Happy Pumpkin Carving Step by Step

You Can Take What You Can Carry!

Jack and Molly went five times to Lake View Farms just to ride the train. Hey--it's local and cheaper than the zoo train. Jack is all about trains!! A little boy's dream!

This is our trip as a family. It was a beautiful sunny day and no one had a melt down. Success in my book these days.

Rule of the Day: You can have any pumpkin you want. As long as you can carry it back TO THE CAR by yourself!! Jeff and Hannah switched pumpkins about 4 times.

What should we be?

So many choices and only one Halloween. We had a hard time choosing. These are just the few we got pictures of . . .












and yes, we are your 37 year old girl scout and 35 year old boy scout. (Thank you Suzi for pointing out we're both older than orginally posted. I'm losin' it!) Lovin' Ben's knees!

Ocular Inferior Oblique Something or Other

The day has finally arrived for Jack's eye surgery. It was early . . . 6:00am. He had great docs and fabulous nurses. It went really well. He came out of the anethesia a bit crazed, but eventually calmed down. He was a bit lethargic and thirsty today. His eye swelled a bit and it will be black for awhile. I'm grateful it's over and we really appreciate all the prayers, thoughts, and kindness.

BEFORE

ALL MOST THERE

Jack told the nurses in recovery, "I done. I bye, bye."

Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust ONLY!

We are happy to report that there are no "Molly's" on their way this time. I made absolutely sure it was not happening again.

Molly and Jack also made sure I never sat longer than 2 minutes, never ate a meal without 10 interuptions, never made it through a show or movie without taking one of them out, never took them to child care without them screaming for so long they had to page us back. They were at the WRONG age to take them on this trip. WRONG!

But we did have some fun times with the fam.

Daddy and Baby Girl!

Keepin' it cool!

My Family!

Me and My Sisters!

St. Thomas

Hannah showing off her jelly fish sting . . . very sad!

He wouldn't go to child care . . . what's worse??

A girl just needs a little beauty sleep!

The Crazed Couple

The whole fam damily (minus the swine flu victims)



The food was awesome! The service was so kind, patient and accomodating. The company was hilarious! Mickey was adorable especially when Molly would scream, "Mickey". It was warm, sunny and I didn't have to cook. But I have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER been so happy to be home. That flight was LONG!!
