What is the Greatest TV Show Ever????

So, you're sitting around like Riley (above), flipping through the channels and you wonder:

What TV Show Can:
Keep you on the edge of your seat?
Be funny and make you laugh?
Make you bite your nails in suspense?

Why, it's...

BLUES CLUES! Of course!


The Doctor's Are In The House....

Adam's parents, Dr. Jolanta and Dr. Wojciech Owczarz, arrived on March 27th and spent 3 lovely weeks with us. They were so proud that Adam got our basement apartment "functional" for their stay. They got to spend a lot of quality time with Adam (their only "baby") and they got to meet Riles! Of course they could not believe how big Draik and Regan have become this past year. Jola went with us to Draik's play and several other functions. Adam took them to mass Easter Sunday. They took Adam and I out to eat for our anniversary. The joke was, we told them to come in the Spring instead of Winter because it was wonderful weather...and they don't have much wonderful weather in Denmark. So, they get here and it breaks 70 degrees maybe 3 days out of 21 AND we had snow AND we had severe weather several times (which they had never experienced)! We accused them of bringing the horrible weather from Denmark. All said, we had a great visit and hopefully they will be back for Christmas.

Regan and Wojciech enjoy the afternoon on the front porch.

Draik also posed with Wojciech before he went back to Copenhagen.

And the picture of Wojciech holding Riley (due to his blindness, Adam's dad never held him as a baby...so Adam was pretty peeved that he held Riley!)

My mom, Dr. Wojciech holding Riley and Jola.

Just Catching Up...

Well, it has been an extremely busy past couple of months for the Owczarz family! In short:

*Draik placed 6th at the State Debate Tournament. OK, 6th place isn't all that, right? Well, to get a high place in state, one must complete 4 rounds of debate action. Draik had a raging stomach bug the day of the tournament...as a matter of fact, she braved it and drove down with my dear friends, Kellie and Harold Mullican, and their daughter, Katie, since I had the raging stomach bug, also. So, Draik gets to competition and only completes 2 ROUNDS!!!! She gets goose eggs for rounds 3 and 4, and still manages to place 6th in the state. Unbelieveable! Draik, you rock!
*Draik also performed in Seussical, Jr! a few weeks back. She had such a great time performing (even though she didn't get the Sour Kangaroo part and was only a dancer). She, Jeanna and Maisie were all dancers and did a great job! Afterward, they went to the cast party at the Calhoun Convention Center where they tried to have a good time, but unfortunately had to end it early due to inclement weather. *Regan has completed his soccer season and his team did an awesome job. They only lost 1 all season! They only got to complete 8 games due to all the rain, but his team rocked! He also brought home straight A's again, much to the disgust of Draik. Even though she brings home all A's...her average is around 95 right now and Regan's average this past report card was a 99.8! Regan, you rock! *Riley is just so freaking cute! He is now 4 1/2 months old! He is eating solids and his Phe levels are extremely low again...so he's having to eat more cereal to get his Phe levels up. He is about 26" long and weights about 17 lbs. He babbles, drools, rolls over and does all kinds of neat tricks for us.
