Thanksgiving 2008

Not much time to write....but here are a few sets of pictures from the past month.

We had a great time with the Aberle crew over Thanksgiving -- we're so lucky that everyone traveled to Denver this year!! Click here for pictures.

ALSO, since I didn't take many pictures of the girls over Halloween, here is Laurie's Kodak album. The girls and I took our first road trip without Daddy to SD at the end of October. Stella ended up getting croup while we were there, and she was soooo miserable on Halloween. I didn't even put her costume on...poor kid. Soph and Sash had a blast trick or treating with their cousins, and I was pleasantly surprised it didn't blizzard while we were there.

Sophia's Story

Not to be outdone by little sis, here is Sophia's Voice Thread.

Mornings with Sasha

Since Sasha and I get to spend our mornings together while Soph is at school and Stella is napping, we have a lot of time to try out new things....such as new computer programs! Here is a sampling of our latest venture.

I'll have another one soon, so Sophia can tell her OWN story. :-)

School Pics 2008

Sophia's school pictures are in from her ECE 4 class!

Pumpkins!!!!!

We had a great time carving pumpkins over the weekend. As a kid, it was definitely my least favorite holiday activity (second only to having to decorate a bazillion Christmas sugar cookies for my mom every year)....the pumpkin smell and the mess grossed me out. Plus, I usually managed to screw up my pumpkin somehow before it was time to display it.

Well this year it was actually fun...the smell and mess don't hold a candle to the things I clean up on a daily basis anymore. The girls were really into it, but they also thought the pumpkins stunk and were"ewwwwwey".

Here are some more pictures.

Presenting...Sasha

Bundled Up!

Here are a couple of pics of Stella after her brisk run with Michael! She caught a little shut-eye and was toasty warm when he took her out of the stroller. Next time, I think I'll wear her outfit and have Michael push me around the neighborhood for an hour.
