Getting Ready for Christmas

As you can see it isn't always peaches & cream, sugar & spice or rainbows & unicorns.

Scream & Shout

Hey, brother.

Neil, Caitlin & Cole: Thanks so much for my birthday present. Luva Java is the best. Lauren and Will think so too. The package arrived this afternoon and we had fun opening it.

Visiting with Greg, Tracy, Dylan & Jake

Here are some shots of Dylan, Jake, Lauren and William posing nicely for their camera happy parents.

Lolo, Will & Dilly

Jake's had enough

They look cute together don't they?

Lauren had a ball playing, dancing, running, etc... with the boys. It's so great to see her have fun with older kids like Dilly and those her same age like Jakey. And Will, he has fun where ever he goes and with whomever will hold him. Thanks for a fun time Greg and Tracy!

Thanksgiving '07

Starch Thursday

Lauren, William, Jen and I celebrated Thanksgiving at home with Mom, Dad and Sam. We had a fun and delicious meal: local, free range turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, stuffing, tomato pudding, gravy, apple sauce, cranberry sauce, Ceja Chardonnay, pecan pie, chocolate pecan pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin custard, pumpkin whoopie pies.



Lauren napped through our early meal (2:00 p.m.), but joined us for dessert- she had cherry tomatoes and a piece of a homemade pumpkin whoopie pie for her meal. Mom had to work and before we turned around Dad was out the door heading back home so we are a little short on full family photos, but you all know what they look like.



Happy Thanksgiving!

William's Baptism

Halloween '07

Lauren and Will dressed up as a monkey and a pea pod, respectfully, while Jen and Mom took the kids to Eileen's and trick-or-treated in her neighborhood. I flew back from a couple of days in Florida to join them and Sam came by after work.
