The Pre- Halloween Celebrations.

Blake after eating a bat shaped sugar cookie. You've got to love the indulgences of youth.
Going through the loot they brought home from Trunk or Treating at church.
Chris was the creepy guy that scared me, the poor innocent trick or treater. You can see in his eyes that he was really getting into the part. he he!

Note from Peter

I am taking the liberty of copying Peter's message to the main page, so no one misses it. :)

Hello everyone! I'm happy to say that today, I finally finished installing a new screen door on the house. Needless to say that Grandma is happy to have it in. (it's a retractable door like Chris and Lisa have)

Recently I have been reading the origanal Sherlock Holmes books written by Sir Arthur Coanan Doyle. I find them to be very interesting, especially since they were written a century ago. I would recomend them to just about anyone. They are fairly easy to read and many of them are rather short and can easily be read in one day.

I spoke to Tyler on Saturday and he is doing well. He is involved in a Police Explorer program in Redding and will be going on ride alongs with police officers soon. It should be very exciting for him and a good experience especially since he is thinking of going into that line of work.

Update from Chris

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am off to the land of chocolates, and waffles again. Yes, I am going to Brussels again this week, leaving Sunday, back home Friday. Hopefully the weather won't be too cold and rainy! Take care everyone.

Posting required

Just a friendly reminder to all of you to post something on this blog. It is not too difficult. (go to "new post," type in your info, browse your pictures, upload and publish! Or call me for help.) You know you have some pictures that you want to share... so do it. I really do not want to feel as though we are monopolizing this thing with just our family. YOU SHOULD ALSO BE AWARE THAT USING BLACK MAIL PICTURES OF YOU UNTIL YOU POST SOMETHING IS NOT BELOW MY STANDARDS. SO POST, OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!!!

New York City

We had a great time in the Big Apple with lots of activities. We were able to see The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Central Park, Time Square, The Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge. We also were able to enjoy a Broadway show as well as lots of great food. We have many pictures, but I figured this was enough to suffice for now.
