The Kassel Family Project Life 365

So, I’ve had a couple of people say, “Where did your blog web address come from?”  The “wordpress.com” you get from the site.  The “phamy” part is a small description of me.  For those of you who don’t know, Andy and I play a game called World of Warcraft.  It’s a massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG).  My main character in game is “Phamyn” (or Famine).  Andy came up with that name when I was first thinking of playing.  We thought it went well with “Playghue” (or Plague), which was Andy’s main character at the time.  Over the past four years, I’ve come to be leading a great group of people called a “guild.”  We are the Aging Gamers of the Dunemaul realm.  Aging Gamers is made up of a group of over 100 adults that just enjoy playing the game.  It’s an awesome group of people and I have the privilege of leading them! In guild, I’m known as “Pham,” but one night someone called me “Phamy” and I thought it was cute.  Insert blog website address.  🙂

Scenes of Valentine’s Day around the Kassel Household!  Starting with Valentine gifts for the kids.

Roses from Andy

Tulips from the kids (bought by Andy)

The Kids and their Mailboxes made from Kleenex boxes at daycare

Sharing a glass of Bogle Pinot Noir with Andy

Refrigerator Magnet Gifts from the Kids!

And last, but NOT least, Chocolate Covered Strawberries (both milk chocolate and white chocoloate) from the Candy Factory for me!

We spent a little bit of time preparing for Valentine’s Day tomorrow.  Laura and I made cards on my computer and then printed them.  She colored them for her daycare friends, Cheryl, and Grandma Sylvia.

Laura was very proud of the completed Valentine’s Day cards!

While at Moser’s Foods yesterday, I asked Laura what kind of cookies she wanted to make for her daycare friends.  She saw this cake and decided that’s what she wanted!  So Chocolate Heart Cake it is!

You’ll note the cake has a blue bow.  They also had a cake with a red bow, but Laura said that we couldn’t get that cake.  Why you ask?  Because girls can’t wear red bows…except for Laura because red bows match her pretty hair.

I had forgotten about this picture until today when I was downloading pictures from our family website so I could upload them to Facebook.  I just started laughing remembering that day.  It was July 2007 and we were driving home from daycare.  We had the windows down on the car and Laura’s hair was just blowing all around.  We just laughed all the way home.  I think it was the *last* time she liked her hair being blown around!
