October 28

I am so glad this day is over. I love that our church has an annual Halloween party for the kids/families. Our kids enjoy it. We don't have to go door to door on the actual Halloween day. That's great - but I HATE the huge crowd! This was, however, the most enjoyable year for me. We did trunk or treating and the weather was surprisingly warm. Not shorts and t-shirt warm, but it wasn't snowing/raining like it has in years past! LOL

Here are my kiddos in age order. My sister has some very very cute pictures of Joseph in an Old Navy chicken costume that I'll post when she sends to me. We took him in Blue's Clues tonight because the chicken costume was too hot for my chub-a-luba!!

Took a few snapshots of some of the kids last night. They are such cheeseballs! I hate it when they see the camera come out and get all goofy! LOL

Here's Megan, being a pirate I guess! ha!

Jaynie with a nice boog-spaghetti combo going on! Ewww!

Malorie, who really does smile like this!
When she looked at the picture on the camera she wanted to take another one with her eyes "a little bit opener"...and this is what we got - MUCH better! ha

And just for fun - here Megan's handy work with the camera. Mom and the girlies!

Keeping in touch -

What are the odds that I'll really keep this up? LOL I've realized though, that we have several good friends and dear family members who don't live close enough to us to really keep up with our goings on. Since I'm so sure they are all dying to know what we're up to, I thought I'd create, and attempt to upkeep, a "famiLee" blog for them.

Of course I don't have anything of interest to share at the moment. I'll try to get a few pictures of the kids and the house in the next day or so to post.

Rest assured that we are all doing well. The kids are happy and healthy (knock on wood). School is going great. The house is coming along. Life is very good!


Just for fun, here is a picture we took a couple of weeks ago while we were roofing the house. Gives some idea of how mammoth this thing is!! I think there are a couple of Brandon's brothers, Justin & James, and their uncle Bruce...my nephew Shane, and our friend Mike Wilhelm. It was just nauseating watching them walk around up there, but it's done!! We've been so lucky and blessed to have such wonderful weather...this is very much NOT the norm for this time of year!
