Carousel 2011

Sigh. So disappointed in the pictures. Carousel pictures are hard anyway with low light, orange light, and fast movement. Add to that the fact that our camera desperately needs to be sent for repairs (dropped and is not calibrated correctly and autofocus lens broken), and these pictures leave much to be desired. Still, the kids had a great time, and it's something that the whole family does together. I love that part!

How is it that she does not know she's beautiful?
(OK.  I guess that's better than conceit, but look at her!)

Yes, Santa, we've been good . . . for the last half hour!

Animals

Conor, on his very best behavior at Northwest Seed & Pet.

Gabrian, needing very little encouragement, joins right in.
They were cocker spaniel puppies - cute as can be!

Long-Overdue Halloween Pictures





I have to work Monday nights, so Michael drug all the kids to my office to get ready for Halloween.  We only got grainy camera phone pictures before Andrew and Mandy were anxious to go join friends and we went trick-or-treating.  (Wynn declined to wear "silly garments.")
