Black Peter visits

My wife's class at school studies about cultures and traditions in other lands and one way she does that is Christmas traditions around the world. She called me one morning and asked if I could play the part of "Black Peter". I told her I would. If you want to know about the tradition you can look it up on Wikipedia. I found my old make-up kit and colored my face brown and my beard black, dressed in all black and went to school to throw candy and cookies in her classroom. Really made some believers!

Thanksgiving!

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year. There were 32 here for dinner. I didn't get pictures of everyone, but these are just some random shots of the kids, family, and tables.

The Last Rose of Summer

This was the last rose of summer that I could pick. I picked this rose on November 1st. It lasted for weeks and then finally faded away.

Getting ready to update the blog again!

Time just has a way of flying by us. It doesn't really seem that long ago that I posted to my blog but it is. I have a few extra hours this week and I will be posting some Thanksgiving pictures and I will also post a few of our Christmas decorations. Our son, Justin, will be home for Christmas and we are very excited about him coming home. Keep a watch and by the end of the week there will be some new posts.

Jordan spinning like a top

Nanny didn't feel too good today, so after church tonight, Jordan and his parents came to see her. Jordan was spinning around and making himself dizzy and then falling down. I took these pictures with the old "dinosaur" camera.










He would hold his hands way out and just start going around.













Then it would be time to fall down. Then it was time to start all over again.

Link to pictures that we have taken recently

Happy Halloween!

Okay, I'm back! Here are some pictures of Jordan and his Halloween costume. He is wearing his Air Force ABU. He was really hoping his Uncle Justin would have been home so that they could have been dressed alike, but that wasn't to be. He only went to a few of his neighbors homes and then came to Nanny and Papa's house before church. He wanted me to make sure and get a picture of his basket full of candy. There are also some pictures of the jack o lanterns that his father and mother carved. Can you guess which one is Jordan's???
Anyway, enjoy these and I will be adding a lot more pictures in the next couple of days.
