Thanksgiving Day

Don't they look happy. It must have been because I feed them all. This is my grandmother. She looks pretty good for 90.

The big guy himself

It is now officially the Christmas season when Santa shows up.

Ashleigh was in Cow Heaven

We kept telling Ashleigh that cows were not in parades. Well I guess Chik-fil-a proved me wrong.

My next dog

Isn't my next dog beautiful. Just kidding. This was the Great Dane rescue club. They were beautiful.

Clarice

This is Clarice, who is one of my friend's daughter. She seemed to enjoy herself.

Santa's Helper

Since Paul was not in the other picture I had to take one of him so everyone would know he was there also.

Ashleigh and Louis

Here is Ashleigh and her "boyfriend" Louis at the parade. Ashleigh used to play softball with Louis's sister Danielle. They had a great time at the parade.

Gee Dad is it really cold?

My dad seemed to think it was extermely cold. It really wasn't that bad. We have been to parades where it has been colder.

Grand Illumination parade

This was the parade in downtown Norfolk that kicks off the holiday season. Ashleigh's friends meet us down there. The people from left to right
First row-Unknown child, Clarice, Danielle, Danielle's stepdad,
Second row- Sarah, Stacey, Helena, Ashleigh, Louis
Third row-Mom, Aunt Cathy, and Dad

He and I dance

Sarah and Paul went to the Girl Scouts He and I dance on Friday night. Paul bought Sarah a corsage and had his hair cut. Sarah was happy because her daddy danced one dance with her. Which by the way is the same number that he has danced with me.

PTA state convention

See conventions can be fun. Just not that night. The person in the picture with me is my friend and PTA president Myrna Smith. We traveled up to NVA for the convention and stayed at my sister. I really enjoyed myself.

Who's the little kid

Can you tell which one is two?

Ashleigh's braces

Here is the first round of braces for Ashleigh. She has six brackets and her expander still in. She goes to have them tightened on 12/21/05. She says she will get red, white and green rubberbands on that visit.

Ashleigh's Art

This year Ashleigh has been able to take electives. She gets one elective per grading period. Her first elective was art. Here are some of her pictures that she brought home.

Brain Freeze

This is what happens when you give a baby an ice cream cake of his own.

Devil and her spawn

You did not know the devil was a woman huh? No that's just one of my best friends and her beautiful baby. He(Nicholas) turned 1 on the 27th so what a better birthday party than a costume party. Yes his mother is wearing a costume much to everyone's disbelief.

Happy Halloween

Here are my trick or treaters. Ashleigh was a purple morning cow and Sarah was a baby. She kept changing her mind during the day as to what she wanted to be.
