Everyone made the honor roll

We couldn't be any happier, all 3 kids made the honor roll the first quarter of the school year.

We had parent teacher conferences last week and left them feeling like we had not only the smartest but the best kids in the world. We have a lot to be thankful for.

You make us proud Joe, Hailey and Alexis!

Happy Halloween

Pumpkin Carving

On Wednesday since there was a snow day from school we took the extra time to carve our pumpkins. These are pictures of the gang at the kitchen table cleaning out the pumpkins.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Alexis' 3rd Grade Music Program

Tonight Was Alexis' 3rd Grade Music Program!
The entire elementary school had a special visitor from Australia a few weeks ago and
the 3rd graders incorporated what they learned from him into their music program. As you
can see they all looked like true Aussie's with their hats!

Alexis is a ham on stage and loves to perform!

Update on Joe's Hand

The news wasn't what we were hoping from Joe's CT of his hand. It turns out the he definitely broke a piece of his hand and he now has to see a hand specialist for surgery.

To make it worse his appointment isn't until December 1st. That was the earliest we could get him in. He is still currently playing football, the playoffs started today. He played with his brace on. He is also going to baseball practice he just isn't able to catch for now. Please keep him in your prayers, he is so bummed as we are too. We hope for a speedy recovery and he can get back to what he loves - Catching!

Happy 12th Birthday Hailey

Since I was already on the blog posting Joe's Swine Flu news I decided to take a second to wish an early Happy 12th Birthday to Hailey tomorrow on Tuesday, October 20th - She is growing so quickly.

No longer a little girl but a young lady - a PRE-TEEN!
I will post some pictures as she is at our house this weekend!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROWN EYED GIRL!
