Unknown Emotion

Enjoy your chocolate, no matter what you look like. Is she just mid-blink, sleepy, or about to sneeze?

The last 'Call girl' has found her match. Adrian will be the new Mrs. Tyler Gibb this March.
Dad Call is finally getting more boys in this girl dominated family. Tyler fits right in with his love for soccer and snowboarding. And my girls are convinced he's magic.
Way to go Adrian and Tyler, we're excited for you guys!


This is just the artist's rendition of our house in the works. The finished product will be a little different, but this is the jest of it. I wish the trees appeared as effortlessly as an artist's brush stoke. We'll have our work cut out for us starting over on a garden and unfinished basement. We are anxious for apartment living to be over :) Hopefully by March.

This photo was one Mark found on Nana and Papa's camera when he went for baby Annie's blessing a few weeks ago. (Thanks, Robin for feeding and watering my sweetheart, he had a fantastic time! Annie's a keeper, what a beauty!)
This photo's classic as it captures Carl teaching a fasinating fact from his every learning mind and Paula's beautiful smile enjoying every minute.

Catching up. . .

When Lauren's at school Rylee enjoys full reign of entertaining Bianca, the rat.
What a spoiled rat!

During my latest shift at the hospital a new game was invented involving socks on the lovely 1960's chandelier in our department (the girl's name for our apartment :) It was tons of fun until Rylee commented, 'Dad, it smells like popcorn'. I guess fried socks and popcorn have similar smells.


You can have a lovely bruise too if you take a running leap and slide head first across the kitchen floor! All you gotta do is land on your chin.

Rylee's 4th birthday! What a joy and blessing she is in our lives.
We love her determination, her vivid imagination. Her taste for things that are sparkly, purple, and frilly is carefree and addictive. I need to get a suit that fits this description.
It was a treat to have Grandma Sharon, adopted grandma Pat and Rylee's birth mom, Dana join us and some good friends at 'Pop's Malt shop'.




Lauren the ladybug, and Rylee the moth. I was trying to figure out how to be a flyswatter.




How exactly do pumpkins fit into the whole "Halloween" historical picture? Better yet, why exactly do we even have Halloween? Best yet, why do people cut open giant squash and remove all the guts? Genius idea for a holiday.


A favorite from the Halloween buckets, watch out Edward!


Fun at Black Island Farm.
Rylee swept the whole hayride tractor with her 'Broom Corn' stalk.



An engineers mind at work. The girls spent many quarters filling the little food bucket to pulley it up to the greedy goats.

This family's got TALENT!

To add to Friday night's celebration, Lauren put on quite a show. She definitely took the cake!
