A Trip to the Mountain Retreat

We took a trip up north last weekend to pick up some more things in preparation for the holidays. I think the kids may have been a little upset if we did not have any decorations in the new house.

I really wonder why we need all this stuff when we have been living just fine with out any of it for the past two months.

It was almost like Christmas for the kids. Tons of toys they never play with mraculously became new again.

Even madison and Rici came to hlep us out. She is growing so fast!

I'm not sure I want to know what she is digging for.

A Visit From the Sherman Clan

We were grace by the presence of the Sherman clan their new addition. Guilt goes a long way!

They came to visit us in our new house for almost four days and we had a great time.

Of course the safety police tried to let the baby ride the dog.

Jack will be a great rock star some day.

The kids had a great time playing in the leaves and it saved me a ton of time in the yard. Even Jack got in on the rakeing.

The Man is Six!

Another birthday down. Can you believe he is six? It was only a short time ago when he was just a wee tot leaving presents in his britches!

Roxy

I might have more pictures of the dog than the kids. I love this picture! She does this crazy thing with her ears when she's playful.









She's getting so big. She is 6 months old now and is totally the kids' dog. She loves to be outside with them.















And, of course, she's completely spoiled. Not only does she sleep in our bed every night, she goes head first under the covers!

Back To School!

My babies are both in school full time! This picture was taken on their first day.































I drove the kids on their first day. Second day was Aaron's first bus day. Isn't he cute in his bus visor?! He was excited to ride the bus with his sister.
