Today was the first snowfall of the season, and it couldn’t have happened at a better time. It’s Saturday and we had nowhere we had to go. Tim, Kara and Kathy enjoyed playing in the snow and making a snowman! We also took some pictures of the front of the house with the Christmas lights and decorations.
We had a great time this Thanksgiving celebrating at the O’Malley home (Kathy’s sister). There were 15 of us altogether, and a ton of food! Unfortunately, we didn’t get a picture of our feast, but we did get a few to show what a good time we all had!
Sorry it has been almost a month since we last posted! Time has just flown by! So…today, Kara looked too cute in her leopard dress for us not to get a few pictures to share. :)
**Apparently Kara knows how to cross her eyes!(last picture)
Kara had fun helping mommy and daddy carve the pumpkins, and didn’t have any problems putting her hands inside to clean out the seeds. Kara dressed up as a princess for Halloween, and had a blast trick or treating at the houses on our street! She also really liked helping mommy pass out treat to the other kids…even things she had already opened and started to eat herself!
Kara’s new bedroom set was delivered and set up today, and we think her room looks fabulous! We still need to put up pictures, shelves, and curtains. Plus a screw for one of the knobs on the dresser is too short…so we’ll post pictures again when everything is finished. As you can tell, Kara really likes her new bed!
Last weekend, Tim and Samantha traveled to Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, KY with Kathy’s dad, to participate in the Homecoming festivities. Samantha’s friend, Sophie was able to go too. Some of you reading may not know that Tim, and both of Kathy’s parents graduated from EKU. Everyone had a great time! When they arrived on campus Friday afternoon they were given a tour of the university by two students. Friday night they enjoyed a formal dinner. Saturday morning was a delicious brunch at the President’s home. They watched the Homecoming parade in the early afternoon, and the football game (from the President’s box) later in the afternoon. From what I’ve been told, the four of them ate very well all weekend long! Samantha and Sophie were able to experience many fun opportunities, and see a little bit of what their future may hold when they attend college!
Samantha and her friend Eugene went to Homecoming at Martinsburg HS last night and had a great time! They danced the night away and were happy and exhausted when I went to pick them up at 11 pm. :-) Don’t they look fabulous?!
Kara got a new Radio Flyer tricycle today! Even with the adjustable seat moved as far up as possible, she cannot completely turn the pedals. Our Kara has short, stubby (but very cute) legs. :-) But, the great thing about this tricycle is the handle on the back. It’s high enough for an adult to push, and gives us the ability to steer the tricycle where ever we want it to go. Kara really likes her new pink/purple tricycle!
Yesterday, mommy stayed home with Kara because the babysitter was sick. We actually stayed home together for two days in a row! It was actually a very warm day (mid 80’s), so Kara was able to play in her pool. She had a lot of fun!
Today we went to Virginia to help celebrate Hunter’s birthday, and took some cute pictures of the cousins together!
We’ve really enjoyed the weekend visit with Tim’s parents, and took some good pictures while having fun!
Nana and Papa came over last Saturday to spend time with Samantha and Kara while Tim and Kathy went out for the day. We all had a great time! Kara and Nana decided to play ‘footsies’ while reading books together, and Papa snapped the picture. :-)
Samantha made my birthday cake this year, and she did a great job! As you can see, from the writing on the cake…I can’t pretend I’m 29 and holding anymore!
