Halloween

Getting ready for some pumpkin carving.
Lark is braving the slimy pumpkin innards. She carved much of her own pumpkin this year and was very proud of the result.

Tom:-).

Marianne and Patrick stopped by to say hi. Marianne's helping with Lark's eyeshadow for her gypsy costume. Eyeshadow, and makeup in general, is not my forte.

Close up of Larky Lou.

Lark the gypsy with Alice the lobster on her first Halloween!

My last minute costume. Lark asked me earier in the day what I was going to be and was sad when I told her I wasn't going to be anything. She said she LOVES it when I dress up. Who knew?

We made our annual pilgrimage to St. Paul to trick or treat with the Johnson's. Meredith and I held down the fort with Alice while Matt, Tom, Lark, Jack (left) and Cole (right) went around the neighborhood. A good time was had by all.

Twins Playoff Game: October 7th

We couldn't have ask for better weather for the Twins playoff game. It was about 70 degrees and sunny. Not too shabby for a fall night in Minneapolis. A local radio station gave away Pavano mustaches before the game. Very fun! This was the first game I went to without Alice. It was pretty nice to have the night off from nursing and to get really into the the game.

This photo of Lark with her Pavano mustache was on the big screen as one of the Qwest pictures of the game. Unfortunately, Tom and Lark were grabbing something to eat when it came up so I was the only one who saw it!

Happy Birthday June!

June is 1 today! Yay!

Long Overdue Photos


Dublin at my birthday.

Alice. Happy as usual.

Checking out the camera.


Huh?


Lark helping Grandpa Don cut branches off of the pine tree in our front yard.

She's up about 12 feet off the ground on the ladder!


Lark and Alice hanging out in the front yard.






Alice looked cute in the Quaker box, but isn't quite ready to
be pushed around the house in it. Vroom! Vroom!
