Okay, last two... I promise!



Can you tell which one is puking? Marshall carved that one and the other is in memory of Lauren, who couldn't join us because her and Phill are in Beeville, TX.

The rest...





Heres the rest of the pictures!

I lost my pictures....





Trying again...

Carving Pumpkins!!

Tonight for FHE we carved pumpkins! Of course, it wasn't quite complete with out Lauren and Phill, but Dad carved Lauren, so she would feel like she was here and now she is! You may find some repeats on Shawneen's and Dana's blogs but thats okay. In the picture of Mia, by herself, she was helping herself to all the seeds. And with Jamies pic, she's doing this with a bad foot :( , all the rest, well, you're on your own. :)

We got PUPPIES!!





Of course, I am a little late with this news, but I wanted the puppies to be a little bit bigger. They are officially 10 days old as of this blog and the pictures were taken a couple of days ago. They are 2 females, with many a name, depending on who you talk to in the family. There eyes should start to open any day now. They are GOOD EATERS! :)
