Fun in the snow

The boys sure like to stick close to their favorite sister (oh yea there's daddy shoveling in the back ground of course there are none of mom since she's taking the pictures)

Our new baby Stuart seems to like the snow

Emme helping clean of the van, she is her mommy's little helper

Drewbee all bundled up for the cold

Clee and Stuart (Clee was having a bad day normally he is thrilled to be outside regardless of the weather but he was out of school all last week and he really misses his school)

Andrew and Stuart

My new Granddog

Emme is certainly hooked

This is Stuart he is a bichon-poo and he seems to be fitting in just perfectly I can't wait to meet this little guy!

Thought I'd Beat Andrew to the Punch

You've probably all seen this as it was sent to me via email a couple of days ago enjoy (I can so see this coming out of Andrew's mouth):

This one is for everyone who...
a) has kids
b) had kids
c) was a kid
d) knows a kid
e) is going to have kids.
I guess that means all of us!!

DADDY'S GONNA EAT YOUR FINGERS

I was packing for my business trip and my three year old daughter
was having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At one point she
said,'Daddy, look at this' , and stuck out two of her fingers.

Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her tiny
fingers in my mouth and said,
'Daddy's gonna eat your fingers,'
pretending to eat them.

I went back to packing, looked up again and my daughter was standing
on the bed staring at her fingers with a devastated look on her face.

I said, 'What's wrong, honey?'

She replied,
'What happened to my booger?'

Happy Birthday Pam (and me)

My sister Pam and my birthdays are fairly close so we shared a birthday party on Super Bowl Sunday. She made me cut the cake and I forgot to take the picture until after I started cutting (Ooooops). Happy Birthday tomorrow Pam!!!!!

The Kids on Christmas

Here are some pictures of the kids and the gifts I left there when I was there at Thanksgiving.
I got Emme a combination alarm clock, radio and CD player I hope she enjoys it.
I left my old camera there for Emme, I hope she gets some use of it (it has been a little temperamental I hear)
I got Clee a toy that lights up makes noise and just entertains it looks like he likes it.
Drew, I hope that you like that the guitar is green

Mom bought the matching shirts aren't we festive?Chuck & PamRich & LynnMe at Pam and Chuck's House. Mom wouldn't let me take anymore pictures of her so the one of the three of us is it.

Most Recent Trip to Visit the Kids

Well I guess I have neglected my blog long enough so here are a few pictures from my most recent trip back east for Drew's Birthday and Thanksgiving.

Drew and his drum set he got from Grammy and Papa for his birthday.
Clee on Thanksgiving
Emme and her cousin Jackson on Thanksgiving as you can see the weather was great. I had a great time with the kids, Most everybody played Rock Band most of the day but as you can see we did get some time outside with the kids. And as usual the trip was much to short.
