My Favorite Pics of the Day

Ember's first bite of Turkey. Look at that "sit"!!

In this game spanish, latin, initials, and make beileve is all alowed.

They don't get any cuter that this . . .

Mary, Chris, Sugar and Miranda

On Thanksgiving Day Jon, Ember, and I walked over to visit with Mary and Chris and their two dogs Sugar and Miranda. Ember was a little scared at first but then she put on her best big dog face and made some new friends. She and Miranda really got along. Hopefully we will all get to spend some more time together over the Christmas break.

My Beautiful Baby!!

In Love

We added a new member to the family today. I am totally in love. Her new name is Ember although it will take a little while to get her used to it. She has only been with us for a couple of hours and it already feels so natural. I might have to skip work next week.

Game Night

We hosted our first game night in the new house. At one point we were afraid we might have about 15 people. By the end we had 6. We had a great time anyway. We always have fun with our new friends Beth and Adam. Bobby was there keeping us laughing of course, and Max showed up long enough to beat Jon a guitar hero once. (She was on medium and Jon was on expert, I would be in trouble for not mentioning that). The girls won at Cranium (of course), and Jon built a nice fire in the new fire pit. Thanks David.

Chloe's 3th B-day

I don't know how but she gets more beautiful every year. This was a fun one. You could tell she really got it this year. She loved just being in the room with all of her presents. My favorite quote was when she did not want one of her presents put to the side she turned to Lori and said "No mommy, please". So Cute!! We had a great time, can't wait till Christmas.

If she blows out the candles twice she will be a teenager before we know it. Thanks for a great day Lori and Vanda.

Lindsay - Blog teacher

Here is the reason I am starting the blog. I have been hooked on my friend Lindsay's blog for awhile I am always amazed at what she is doing on hers. I have a feeling that mine will never compare but she is teaching me from hundreds of miles away. I will try to make her proud. She did teach me that I could steal this picture from her blog and use it on mine, and look it worked. Yea!! Thanks Linds!

Our House??

Here is the condo that we have lived and have been trying to buy since the end of May. I never thought I would be so concerned with the economy. This has been a very difficult process but we do love the place.

Pay no attention to the lack of furniture and the folding chairs. We will get there eventually.

New Blog

Just trying this thing out. Let's see what happens.
