November 2014 - Here Comes Santa Claus

It's come time to reformat the blog!  Unfortunately there are no enough hours in the day to keep up with the current format.  I am still planning to edit pictures and upload them to Picasa Web Albums on a monthly basis.  However, I will not be posting every picture on the blog.  I will pick a few representative pictures for the blog.  You can click on those pictures to get into the album on Picasa.  From Picasa, you can see all the other pictures in that album for the month.  There are three albums in Picasa for each month (one for each kid).  If you click on each photo below you will access each album at least once so you won't miss anything.  I believe this will work well and save me some time.  Let me know if you have any problems with Picasa.

November was a busy month between the circus, Thanksgiving, and Christmas preparations!  Here are some of the highlights!

We can't wait for the circus!


What's a circus without this guy... SKY MAN!

Happy 40th Anniversary!!

Grandma and Grandpa celebrated their 40th anniversary on October 26th!  Congratulations Mom and Dad!!  We all went out to dinner to celebrate.  Friends and family contributed pictures to commemorate the occasion.  Here's what we came up with... I'm sure this will motivate them to go for another 40 years!!

Sam came over to help us paint our pumpkins for Halloween.  Good work, guys!







More Guinea Pigs for Grilled Pizza!

After we dried out from the Pumpkin Patch, we had Grandma and Grandpa over for some of that grilled pizza.  We also rolled out the fire pit to cook some s'mores for dessert!
