Our true selves

For the public

Thanksgiving fun!

We ate and the kids played while we watched. No wonder they are so little and we are, well, not so little.

Tada!

The Day After Thanksgiving

We went to Mainstay Farm to pick out the Owen's Christmas tree and play. They had a great fort with ladders and swings, bails of hay for climbing, and a wooden maze. I think this will be a new tradition. It was a wonderful place.

James found one just the right size.

Mom's not worried about being stuck in the maze.

Natalie loved the rope swings.

Watch out Natalie, uncle Jason is fast!
Will Jason ever get out of the maze?

Here are some pics.

Miami in November

I recently went to Miami for a Speech-Language Pathology convention. I hated that it was in Miami, but I guess that was a sacrifice I had to make. Here are a few pictures of my trip.

Here's my Hotel

Sarah and I loved getting all the free goodies from vendors, so we show our appreciation.
Oh, Miami in the winter.

Halloween!

We dressed up to give out candy and about 1/2 the kids actually knew who we were! I guess our shirts gave it away...

My Latest Creations

These are for Courtney and Mom. They wanted to see what I have been making...

Just me and the Girls

Amber and Courtney came from OK to see me for a week of shopping and beaching. We had a great time. I don't know any other people who can actually shop as much as I do. We had several days where we would start around 10:00 and come home after dark. Thrift stores, discount stores, garage sales, Target...all our favorite places to find bargains! I was with "my people"! We also went to the beach several times. I had never seen the water so clear! We got some sun, read books, and searched for shells (mom, I found a hermit crab with a beautiful shell, but put it back in the ocean). Our last full day we spent making jewelry, pizza, and playing games. But the best part of the whole trip was all the girl talk. Catching up with my best friends was wonderful and I can't wait to do it again next summer!
