Kid Comedy

Grace- My school shoes are too small for me
Me- Really? (we just got new shoes a few months ago)
Grace- Yes, I am too big for my tennis shoes
Me- So, you need new shoes?
Grace- Yes...shoes that light up.

Have a happy week!

Portraits 2011

We weren't going to do portraits this year, but I got an amazing deal, so we decided to get some of just the girls. I'm not posting the main one we're using for our Christmas card, but here are the others. I wasn't thrilled with the photographer (she zoomed in too close a lot of the time), but it was super cheap, so I guess I can't complain. Here are my favorite shots. I love my beautiful girls! Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
Love,
Aubrey

P.S. We have the CD and copyright of the pictures, so any of you can print any you want. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cute dogs and cute kids

Mark's parents got our doggies some costumes for Halloween and so we dressed them up for a few minutes.

 

Lily seems to be saying "help me, please". She's a patient dog though.

 

I didn't get a good picture of Daisy, but here you can see that she was dressed up too.

 

I like this picture of Joy, she is so often just really happy.

 

Daisy and Lily were groomed today and they are so white and fluffy and beautiful when they're groomed. They smell great too for a few days, so that's good (they don't smell too bad the rest of the time either).

 

Today when we asked Joy to smile for the camera she would scrunch up her face so cute and smile. Such a cutie!

 

And here's our pretty Grace posing for the camera.

That's it for now. Things here are going pretty well. I've been sick with some back-to-back colds and a pretty bad sinus and double ear infection, but I think I'm on the mend (with two antibiotics on board). Joy's appointment with the infectious disease guy was pretty fruitless. He thinks she just gets sick regularly with high fevers, with no other symptoms. Can't say that I agree with him, but at least it's probably not serious, just disruptive. We're going to wait and see how she does.
Grace and BethAnne have most of November off (because their school is year round), so I'm looking forward to having my girls home this month. Hopefully we can practice cleaning and playing nice together. Have a great week!
Love,
Aubrey
