Serena & family

Serena, wishing you and yours the best in the New Year.

Serena! The best to you for 2013, friend!

Serena! Wishing you and your family all the best in the coming year

Serena! You made TOPP on my page!!!

to you and your beautiful family.

Thank you for my birthday wishes Serena. I did enjoy my day.
Your family is certainly growing up. I remember when Elijah was first on the Parent's page and his lovely long curly hair.

Hello Serena!
Thank you for dropping with the birthday wishes - most appreciated!
Yes, I remember seeing Elijah, too a few times I think, at slightly different ages.

Serena!!! Take a !

Let's break out the bubbly and toast the newest member! (Golly I hope it's the bubbly , possibly just the old vino or ahhh, it could have been the scotch - durn smilie's too small to make sure!)

Serena, welcome to the SM club! Sorry I never picked that uo from your clues, but glad to see you and waiting for some of your personal smiles to appear!

Thank you, Serena, for your condolence. Slowly we'll adjust to life without our special companion, but the house just isn't the same.

Serena, I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard when they are so yound and it didn't have to happen!

I'm so sorry, Serena. What a tragedy for you and your family. Please know that I am thinking of you and holding you all close to my heart.

Serena, such a devastating blow to you and your whole family. May you find support in each other working your way through this tragic time. My thoughts are with you.

Serena, I'm saddened so much by the dreadful news - my and my family's thoughts are with you and yours.

Azariah!

Hi Serena. Super pictures in your gallery and I really like the family shot you have on to welcome visitors to your page. I think we beat you on the Spring weather up here. I woke up to a fresh 20 plus centimeters of snow, and there's more forecast over the next too days. C'est la vie. Take care, and hugs from me to your children.

I know I have missed you but I wanted to let you know that it tickles me pink that a friend remembers my quirks! When I either get my 8 or a dear friend gets it for me, I know I am going to have a great day! Thank you!

When you're multiplying by any number you're making that number of groups of the multiplicand (the number you're multiplying). So when your multiplier is a fraction you're making that fraction of the multiplicand. example 6 X 3/2 You want to get 3/2 of 6. It makes it easier for children to make the 6 into 6/1 so that they don't multiply the 6 by both the 3 and the 2, which is what a lot of my students would do if they didn't set up the whole number into a fraction form.

Thank you Serena!!! I did have an early Mothers day and birthday celebration with my sons and their families!

BTW your kids get cuter and cuter every time I see them! Watch your older son has the making of a romantic British hero and your little one will be a femme fatale. And the middle guy is going to be loveable!

That picture is perfect, Serena.

for the birthday wishes! I loved the birthday cupcakes you sent! How sweet of you to send them!

Sorry, Serena, to hear about the loss of your parishioner. So difficult to bear when special people leave us. You're in my thoughts.

Wonderful update showing the growing children Serena. I'm sure you're proud of them!

Just dropping in to say to Elijah. May your birthday be filled with joy and happiness. I like your haircut too.

Argh!!! Couldn't send the answer by phone. Will send later but I did figure out the answer!

Not really, but it helps to explain Cru's character. The second delves into his basically good heart and his devotion to his adopted daughters. He is a father with all the foibles of fatherhood going into teenagehood.

Hi Serena, I did have a look smilies yesterday, but took a while for the Internet to talk nicely to iPhoto, on my computer, where I wanted to store them. I found one I really liked, but couldn't get the file small enough to submit it. I'm going to have another go today with a less adventurous image. I think I'll have to look a bit harder at where to customise sizing. I'm sure it's there, but I just haven't needed it before. Wish me luck!

for the b'day greeting! It's always such a treat to get the 2-day Sudoku celebration

Serena, Thank you for the Birthday greeting. I always enjoy hearing from Sudoku friends.

Hi Serena - finally caught up with you new photos! Wonderful!!!

This is copy & paste message about the Sudoku Easy Jigsaw Problems:
They went wild after one of Gath's changes. If you go back in the beginning (15th May 2005) & check the photos in the archives you'll find that the only jigsaw is the torso in the black jumper with the white coffee cup, you'll find that photo as the jigsaw on every Easy Sudoku page up till the 12th of January this year. I did comment on this earlier this year, but I'm usually commenting when no one's around!!!
I'd say the photos we're getting are the ones from the Easy pages that don't have a home any more! And the off sized ones are possibly the very early reward photos for finishing the Sudoku!
So I think we just have to accept that the Easy Sudoku jigsaw is going to too big or very small, more frequently than being a good size!!

Love the photo above, did you baby do the ad we have here in Oz .lol

Hi Serena!
Great train!!!

Thank you for taking the time, Serena, to wish this Sudokuland derelict a Happy Birthday! One of these days I hope to get my act together and start posting here again! Take care! Jane

Thanks for remembering me on my birthday.

Hi Serena,
Firstly may I say how much I love the photo of the little blue denim angel who got ''stuck'' into the white paint ! You are a lucky mother to have such
beautiful children.
And thank you for your birthday wishes to me on 7th.
It was one of the ''Big O'' birthdays - another milestone - hopefully a few more to go !

Happy Anniversary! and thanks for all you do to add to the fun of Sudokuland.

Well, I can't leave you down here Serena, so....
