…
Here’s what it looks like on the Webkinz website when you setup your virtual pet…
She named him Harvey…
So for those of you going WTF?? You buy these Ty beanie baby-looking stuff animals and they come with an activation code that you activate online at http://www.webkinz.com. Then you create a virtual world for your pet. You feed it, take care of it, play with it, buy it stuff…. Also, your can invite your friends pets over for a ‘party’ or to play games together. Pretty cool actually.. (Ok, it’s totally dorky.. But ADDICTIVE!)
Grandma and Papa visit for Mia’s Birthday!
Posted on August 3, 2008, under Uncategorized.
Grandma and Papa Puruczky came down from PA today for a visit and we went out to eat for Mia’s birthday!
We went to Buca di Beppo (It’s an Italian place, great food! Shameless promotion starts right here –> http://www.bucadibeppo.com/)
They have a booth in the kitchen where you can sit and watch them cook! Pretty cool, the kids really liked it (And by kids, I mean me too!)
It was a great visit and thanks Grandma & Papa for coming (that’s a long 5 hours in the car for just one birthday dinner lol)
Mia is 3!! WEE HEE!! (Monkey Business Cupcakes)

Here is a picture of the ‘monkey’ cupcakes that Sara made for her daycare part’eeee!
The Girls are parents!!

We traveled up to Boyd’s Bear Country on Sunday (check it out –> www.boydsbearcountry.com) and the girls adopted a bear! What a very cute process. They were sooo excited!
Mia named her new baby bear.. Ummm… Bear (lol) and Hannah named her bear Bella. They got pictures of them holding their newborn and then got to make letter bracelets with their names on them.
It was a great event because this was Mom’s first adventure out of the house with the family on only 1 crutch! Oh, boy!! An event 7 months in the making!!
We definitely picked a good day to go to the store, the day before they had a birthday party for anyone who has adopted a bear before. I’m sure it was quite busy.
Mia with her new adopted bear… named…. Bear (lol)
Hannah with her new adopted bear… named… Bella
