Cute holiday dog!

Here are just 2 of the 582 Christmas card pictures that didn't make the cut... 

Let's just say a huge thank you to my mom for being our photographer. She puts a smile on Leo's face any day and was patient enough to take his (and our) picture! When he wasn't smiling at her through the camera he was lunging at her for pets and attention. He LOVES his grandma!

Shhhh

All four boys (Randy, foster kiddo, Leo, and Henry- of course!) are still asleep this morning and I think that I have just found my most enjoyable time of day!! 

Peaceful is all I can say. :)

Praise the Lord for sweet moments like these!

Spring in November

Here is an Easter lily blooming in our front yard.  I transplanted it over the summer and it has bloomed again this past week.  I took this picture on Monday and despite all the wind and rain this week, it is still a picture of spring time!

Henry Video from the Archives

Here are some short low quality cell phone videos of Henry. These were shot the morning of September 2, 2007. He was romping about and chasing his cat house. I grabbed my cell phone and this is what I ended up recording.

October Happenings

It seems that October went by fairly quickly and now we are 11 days from Thanksgiving.   Here are some pictures from October.  I actually carved a pumpkin this year.  Mine is the greenish one at the top.  Janet and Robert came over and used our house as their pumpkin patch which was fun.  Henry even had  to inspect the carved squash and give them his sniff of approval.

I have also began my coaching career serving as a volunteer 5th grade boys coach with a co-worker.  We have 18 boys that we split into two teams for game days, so literally each Saturday, "Both teams played hard."

Sandy has been ADOPTED!!

Yeah!! Sandy has been adopted and now has a wonderful forever family.

Gary and Debbie adopted her and the boys are having a great time with her. According to the boys (4 and 5 years old) she runs at least 90 mph in the yard! They gave her a bath and they wanted to know when all of the gray was going to scrub off so that she's be white like our Leo! Cute kids! 

We're so happy for Sandy and can't wait to visit her soon!

More Sandy pictures!
