Mr. Montana

Patrick is big time now - he made the news!! He is the one in the hard hat on the right. I wonder what it will be like being married to a television star... ahhh... the glamorous life we lead.

All about pictures

Last Sunday, we took some family pictures. My dad and mom were the photographer and the "make the kids smile" assistant (respectively). It is something that I absolutely love doing. I love seeing the kids with the fall colors as well as the fun tradition with Pop-pop and Grandma. My dad is the best photographer, and he and mom make the kids smile so genuinely. This is the 4th year that we have done this and much to my family's dismay, I want to do it every year. We even tried to get Molly (doggie) in the pictures again this year, but she was too confused with all of the commotion... and believe me, there is commotion. But a fun sort of commotion, laced with bribery, bossiness, threats, and lots of love. Thanks to Grandma and Pop-pop for giving us these sweet memories!

It was a pretty exciting evening at our house - trimming toenails and fingernails!! Actually, the kids and I had a wonderful evening together. Piano lessons with Grandma, no homework, sleep in mommy and daddy's bed, no school for the next two days, watch a movie, eat Grandma's cookies, drink root beer for supper, and of course our mani/pedi sessions. I love nights when we are home together (sans Daddy this particular night). Nights where we don't do anything really special, but we make the regular things that we do special.
