Another Barnes Original Completed

Well, it took me about 18 months from when I started but the dining table is finally completed. I was threatened and had no choice.

I'm not sure I like it but Missy does.

Seven!

The boy just turned seven, thats right, Missy is officially 36. I just had to call that out. Make sure you remind her.

Here she is wearing on of Aaron's gifts trying to absorb some of the youth.

He really wanted a scooter. Good thing for me they were popular ten years ago and are a quarter of the price.

3D coloring books!

We're Back

Ok Ok, I know its been a while. I got absorbed into the Facebook thing and thought it would be a good way to get the pictures out. I'm over it.

Lead by example.

New Member of the Barnes Clan

Please welcome the newest member of the Barnes Family, Ruby. Ruby is a Blue Great Dane. She comes to us from Wilmington Delaware. She has already gotten a loving welcome from everyone.

Family Reunion

I wasn't sure what would happen if you put all of us in such close proximity. I thought there might be some adverse chemical reaction.

Christmas at Last.

Grandma Crazy Hair, and the Federici clan came to the new Maryland home for a few days.

Madison was much more interested in the Styrofoam peanuts than her presents.

















Shelyn gave Alyssa the green vest she has on in the picture and that she has been wearing for several days even though she hasn't spent that much time outside. I guess she likes it.
















Of course Roxy had to be involved in the event. She has grown quite a bit over the past few months and seems to like the Christmas tree. It's a big stick in the house.
