Dana Carvey

Note the smile on Nathan in this picture. He does it all of the time. It looks like Dana Carvey. Soo funny! We haven't heard anything about the house yet. We had our first meeting with them but they did not give us an offer yet. We have drawn up a contract to present them with when they do make an offer. I really hope that we get a decent price of it and that all negotiations go well. I will keep you all posted!

My little Lion

So here is my little lion Nora. She wore this costume about seven times this Halloween! She did pretty good with it keeping it on. My Grandma Shirley made this for on of my cousins 15 years ago!!! Isn't it great! Thank you for letting me barrow it Kay. It worked great. Sorry it took me so long to post pictures. Amanda and I are doing the fall play at the High School. We are doing a Christmas Story. It is going very well. The set is a monster! Anyone who wants to share their carpentry skills we could put you to work... Amanda and I are clueless on how to build the set. We would really appreciate any help. The play will be Dec 12, 13, and 14th. The kids are doing a fantastic job. It is going to be great! Come see it!
