One More Game

Sunday is the last game of the outdoor soccer season for this year.

It has been so cold - I can't wait.

I'm glad that she is putting those gloves that I bought her to good use. NOT!

Tripping? Apparently NOT! No whistle.

Indoor season is now in full swing, but Amanda has decided to only play occasionally.

A little break from sports for now.......

Bubble Bath

Coke had her first trip to the groomer for a bubble bath, nail trim and fur - cut!

Pretty Pup.

Halloween

Here is Amanda dressed up as a TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle).

This was for spirit week at school.

Halloween was different with Jacob being so far away this year.

First time in 20 years that I haven't had a child go Trick-or-Treating.

Amanda opted for attending a party on the 31st instead.

Somehow, I'm sure that Jacob and Hannah found a party (or two) on Halloween also.

This was a child's size medium costume. The biggest "Turtle" we could find.

I cut the legs off and she used them as leggings.

There is a big shell on her back and it also had a mask.

This is about as creative as I get.

Spring Street

The house on Spring Street. My grandparents purchased this home many many years ago. They raised their five daughters here and my Mom raised my sis, bro and I here also. I always dreamed of marrying the boy from next door, raising about 4 four kids and staying here forever.

This is what the home looks like now............

I actually met the current owners and was lucky enough to get a tour last summer.

Funny, how life doesn't always go as planned in childhood dreams.
