Happy Halloween!

Aren't they cute? Note the curl on Charlie's forehead! Chuck was very proud of that.

AAARGH! I think I see a ghost in the window!

How fun! Jumping in the leaves.

Chloe-isms

Chloe had to stay home today because she caught the "Red Eye". Unfortunately she has pink eye. We seem to get that a lot. She has now got her "eye drips" for 24 hours, so she should be fine to go to school tomorrow.

Yesterday at church she said something cute. We play a little game where make a list of things that we love each other more than. ie: "I love you more than chocolate ice cream". "Well, I love you more than going to Six Flags". This can go on for hours. Well, yesterday Chloe wrote on her bulletin "Are you okay with me loving God more?" Of course, baby!

Mommy's little pumpkins

What a beautiful weekend! Highs were in the 60s, and the sun was shining. Perfect for pumpkin hunting! Thank you to Josh and Adrianne (the professional artists) for having us over for pumpkin carving. We had a great time!

Let's Go Blues!

Thank you again to Josh, Adrianne and Ann for babysitting while Mel, Sean, Chuck and I went to the Blues game last night. We had excellent seats. 3 rows up from the "field". We saw a pretty good game. The Blues smoked the Wild. Here are some more pics from the game. You can see us pretty well in photos # 24 and 28.

I saw this car driving down the Page Extension today. It is one of the goofiest looking cars I have seen in a while.

Miss my puppies :(

Chunk like icecream!

Ever since Chloe went bowling with camp last summer, she has been begging us to go back. I'm not a huge fan of bowling, so it has taken us a while to fulfill her desire. We actually had a pretty good time. Note our terrible scores and keep in mind that we had the BUMPERS up! I have to mention, however that my score was a community score. Charlie threw a couple balls for me, and then when he couldn't sit still any more we took a walk. While we were gone, the girls took turns throwing for me. Chuck has no excuse, though. HaHa! Good times, good times. Like everyone's hiney shots?

How can you not cheer this woman on?

I'm not usually a huge (pardon the pun) Biggest Loser fan. I just happened to tune in and fell in love with this contestant. If you haven' read her storey... do so here: http://www.nbc.com/the-biggest-loser/contestants/current_cast/abby/index.shtml



In short, she lost her entire family in a car accident. Her husband, 5 year old daughter and 2 week old son were all killed in a head on crash in 2006. She talks about how she had to learn to "survive", then began "existing" and just recently has started "living" again. If all of this doesn't make her your fave... she is also from TEXAS! Just a bonus! You go girl!

Chloe's "Daisy Team" visited the fire house tonight. The girls had a blast and the firefighters were so accommodating. Thanks guys!

Happy 20 month b-day, Charlie

Happy Birthday, Chuck!

A few friends and I went to the Cardinal Game last week. We had fantastic seats that included the buffet. Wonderful food, great game and as always... awsome friends. Thanks for the tickets, Dr. Lenke! These pictures don't do our seats justice. I was so close that I was on TV. Yup, Chuck saw every free beer that I had!

St. Louis is such a beautiful city.

Did she make it?????

Swoosh!

My poor baby boy has Hand Foot and Mouth disease. Actually, he acts pretty much his usual. His appetite is a little decreased, and maybe he is a little crankier, but or the most part, he is himself. He just can't go back to the babysitter until all of his sores are gone. GGRRR!

My beautiful baby girl.

First Day of First Grade!!

MoMo's

The FAC: Fat Ass Club, formerly known as the Food Adventure Club has struck again. Wanna be member? The password is "Naked Belly Dancer". Apparently that is how you get in the secret door at MoMo's, anyway :) The food was dyn-o-mite! The waiter (see top pic) was H-O-T, and Michelle enjoyed the belly dancing, even if it wasn't naked. we ate spokokopoakpoita, lamb kabobs, sea bass, beef kabobs, gyros, crab cakes, lots of olives and of course, baklava! Although kinda far away, I think we would all go back.
