Winter Coat Time

Is it really time for winter coats, hats, and mittens? The 20* windchills said it was this morning! Carter wasn't sure about the whole mitten thing, but once he saw Ryan with his on, he did agree to keep his on as well. Sometimes peer pressure isn't a bad thing!!!!

Brrrrr!!!!!!

I woke up to window-rattling 50 mph winds today. I opened the garage door to get the Sunday paper and there it was...the first snowfall of the year. Not sure how well the flakes show up in the photos, but they were large and falling fast. I am NOT ready for snow yet - especially after enjoying a gorgeous 60* day yesterday!!!

Number Cruncher

I handed my calculator over to Carter today - I figured he could make as much sense out of today's economy as any of us!

Our Star

I took these as we were leaving on the morning of his Star of the Day presentation at school. He was so excited!! We sent a video camera and they taped it for us - he did great! Way to go, buddy!

Kiss Anyone?

Chocolate granola bars and Carter....now there's a combination! Look at that mug!

Winter Home

They're in - safe and sound! Almost all fall projects are coming to a close outside...maybe just in time with the looks of the weather forecast!

Family Photos

Our neighbor and photographer, Mandy Birdwell, took our family photos on a crisp, cool fall morning. Wouldn't you know it, Carter had picked the night before to be up all night? That's what happens for picture day, Mandy assured me! Overall, I thought they turned out well. Here are some of the shots she took:
