Let’s Start This Thing

November 29, 2006 by Elaine

So I have decided to start a blog for our growing family since it seems to be the thing to do and I have to keep up with times, right?! I will have to experiment with how this works, so we shall see how it goes.

The most exciting thing to talk about is how wonderful my newphew Daniel is doing at home and how nice it was to be able to hug and cuddle him over the Thanksgiving weekend!! He’s such a little sweetie. Talk about something to be Thankful for!! Here’s a picture of the little guy with his eyes open (this does not happen very much at this stage!) He’s a sweet one and he very much resembles his big sister Grace.

When we got home we came home to a yard and driveway full of leaves and after Tim loaded them into 9 bags it was time to watch more “fall!” Our oak tree is pretty much empty but the Bradford pear has yet to drop all of it’s leaves and although pretty, it is our nemesis at this time of the year. I assume after the cold weather that is supposed to arrive later this week, we should have nothing better to do than to gather the rest.

Here’s a picture of Ben enjoying the leaves…
