Our little town had homecoming this pass weekend. So of course to had to go to the homecoming parade. Its nothing fancy, but a big deal to see the football players and different kids drive down the street throwing candy. Then Lily came and ordered food while Emma got back into the kitchen area and helped Macy make some food. I love how bright it was in their room that day. Just wished a little better light for pictures.

A Birth Story and Hospital Stay. Mark and I just talked and practiced taking photos with the camera so Mark could be ready for action! Welcome to the world Claire. All photos by Mark and Debbie. Claire gave Bailey a big sister present to open at the hospital, her dress up Mini Mouse. October 2012, Part 1.

Abby did cheerleading Camp and fell in love with cheer. The girls and Bryan went to the Daddy Daughter Dance. Brooke and Abigail have now left the USA. they went all the way to Canada for lunch one day. Naturally there has been some fishing.

These are the colors we are trying to work into the room. I got this vintage map framed to hang in the living room. Monday, February 14, 2011. Well, we have been.

Sunday, December 6, 2009. Over Thanksgiving we went on an old fashioned train ride around Mt. The train ride included a visit to Santas workshop. Ethan recently saw the Polar Express and was worried about losing his ticket. What a relief to have the conductor come to collect them. Monica and I did the centerpiece this year. Our goal was to make it as gooby as possible. I think it was a success! Wednesday, August 12, 2009. With two of my little girls.

Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. Tuesday, November 1, 2011. We had a great time trick or treating last night, and we now have way TOO much candy. We put it in a five gallon bucket. It is now locked in my bedroom because Kimber will open a piece of candy take a bite, lick it and then just leave it on the floor. We went to 3 Halloween parties, 1 trunk or treat and then of course actual trick or treating. Her outfit was So much easier than Tuckers.
