The Mearing's Come Over For Dinner
February 27, 2008
Our neighbors James and Jennifer and their daughters Sarah and Taylor came over tonight for dinner.
Jamie was making Chicken Madeira and there was extra so it was a perfect evening for an unplanned dinner get-together.
Drew and Sarah are great friends and they loved to play tonight.

Going For A Walk
February 27, 2008
Being the great Mom that she is, Tracy decided that everyone (including the dogs) needed to go out for a walk today.
Jamie was just as surprised as you are that not only can Tracy take two dogs and three kids for a walk, but she can also capture a few photographs along the way.

Longmont Museum
February 24, 2008
The Longmont Museum has a temporary "Return to Route 66" exibit that we went to see today.
Drew loved the classic cars but didn't care too much to look at photos on the wall.
He did really like the interactive water display which lets you block and release water is a variety of places in order to get the water where it is needed.

PaPa John's Birthday Celebration at Casa Bonita
February 23, 2008
We got together today at Casa Bonita with Tracy's parents and her brother and sister-in-law to celebrate PaPa John's birthday.
Lexi and Brie slept much of the time, which is never a bad thing.
Drew was afraid of the "growler" (gorilla) at first, but then he got over that quickly and had a wonderful time. It was a very fun day.

Drew's First Drawing
February 21, 2008
All of a sudden Drew came to us today with a drawing of real shapes that actually resembled what he was telling us they were.
We were quite proud of him. He then proceeded to draw several more pictures that all resembled real objects. Our boy is growing up.

There were waffles and plenty of them.

Shiloh Moves In
February 17, 2008
Jamie's mom's dog Shiloh moved in with us today. We are her temporary home while we find the perfect permanent home for her.
She is a great dog and we are happy to have her with us for a while.

Downtown Aquarium
February 17, 2008
Today we met Darrenn and Willow and their kids at the Downtown Aquarium. It was an absolute mad house. All of the kids had a lot of fun.
The most fun was had after we braved the crowds inside the main building and headed to Sharkey's Fun Zone which is a little-known play area for kids.

Today was our first visit to Fort Logan National Cemetary since Jamie's mom's funeral.
After a short visit we met a lot of Jamie's extended family for dinner at J. Alexanders in the Park Meadows area.

Drew Goes To Work
February 11, 2008
Jamie accidentally left his office door open during a break from working and returned to find Andrew sitting in his chair "working" on the computer.
It was especially funny when we noticed he had grabbed the hands-free telephone earpiece and was trying to put it on like Daddy does.

The Deba Blog has started
February 8, 2008
After multiple years of maintaining a blank family website, we are finally launching TheDebas.com.
We hope to update this site as often as possible with as many pictures as possible. Check back often!
Also, over time we will be filling in some "historical" entries, many of which will come from the Care Page we kept after the girls were born. This is not a small task, so it will take some time to fill in.
If you would like to get an email whenever we update this site, please send us an email and we will make sure you are on the distribution list. (Hint: Use the Contact Us link at the top of this page.)

Big Girl Baths
February 6, 2008
Brielle and Alexia have officially outgrown the kitchen sink for bathtime!
It's important to note that Tracy has had both girls in this tub at the same time, but this didn't leave an extra hand to work the camera.
