Looks Like a White Christmas!

Only two days to go and it is looks like we are going to have a white Christmas !

You Caught Me !

Maggie was caught red handed tearing apart the Christmas Decorations ! She has been a handful this year, and doesn't really care about the naughty or nice list yet. Maybe we will have better luck next year.

2008 Christmas Tree

After a long and exhausting search in frigid temperatures. Annie and Emily picked out and decorated our 2008 Christmas Tree ... I think they did a great job !

Ahh .. yes ... the holiday lights !

After lots of cursing ... the Christmas lights were put up ... need to thaw myself out for a few days now. Every year I ask myself ... why haven't I moved to Florida yet ?

You'll shoot your thigh out kid !

We need to stop giving idiots like Plaxico Burress money. Is there really a need to carry thousands of dollars and to wear hundreds of thousands worth of jewelry out to go to a club. Who are you trying to impress ? You are already an NFL player on a world championship team. If that doesn't impress people ... do you really think the $$ and jewelry will? Total Jackass !

Maggie's Unique Way to Crawl !

Happy 1st Birthday Maggie & Beck !

Talk about looking like they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Here are Maggie and Beck enjoying their first taste of birthday cake.

President Obama

Barack Obama supporters were partying well into the night for his hard fought victory. Historic in that he will become our nations first African-American President however I think most people are just happy that it signifies the beginning of the end of George W. Bush's presidency.

At least with me ... I was OK with either McCain or Obama ... either way the country wins.

Hopefully this nasty red state, blue state, liberal, conservative crap ends. Its time we all become Americans.

VOTE TODAY !

I did my part . Now do yours . No matter what candidate you favor ...get out and vote !

Soccer Season Ends Today !

Emily made it through her first soccer season. All in all it was a great season !

Happy Halloween !

Happy Halloween from our little chicken !

October at Newton Lake

Just another beautiful fall day here at Newton Lake. Of course this is the official beginning to the long winters we have here in Northeast PA. Spoke to my neighbors yesterday, and we said our farewells ... we will see them again in April or May ... whenever our hibernation ends.

Terrell Pryor Wishing he went to Penn State !

Actions speak louder than words. Here is Terrell Pryor Wishing he went to Penn State !

Pumpkin Patch 2008

Made our annual trek to the Pumpkin Patch, but it was our first trip with Maggie. All the girls had a great time and mom and dad did too. Click here to see more photos.

Nice Job Annie !

Annie worked hard this weekend on her solar system project. Lots of painting, cutting and glueing, but she pulled it off. Mom and dad helped and Emily helped too by keeping Maggie from eating the planets.

Maggie's thinks she's funny !

Here is Maggie trying to be funny :(

Eleven months old and already she is giving dad a hard time !

Go Emily Go !

Here is Emily making her move on the soccer field. Her team tied today, but it was a perfect day for soccer !
