December

I was getting gas and playing with Stella through the window and she was smiling so big. Luckily I had my camera in the car and took a couple of pictures. She's smiling so much now! And growing big too!

This picture is at Kate's preschool. She is deathly afraid of Santa and when he came in she climbeb up on her teacher's lap and held on like grim death. Look at her eyes inthe picture - they'll tell you everything!!!

November!

Just thought these were cute!

New page layout

Okay so I found this layout and just thought of the Quackenbush family - don't ask why!!!!

Halloween

Well it's halloween time again, and if you know us, we like to dress up! The kids all looked so cute and we actually didn't have a problem with them not being warm enough!

Brynne at the pumpkin patch, being her usual, photogenic self. She doesn't like her picture taken.

Zerrin loved climbing around in the pumpkin patch. Some of those pumpkins were bigger than him!

Zerrin with his freshly painted Tigger face. Isn't he cute? And Alicia is so proud of her makeup artistry on a 2 year old!
Brynne is a bunny, I think. She is so cute, but didn't want her picture taken!

As usual, Chris has been spending every chance he gets out at "The Marsh." Luckily it is only ten minutes from home. He recently shot a banded goose which means it had a metal ID bracelet on it leg. He was pretty excited about that.I decided to go with Chris a couple weeks ago. I had one job... watch the geese he shot through the binoculars so he could go fetch it. Well, he was half way around the lake when a goose took off flying from the brush. I assured him that I could still see "our" goose and so he went on. 20 minutes later he reached the spot I directed him to and it was a big pile of dirt... not a goose. Ours had flown away 20 minutes ago. Opps.

This is the little fairy costume that macey wore on Halloween. She learned really quickly to smile sweetly to get candy from everyone.

This is the picture we took at the pumpkin patch. As you can see, Chris lost some weight in Alaska and has a little pencil neck now. He wanted to play in the Malpractice bowl (a football game between the Law and Med School), but I wouldn't let him, I was afraid his lil' neck would get snapped.
