Thanks Joey

You're the best God-fah-jah ever!

My Girls!

A trip through the Holiday light show at Tradewinds Park. We're not sure if she was more excited about the lights or not having to ride in the car seat. (Dad)

The Star!

According to Grandma Cav this is the star that her mom had on their tree while she was growing up.
But then.. Aunt Teresa has the star and so does Tom and Aunt Marcy and Don and Ellyn and Mary and
Doc and Laura and Ira...

All Shook Up

We're finished, they look so nice.
No Sophie, you can't eat the ornaments.
Where does this one go?
So much fun!

Home again, home again

On the plane ride out to Minnesota Sophie discovered the safety information card. Maybe we need to add flight attendant to the poll question. Nah, pilot -or better yet, astronaut!

For Sophie's b-day buddy Calysta. Proof that we were in your state -only long enough to go from one gate to another in the Memphis airport, but still, we thought of you. We miss you.

As always, Sophie is far more interested in pushing the stroller than in actually riding in it.

Uncle Ray and Cousin Ryan, return from the slopes.

Ray: "It was so hot there, ahhh."
Ryan: "Are you talking about me?"
Ray: "Well, us, yeah."
Ryan: "Who needs modesty when you can have honesty?"

Our Florida Girl

Sophie was far more interested in the airplanes flying overhead than in her first taste of key lime pie. Oh well, more for us!

And you've got to love that it's November and we're still running around in skirts and tank tops!
