Kevin and Lisa, hope the move went well - did you have the closing on the other house yet?

We're expecting a *severe* winter storm - they're calling for as much as 10 inches of snow....I'll be back with photos tomorrow!

Our temps have plummeted and Chesty has crawled into the warmest spot around!

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was good.

We had a great time at my house today. I was glad so many of you could make it.

A big thanks to everyone who helped me.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Can't believe I'll be there in just a couple weeks! Looking forward to seeing you all!

Looking forward to seeing you all in a couple weeks! Hard to believe we were canoeing with Adam a couple days ago. We had snow flurries yesterday when we got home and it's snowing right now and it's sticking!


Kevin, glad the move went OK. I updated your email address here on the blog.

Well we got everything moved yesterday and are working to get evrything arranged and unpacked. I hope every one has great day. Please make a note of my new email address and I will send a email to every one with the new address.

We spent most of the day visiting with Adam. A visit to see his house, canoeing and kayaking on the lake, dinner, sitting by the bonfire. It's a good thing I'm going to see him in a few weeks otherwise I'd have been crying when I said goodbye to him tonight.

Well, Saturday was Fiona's first birthday! Last week she finally figured out the walking thing, and now nowhere is safe....Fiona had a mixed day for her birthday - we had the party at Janet's parent's house. Fiona, for her part was a little overwhelmed at all the big loud people wandering around. She also has bronchitis, so the night before her big day she didn't sleep much (I think the only sleep she really got was when we broke down and let her in our bed), so she was kinda cranky and cried a good bit. But she did have fun eating...I'd post some pictures, but Janet has the CD with the pictures burned on it with her at work. Well, we're looking forward to Thanksgiving and I suppose we'll see ya'll later this week.....

It's nice having connections! We had a really nice dinner tonight and they took really good care of us thanks to Adam.

We're here in Georgia and after seeing Adam last night and having a wonderful dinner in the restaurant he works at, we had a quiet day sitting by the lake. Unfortunately I have a terrible cold so I haven't been feeling very energetic. Adam, Chris, and Becky will be here shortly and we'll visit a while before going to dinner.

I'm getting excited - just a few weeks until the reunion. It will be great seeing everyone - too bad Chris and Becky won't make it.

Keith and I watched the Redskins/Eagles game today - lets just say I was a lot happier with the outcome than he was - GO EAGLES!

Speaking of unhappy, Chesty wasn't thrilled with getting a bath after the game either!

It's great you got a new job Erin, I'm happy for you I hope it workes out well for you.

I understand that you will have to work whatever hours they tell you but who knows maybe you will be working in the morning on Friday 23rd. We'll just have to wait and see what your hours are and maybe you will be able to make it, if not Christmas is not far behind Thanksgiving so you should be able to make Christmas since the stores will be closed on Christmas.

hey everyone. sorry it has yet again been a while since i have posted.

i have a new job now, at toys r us. which sadly means i may not be able to make it to grandmoms thanksgiving dinner, as it is black friday.

also, i will be at the family reunion. however, with my job and not being able to take off during the holiday season, i don't know when during the day i will be working, if i am even working. hopefully i can get them to let me just take a morning shift so that i can be at the reunion.

and yes joey will be there too so that he can meet everyone. however he will be at an arcade auction the first half of the day up in richmond and then should be over soon after that.

It's a beautiful fall day - breezy and COLD and we had our first SNOW FLURRIES! I had go to the post office this morning and walked through the park on my way home. Of course, I had to stop for a coffee too.

Heather did someone make your baby sad? She is so cute can't believe how fast these babies are growing. Jamie stopped by tonight with Ben. It is unbelievable how tall he is getting. I'm sure he will soon have lots of girls chasing him even though he goes to an all boys school.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in December too.

Mary your baby is cute too.

Kiera crying at school......boy are girls moody!

First, Fiona is SO cute.

Chesty had such a hard day yesterday he only wore his ladybug costume in the morning on his way to the hospital. He did get several comments about how cute he was.

They're going to treat his collapsing trachea medically, they put him on Theophylline BID and Hydrocodone BID PRN so we'll see how it goes.

Just in case you forgot how cute he was....here's another look at his photo.

Fiona looks so cute Janet.

Hope everyone is doing well. Mary we are thinking of Chestie.

Fiona's first Halloween was a hoot. She was a giraffe (courtesy of Kim, our wonderful babysitter!) We just wanted to get some pictures of her for her first Halloween. She had her walker and pretty much ran down the sidewalk. Our neighbors tried to entice her with candy but she did not give in. She was just thrilled to be out and running around past her normal bed time!
