I don't generally comment, because I don't actually watch the show, and therefor have nothing to add, but I do faithfully read and enjoy your accounts of it!

Good point, Dub. I do think Facebook had a detrimental impact on the cabana, as so many of us now do keep in contact there instead of here. As for the 1st amendment, just remember it makes it easier to spot the crazies... ;)

So good to see you back, Dub! You always had such great posts. :) I'm not posting a lot these days, since I'm kept running chasing a busy 14-month-old little boy, and now we have another baby on the way, so morning sickness is keeping me under ...

Thanks, Mike! He's a cabana baby, since my husband and I met through MC. :D

Yes, my Erik will be 1 on February 20th. Can you believe it?? :) I posted his picture in the family section here (I think). He's a sweetheart! It's so nice to be able to catch up with you!

Here is a picture of Erik with one of his little friends (Erik is the one at the piano). He is almost 1!

I need to figure out how to post pictures on here, so all my old MC friends can see my almost-1-year-old son. :)

Praise God! And it's so great to see you back, Sharon!!!! It has been a long time!

We're having pierogies with Polish sausage and spinach tonight, with chocolate cupcakes for dessert. (I did a test run of the cupcakes I plan to make for Erik's 1st birthday party.) :)

I hate to admit it, but I am currently "that person" who obnoxiously tries to get the very closest spot possible. In my defense, I have a 10-month-old baby who weighs about 23-24, and we're in Chicago where it is really cold. I try to park ...

I finished my gift shopping a while ago (maybe two weeks) and the food shopping on Wednesday, so I thought we were golden, then this morning we ran out of something important, so had to make a quick trip to the grocery store. All done now, though, so w...

True, true!

That's really awesome, Steve! Congratulations!! When is the big day?

Hey there, Steve!

Hey, dude!!! How are you doing?? You disappeared off of facebook, and I've been wondering how you're doing. :) Anyway, we had leftovers tonight, but we're having pierogies and sausage tomorrow. :)

Wow! Mark and Mike are both back... it's like the good old days here at MC. :)

Nice! Good to see you!

Great! I want to be able to post a picture of my baby. :)

Hey there, Ayden and Dierk (and Mark, of course)! Good to see you back here!

WOOT!!! We can hardly wait!!

I've been checking in once every week or two as long as it has been down to see when it came back, and this time I was happily surprised. :)

It will probably take time, but I do hope we get our cabana back like the wonderful place it used to be!

:waves: Hello ladies! I wish I could figure out how to post a picture here, because I've got a really cute baby I'd love for you to see. :D

Aww, poor Spidies! Mr. Erik keeps me so busy these days, and we also moved into a new house a few weeks ago... I often just check facebook when I get online and that's all. :/ I really need to post some new pictures of Erik... he's is REALLY cu...

Dun... my brain is not working... I just realised it was the CAR that was down, not the computer! Just tap me on the head and tell me it's hollow. ;) You have been missed, whatever the cause.

Wow! Glad to hear EW2's computer is back up and running! We are doing well here. Erik rolled over for the first time yesterday and seems to be "growing up" quickly all of a sudden. My little baby is going to be 4 months old on Monday... har...

I agree with Jemila! Please, please get facebook! :) I don't get online as often as I used to, so it's hard for me to keep up around here. Speaking of EW2, did she show you Erik's birth announcement? Our little guy is getting cuter by the d...

Awww, poor spidies!! Erik has been going through a stage where he hates for me to be on the computer, so I haven't been on as often. He is quite adorable, though, smiling and laughing. I would like to send EW2 pictures, if you can email her address...

He's doing great! Yesterday he even let me hear part of the sermon at church. Heh. This morning he has been very cheerful, laughing, waving his arms and legs and repeatedly saying "guh," which seems to be his favorite word. LOL He is defini...

Awww, poor spidies! I'm sure your creations would have been... ummm... tasty! Erik says "guh!" which means "hi" in his language. :D

Of all the traits my son could have inherited from my wonderful, fun and beautiful family, why, oh, why did he have to get the insomnia???

Awww, poor Spidies!! Baby Erik has been keeping his mama tired and busy, so I haven't been around much lately, but we still love you. :) Now, I am going to see if I can figure out how to attach a recent picture of Erik here... We'll see! hmmm, ...

Thanks, Smiles! There are more pics on facebook, and I believe you are my friend over there, so you should check them out. He's a cutie! :) I just posted the stats on the Banana Spider thread, but I'll post here, too. Erik Robert Kristopher Wil...

You would probably like some stats, wouldn't you?? :) Erik Robert Kristopher Williamson arrived at 5:32 am on Sunday, February 20, 2011, after 28 hours of labor. He was 10 pounds, 2 ounces, 21 inches long and had a 38.5 cm head (this was an importa...

Hi Spidies!! I didn't realise it was still possible to post here on MC! Duh! I've been regularly checking to see if the "pardon our dust" page was gone, and every time I saw it, I assumed we still couldn't post. Now I feel stupid! I...
