I hate Julie, but its fun any way!

The deal:The first 5 people to respond to this post will receive something made by me for you! It will be my choice and made especially for you. Just so we’re on the same page, here are the details: No guarantees you will feel absolute true love, but possibly happiness, fervor, or chocolate. What I create will be just for you. It will be done sometime this year. You have no clue what it will be… cookies, a photograph, a piece of homemade jewelry. It may be some other random thing I am capable of making or doing that would be enjoyable to you! I may bake something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you! That’s for sure. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The fine print (which is actually the same size, but whatever): You must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on their blog. When you get your lovely homemade goods from me, post a picture on your blog so I know my love arrived without a hitch.
(A couple of reasons I like this: 1) I have an entire year to do it, and 2) I can do something extremely strange if I want. Cool.)
I got this from my friend Amy's blog. I thought it could end up being really fun, plus give me a chance to use my imagination a bit more. Who wants to play?

All eyes open!!!


A friend of mine took a snap shot for me at the girl's Christmas program. Miracle but all of our eyes were open! I went home and made a card on line and sent it in. Lucky for 1 hour photo, actually got a card made and sent before Christmas.

Christmas 2008


The Haake family had a wonderful Christmas. It was nice to enjoy a year where the children were content with what they got and even more happy with what they gave. I find that little boys seem to be very easy to please. A car would do it I guess. However Jack opened each gift with a, "Whoa" and kept all his things in a pile.
I was touched by the kindness of people this year. Neighbors brought cookie plates and thoughtful cards. Someone chose to do the 12 days of Christmas for us. The kids listened for the door bell every night in excitement. I loved looking at the cards in the mail and thinking of people that have effected my life so much, still sending their support. Merry Christmas To All, and thank you.

John Bin Laden


Very disturbing, the van adds a little extra something as well.

Haake Halloween 2008

The Haake children had a great Halloween. It rained but it was warmer than most years so they really filled their bags. India was a Tokyo Mew Mew, Ireland a Pokemon Ranger, Sienna a Sumo wrestler till her costume pump blew and then she quick changed to the Corpse Bride. Gigi was Princess Leia, Kimber/spider man and Jack Jack was a Pirate that didn't do anything, although he did a lot. John wore Jack's pirate beard for part of the night and creepy but looked like Bin Laden. Not a big comfort to his dear, angelic wife. Hehe
Happy Halloween!!!
