More Thanksgiving Pictures

This lemur was oddly tame despite all of the kids petting it.

A Thanksgiving to Remember....

We had such a memorable and wonderful time for Thanksgiving. We really missed those who weren't with us though. Thank you mom & dad, Angela & Jed, and Lindsay & Alan for coming all the way to Texas for Thanksgiving. Here are some pictures from our few days together. The ones with Santa Claus and the train are from the Dickens Festival in McKinney. Everything else is at our home.

A Little Southern Livin'

Just wanted to post a few pics from our weekend outing to the Carolina Rollergirls Roller Derby! If you thought your visit to see us would be boring, we have news for you. In order to secure more visitations from those we love we have been checking out the local venues around Durham. We want your weekend/week with us to be spent really entrenched in true Southern livin' and we recently found the Roller Derby to be one such venue. Don't misunderstand...you can probably see roller derby in many locations. In fact this week's meet involved a team from Pittsburg. You will find a great specimen of southernites though in the audience and we truly believe you will not be disappointed. So, book your trip and we'll see you soon.

Happy Halloween!

It's so fun to see everyone dressed up. I'm loving it! Here is a Gold picture overload...


Ellie as Tinkerbell.


Sam as Peter Pan. Nice dagger, pointed right at his face, I know.

More pics..
Sarah as Wendy. We even managed curls in the hair, even after the neighborhood parade it was picture worthy. She is waving at Trick-or-Treaters.


This is a picture of Jed and I at our Guitar Hero/Pizza Showdown. It was totally a success as you can see by everyone's expressions. It was the only dressing up we did this season, my pirate vision just didn't materialize.

More Halloween fun

We enjoyed our trunk or treat, then real trick or treating in our neighborhood.

Random

The first picture is Sydney and Spencer asleep after they were reading books together at bedtime. The second picture is of Nathan in his baseball uniform. He lost his first tooth!

San Antonio

Before we moved, I took the kids to downtown San Antonio to see the Alamo, the Riverwalk, and to watch the Dallas Cowboys practice. It was a fun day, but the kids remembered the thousands of bats under the bridge the most.







P.S. I can't figure out how to list what each picture is next to it. So the first picture is at the Alamodome with the Dallas Cowboys, the second picture is the Alamo, and the third and fourth pictures are at the Riverwalk.
