Christmas Morning!

Before...


After...


Danny totally owns His new wagon.


Tommy is now chief of the fire station.


Tommy "helped" mom make Jesus' birthday cake.

Gingerbread Grammy

This Wednesday Mom (Grammy) came to visit our home. We had a nice dinner which Patty prepared. Tommy and Danny got to help Grammy decorate the gingerbread house.


Tommy wanted to lick the house but all he was allowed was a bit of frosting.


Danny had a little frosting as well. He needed a bath after his treat.


When it was all said and done we have a lovely new home complete with gingerbread cookie reflecting pool. Thanks for visiting Grammy and Merry Christmas.

Pistol Packin' Patty

Patty and I had a day off together and it has been wonderful. We started out slowly this morning and took the boys out to breakfast at the cracker barrel. We Then dropped them off at school. Patty and I strolled around the mall and mingled with the Christmas shoppers. We decided to have lunch at the Cheese Cake Factory. It was a very pleasant morning. About a week ago Patty purchased a pistol. The Ruger LCP

After lunch we went to the local range to test the new gun. Patty's first expirence with the light compact pistol was nothing to sneeze at, have a look at her first few shots...

I suddenly have the urge to vacuum the living room and take out the trash…

Tommy and Randolph

Tommy is excited about the prospect of getting his stocking filled with all sorts of treats from Santa. His school is also preparing the children with songs and stories. However in true Tommy style he came home singing... "Randolph" the red-nose reindeer. We have yet to convince the lad that the red-nosed reindeer is named Rudolph. Until convinced otherwise we are stuck with "Randolph" on our front lawn.
