Grandpa Wood

We had a nice visit from Grandpa Wood this past weekend. I put him right to work with connecting the Wii that we've had for a year and not used. We had a nice time just hanging out in the living teaching the boys how to use the controllers and also good sportsmanship. Grandpa held the girls a lot and was just fun to have around. Zach went with us to the airport and was very sad when Grandpa left but was reassured when I told him that we would get to see him soon in Virginia. Thanks Dad for the visit and for being a good Grandpa to have that effect after only a few days. We love you!

Happy Thanksgiving 2008

We had Thanksgiving dinner early since Dad came to visit this past weeknd. As you can see in the video it was a pretty yummy meal:) On the menu: turkey, cranberry sauce, dressing and gravy all prepared by Dad; chocolate velvet pie, my mom's famous cheeseball, green bean casserole, sweet potato souffle, noodles and mashed potatoes prepared by me; pumpkin pie by Marie Callendar and cherry pie by Sara Lee. Good eats!

Smiley Miley!

Miley is finally smiling at 2 months....just in time for Grandpa Wood's visit!

Halloween 2008

Josh and Zach have not figured out *yet* that they don't have to use the same costume every year. Of course, I haven't informed them of that either since they're so content with what they already have. I did make Allie's tutu which they all thought was so neat! She was a princess and couldn't stop saying it. Her crown came with a Barbie movie which made it even more exciting for her. They all looked after each other and made sure to say "thank you" in addition to "trick or treat." Miley tagged along too in her sleepy wrap. I was happy to take them...the weather was predicted to be perfect....as in no rain. Boy was everyone surprised when it did rain! Fortunately it didn't last long and didn't stop us. Miley stayed covered and I got to enjoy seeing the kids so happy and having fun....plus they shared chocolate with me:)
