The Aftermath

Our first snowfall of the year. You can see Brinkley's footprints everywhere; she was enjoying the snow as I scooped it off the walk.

LET IT SNOW

We are getting our first snow storm of the year tonight. Here is a photo of the start to the snow and I will try to get one tomorrow to show the accumulation. Welcome to Winter in Spokane.

Ready for Christmas

I am READY. I love Christmas and as you can see the house is decorated. I actually did this last weekend...I know before Thanksgiving...but we were having company after Thanksgiving and I wanted the house to look nice. I had a great time doing it and Andy really likes it. Now...I should get on to that shopping thing; I am not finished with that. I thought I would share with those of you what the house looks like for Christmas since I know we will not all be together over the holidays.

Happy Thanksgiving

Family and Friends:
Andy and I just wanted to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. We hope you are filled to the brim by the end of it all and that you have many wonderful moments with those you spend the day with.

In Sweet Loving Memory

"I sometimes feel I'm so alone and though we now are far apart you hold a big piece of my heart. I never knew how much I'd grieve when it was time for you to leave, or just how much my heart would ache from that one fragment you would take. God lets this tender hole remain reminding me we'll meet again, and one day all the pain will cease when He restores the missing piece."

We love and miss you dad more than you will ever know. Mom, please know our thoughts are with you always...today now more than ever. We love you so very much.

Happy 4th Birthday Brinkley

Today is Brinkley's 4th Birthday, which we always celebrate with a big chew bone. As you can see from the bottom photo she was quite excited (sorry about the crazy eyes). I think she enjoyed her gift.

A beautiful day with my hubby

I have been wanting to take some pictures with Andy and we have not had any "professional" photos done since our wedding. I have a good friend who is starting to do photography and we met up with her today. Here are some of the photos. She has an amazing talent.
