A View into Bradford's World

Bradford seems to be surviving and even enjoying Sallisaw, OK. He is so darn cute and has such an amazing attitude. He's already been run out of a home by drunken rednecks, driven past a skunk that was severed right in half by the train and had a baptism -- so his world seems to be complete. He may be having his first transfer soon...maybe next week. Two whole months have gone by since he left...he's 1/12 done! We hope he has a wonderful Thanksgiving and send our thoughts and prayers out into the universe for him. We love you Bud!

Fall in Connecticut

I made this slide show for my kids for Thanksgiving...enjoy! (There is sound if you have speakers.... :)

Mom and Dad in Connecticut

We finished up the month with my parents joining us here. We had a wonderful time together. We went up to Newport and toured a mansion, into the city where they saw "Mary Poppins" (and loved it), tooled around the small towns here, and just generally enjoyed each other. We are so lucky to have such a loving family. Now what are we going to do with ourselves until someone comes again to visit?

This is Shell's "Schedule of Fun!" She's the party girl.

Shell and I in Newport, RI

Michelle joined us for a few wonderful days toward the end of October. We had such fun! This was her classic line; she said she wanted to relax while she was here, not go a mile a minute. Above you'll see her agenda for one night while she was here - and this was scheduled to begin around 5:00 PM. On top of all this, we managed to see Boston, NYC, Newport, and she even helped me paint the kitchen! It was a great time. I love my kids!
