We took a trip to DC a couple of weeks ago to meet Rachael McQue, Teresa’s and Dave’s new daughter.  Of course she was beautiful.  While we were up there, we went to a local park, and Sarah wanted to wear her Pocahontas costume.  She did get some interesting looks while people wondered if she was really Native American or something.  Anyway, the pictures came out pretty good, so I thought I would share them here.

Today we are in day one of a nor’easter that is expected to last three or four days.  Yikes!  And since it is Veteran’s day, I have the day off and so does Sarah (but Suzanne does not).  Therefore, we have been playing hide and seek, duck duck goose, coloring, writing words, watching movies, and just snuggling.  Not a bad way to spend a day off, huh?

Halloween for her started on Friday at school [...]]]> Sarah does love Halloween.  And it’s not just the candy.  Although I don’t see how we can possibly eat all this candy for at least another year or two.  No, what Sarah loves about Halloween is the dressing up in costume and playing with her friends.

Halloween for her started on Friday at school when they did a Halloween parade.  First we met in her classroom where her whole class sang some songs for us.  Then the whole school got in a line and walked down the street in front of her school.  A few people driving by honked their horns in appreciation (we walked on the sidewalk–not down the middle of the street).  I took an hour off work just to see it.  Very adorable!

Friday night we went to a party next door with our good friends Sarah and Jerremy, and their daughter Hailey and their son Cole.  ”Little” Sarah and Hailey are just about best friends, and play together a lot.  Our neighbors from the other side also came with their two kids, Bella and Alex.  The kids also did crafts, played games, and had a lot of fun.

Then on Saturday, Sarah dressed up as Ariel from the Little Mermaid for Trick or Treating.  They went to all the houses in the neighbor hood and brought back some serious loot.  I stayed home to hand out candy.

Do stop by the gallery to see the rest of the Halloween pictures (seven total).

Let’s see, what have we been up to?  We are planning a Disney vacation for the end of May.  Skip [...]]]> Ok, Ok, I know.  It’s been for….ev…er since I last posted.  Shame on me.  I’ll have to not let that happen again.  But I think I have some pictures that you will like here.

Let’s see, what have we been up to?  We are planning a Disney vacation for the end of May.  Skip just got back from a business trip to Japan and Hawaii.  We are also planning a Key West vacation for August.  Skip’s new job is doing great with plenty of work to keep him busy now.  Suzanne is still teaching at Old Dominion and will be for some time apparently.  And Sarah is doing great at her Montessori school.

So that’s about it.  Click here for the rest of the images.

I got the new Android G1 phone from t-Mobile and I can now (hopefully, if everything works correctly) post to my blog right from my phone. So stay tuned for more family updates.
