October 2009

I decided I did not want to deal with mud again this winter.

So, the old step was hauled away. The Bobcat was employed, much to the girls delight and entertainment. And a sidewalk was installed. Along with new steps, a railing, and some more sod.

Sorry, no actual pictures of the completed project!

One afternoon, I was missing Alfy's. Last summer, I brought home a menu.

Here is my "pirated" version of Alfy's Chicken Alfredo pizza.

As good as the real thing!

A friend of mine from high school was visiting, and was even kind enough to call! We spent the evening with her family.

The kids had a great time playing together.

She has twin girls and a little boy.

Jeannie

Jeannie's dad with Melania and Mishayla.

Melania will never turn down an opportunity to snuggle!

Sylvester has not made an appearance on the blog lately.

However, here he is. Just as long-suffering as ever!

We celebrated Grandma's birthday at Hugh and Carmen's completed house!

My birthday was a couple of days earlier, and Carmen graciously saved me some pumpkin cheesecake.

The "birthday girl"!

The kids did a great job singing to Grandma with great enthusiasm!

Kaitlyn has been coming over to play periodically.

I was not home for this game, which seems to involve a swimming pool in the living room.

Mishayla's 23 months!

Kaitlyn is 20 months old.

Potty training with Dora!

Mark, Brenda and family were out to visit.

Was great to see you again!

We were invited to a Halloween party at Philip and Alisha's.

The kids dressed up, ate pizza and went trick or treating. A good time was had by all!

Kaitlyn and Kenzie (both very close to Mishayla's age! )

Lars H.

Somewhere between 19 and 21 kids total!

Mishayla was a pink butterfly.

Melania was Princess Aurora. (Her favorite!)

I can't believe I'm raising a princess.
