Happy Birthday to Me

We celebrated my birthday last week with my family. Mother had a yummy supper for me.

Katie Lee feeding baby Caroline.

I am thankful that our family was able to be together.  

Halloween

This year we had a great time at our Halloween party with our friends from church.  Katie Lee was a beautiful mermaid and Daniel was a sea turtle.

I decided last minute to dress up and Donnie was all about being a minion.

Vampire Langdon was too cute.

By the end of the party, the little boys left were ready to have the best time.  They were so excited to run around.

Finally a Gallery Wall

For a long time now, I have wanted a gallery wall at the top of the stairs. I had the pictures and the frames, but never took the time to get it done. A few weeks ago, I finally got it all together. With help from Mother we got it hung.  I used old wrapping paper as our guide paper.  This was such a help.

I love how it turned out.  I added several pieces to the table to finish it  and I love how it turned out.

While we were busy hanging pictures, Katie Lee and Daniel we just as busy playing in the play room.

and singing to us

Fun Run

Katie Lee recently participated in a fun run at her school. It was a one mile run around the neighborhood close to her school.  She was SO NERVOUS!!!  She did great, of course.

And they're off.

Daniel waiting at the finish line.  He really wanted to run too.

Here she comes.

After some water she was all smiles.

All of her classmates who ran.
