Jackson Lost a Tooth!

Jackson lost his first tooth on Sunday, December 9, 2007!
It's a good thing because his other tooth is already in.

Miracle!

Sydney has made some incredible strides. . .
She spent most of her time playing with Mom's dog, Dixie.

Jackson's Preschool Program

Jackson is on the top row. Here's just a quick glimpse.

First "Snow Kid"

We had our first snow. It was all melted just after noon;
however, the kids wasted no time in building their first
snowman of the year--all by themselves!

Thanksgiving with Cousins

It's been such fun to have our cousins from California around (Toby, Mia and Cambria).
We have enough kids to have an official "kid's table"!

Thanksgiving Turkeys

The kids enjoyed making their turkey cookies.

These were the party favors for Thanksgiving day.

Lots of Leaves!

Our fall leaves came later than usual this year,
but we still had lots of fun playing in them!
This was our leaf tunnel.

Sydney's Concert

Sydney's Solo

Sydney sang a solo--the first two lines of My Country Tis of Thee--at her concert last night.
She didn't even act nervous!

New Look

My sister gave me a new look by highlighting my hair and picking out trendy new glasses. FUN!

Trick-or-Treat!

We're loving having our cousins close.
Uncle Adam, Aunt Becky, Toby, Mia & Cambria came over to help us trick-or-treat.
We had a splendid time!

Chris's Marathon

Chris ran his first marathon last Sunday. He finished in 3 hours, 45 minutes. Melissa and I had fun "running"--driving--to each mile marker and cheering him on. In fact, when it was all over, Melissa exclaimed, "Chris, that was fun! Can we do that again?" Amazingly, I think he will do it again.

Two Weeks with Aunt Melli

We had a FABULOUS time with Aunt Melli.
She spoiled all of us by jumping into our busy lives!
Thank you, Melli, for loving us so well!

Urban Camping

Hello! We're finally getting with it. My sister is helping me set this blog up. It will be a great way to keep up with her (in Alaska) and many of you who are across the country.

We just took a quick overnight trip to a nearby lake. The kids loved our "urban camping"!
