Where has this month gone?!?

I can't believe that it's Thanksgiving and then Christmas. I have NOT.ONE.PRESENT.PURCHASED!!!! Thank heaven for online shopping!! We've had a crazy last couple of weeks . . . Grace got the worst stomach flu of her life. She was sick literally every 10 minutes and ended up popping blood vessels in her eye because she was so sick. As of right now I'm home with Caden and he also has the stomach flu. Poor little baby.

We were supposed to go to the ranch for Thanksgiving, but that fell through yesterday. One of my dad and Chris's hunting buddies passed away down at the ranch yesterday. The funeral will be some time this week so I know that we will be attending that one. Richard used to teach with Phil and one was one of the hunters that I've know for as long as I can remember. He will be missed. There are only two of the original hunters left on the lease now. Very sad.

School PIcs . . .

Grace is getting retakes because I don't like the gap in the front. I'm not quite sure why the photographer had her lean so far forward, but I LOVE the smile on Caden :)

Thomas at Love and War . . .

We went to go hear our friend Thomas Michael Riley sing last night at Love and War in Texas with some of our friends. He is such an awesome performer!! This is him in the middle. Chris uploaded a video on his face book of our favorite song, "Tommy".

Halloween 2008

We had a great time this Halloween. We went to the Ross's house for a fun adult party which Chris and I dressed up as Chucky and The Bride of Chucky. For those of you who know Chris well, you should be able to understand the "Chuck" pun :)

We ordered Grace and Caden's costumes online this year in the full-time working mommy way of doing things :) Grace's costume was titled "Garden Fairy" and Caden's was a "Warrior Knight". Perfect . . . until the costumes came in the mail. Grace's is adorable, but a bare midriff for an 8 year old?!? I think not. I was scared that Caden would be scared of the warrior part of his costume (teeth on hat, skull and crossbones, etc.) but he loved it. Ha!
