i like

I have one Racounters song on my playlist, 'Steady As She Goes' and I don't know how it got there, but I really like it.  So, now I am off to find more music from this group- and am excited because Jack White heads this group up and I loved all the White Stripes stuff.  (and then all their images online have them looking uberindierocktrash with long locks- and then I remember that I llllllllllllloooooovvvvvveeeeee it when men grow long hair----!)

Auntie Meikel took our family pics.  This is a lovely shot of my baby Josy.

1st place reflections winner!

Hooray for Myka! Our eight year old artist! She won first place in her school's Reflections visual art category.  As you can see- she drew a diverse group of dragons displaying unique colors and designs.  Congratulations Myka!

three darling trick or treaters!

(blurry- but it's the only one!!)



Hooray for Halloween!  It has got to be my kids favorite holiday- they spend more than the month of October designing their costumes and decorating the house with spooky pictures.  Little Josy was a sparkle- fluff princess, Haily was 'Aisling' from Secret of Kells and of course, Myka wanted to be Hermione, the bright and studious heroine from the Harry Potter books. 

2 yr old 'yoshi'

Gush!  How can we love our little 'Yoshi' any more than we do?  She is soft, cuddly, warm and cheerful!  Josy turned two and is growing and learning in so many ways.  What a lovely blessing in our lives.  Beautiful, blonde, Josette.  We love you.

tripoli

Meet Tripoli Silverlight Gary- the girls' new kitten.  She is seven weeks old today and loves to chase our feet as we walk about the house- although we will transition her to be more of an outdoor cat here soon enough.  Myka, Haily and Josy each love her passionately- except little Josy hasn't quite figured out how not to squeeze her to death!
