Family Pictures 2007

Our yearly tradition of family pictures.....we will sure miss Sabrina when we move. Thanks to her our pictures are always great.

Two Big Things and One Small Thing

We have been pretty busy this last week and not just with Thanksgiving. As most of you know Doug was invited and has accepted a place in a one year residency program with the Air Force on Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. He will attend officer training in Tennessee in July and we will all meet up in Las Vegas in August. How this is all going to happen and in what order is anyone's guess. I just ask that I get through the holidays before I need to start thinking about that. But YEA!!!!! We know where we are going after dental school!!!!!!

Next big thing is Nate has lost is other central incisor tooth (number 9 for those of you who are interested). So he can really sing "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth" this year. How much fun.



Lastly, our little thing. Now I'm sure your children never get cranky or are in desperate need of a nap but this last week Danny was found to be in serious need of some shut eye. But at 5 years old he has figured out that he is too old for these little things. Being sent to the couch with his favorite blanket didn't do anything to calm him down. With feet flailing, fist banging, and the type of noise that a dieing animal makes, Dan was letting his disapproval be known. At this point a rather ingenious mother comes up with an idea. Out comes "Momo Bear". I sat next to Danny and asked him if he remembered when he got Momo Bear. I told him that Nana got him Momo Bear so when he needed a big hug, he could hug Momo Bear and it was like Nana was hugging him. Well, you can see the results.

A Quick Look at October

Lack of posting makes for a quick catch-up!!!!

Matt's Birthday

Matt turned 9 this last month. It is all about the Pokemon this year. Balloons, table cloth, napkins, and plates all were Pokemon (thanks Nana)!!! Mom and Dad were feeling quite inventive with the Erector Set that he got.














Danny's Field Trip

October was also the month of field trips. Danny was able to go to Holden Arboretum to finish of his study of trees. They were able to name parts of the tree and the creators that lived in them.









Nate's Field Trip

Nate went to the South Euclid Historical Society and got to learn what is was like to live in our community over a hundred years ago.



Pumpkin Hunting

We made a trip out to Patterson Farm to pick out our pumpkin this year. We were also able to see how they sorted apples while we were there. The boys enjoyed scooping out the inside of the pumpkins and making a mess.

Halloween

At last the boys were able to be Power Rangers (fake muscles and all). They went Trick or Treating with the Williams and came back with more candy than we handed out. Don't worry Mom and Dad helped them eat it all.
