Brief update


Raquel enjoys Thanksgiving dinner.



AS does Kaitlyn, our mondo turkey leg girl. THat's pretty much all she ate.



And here's most of the rest of us!

Winter has arrived, and we are enjoying taking advantage of it. The kids and I made an affectionate snow child and mother with the incredibly packable snow that fell this first night last week.







Raquel, Sierra, and puppy Kaitlyn show off smiles and stylish threads.


Our gimpy carrots join a smurf watermelon (not his real name), cucumbers, and several tomatoes.



The bountiful Ripplinger corn harvest is best represented by this fine specimen. The kernels were, actually, tasty.



During a trip to nearby Detroit for a cardiac radiology conference, Matt and the girls enjoyed a run down to the hotel pool (visible here only to Raquel and Kaitlyn).

I love that picture of Kaitlyn attacking the turkey leg! How hilarious. Your Thanksgiving get-up looks really nice. I'm glad it was a fun day.

And I do love the cute snowmen.

Your vegetables made me giggle, and your kids as always are adorable. We put the card you made for Aaron on our fridge- so cute! I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving.

I would imagine that the Meijer folks wouldn't want their bucket used in that picture! And I'm glad that you enjoyed all three of those kernels; too bad there wasn't enough for everyone to have one! And the smurf watermellon was too much! What a funny blog!
