Santa and The Girls

This is Santa and the girls at the community Breakfast with Santa 2005.
Chelsea was terrified as all 1 year olds would be.
Jaime was 5 and very curious.
After the event Jaime said, "Mommy, Santa's voice sounds like Daddy.
Very smart girl, that little one.
Happy Holiday Season, everyone.

Christmas is coming . . .

Sweet Tracy from New Zealand scrapped this for me. I absolutey love her. Tracy, I hope you don't mind, I added the text. I love the crescent, the flowers, the ribbon, so pretty. Thank you so much for doing this for me. What a great RAK. I thank you, very much.

Happy Fall Everyone . . .

Family day . . . and after a breakfast of crumpets and jam, peaches and coffee (for the big kids) and juice (for the little kids), daddy went outside to clean up the leaves. The kids were so eager to help, they went out in their pajamas. Chelsea did put on water shoes, but Jaime was in barefeet. They did not last long outside. It is so nice to have the patio clean and leaf free, but those leaves just keep coming. We are very greatful for the clear, crisp, cool, dry fall days though as we know the alternative can be very wet. After we clean up the leaves, we are heading out to find some family fun. Enjoy Sunday everyone!

Halloween Night Sky

At the end of the fireworks on Halloween night, there was one final amazing flash of light in the sky.

We Remember . . .

A letter to the soldiers, from a seven year old sweetheart.

Dear Soldiers,

I am thankful that you made peace in the world.

What did you bring with you?
Which side were you on?
What was it like?

My freedom means I can go to school and play sports.

You are my hero.

Thank you.

Play Date!

Flowers for you. . .
