Thanksgiving Feast with 150 of our favorite preschoolers.

Damn good dawg

Sadly, Uga VII died unexpectedly this week. He was only four years old. This is a picture of Sam with Uga at one of the mascot's last games. Neither one of them seem to be impressed by the other. At least Sam got to meet him.

RIP Uga VII.

Mmmm... Starbucks

I have a little holiday tradition to mark the start of the Christmas season.On the day after Thanksgiving, some (crazy) people camp out in the wee hours of the morning to snag Black Friday bargains. Others run out to get their Chistmas tree. Not me. I head straight to the local Starbucks to get the first of many holiday Peppermint Mochas. They taste like Christmas! I absolutely LOVE them. And I enjoy many during the holidays. This year I am in big trouble. They now offer a Peppermint Mocha Frappucino. Frappucinos happen to be my next favorite drink from Starbucks!! I am thinking I will be on a first name basis with the folks at my Starbucks. Since I know I will be enjoying many of these delicious concoctions this Christmas, I expect I will pack on a few lbs. So if you notice my rear has expanded a bit since you last saw me, kindly don't mention it. Just smile and offer to take me out for a cup of coffee.

It's that time of year again...

Sam came home from school yesterday singing Christmas carols his class is learning for the Christmas pageant. His favorite song must be Feliz Navidad because he sings it all the time. However his version sounds like this:

"Fuh-lease Naughty dog, Fuh-lease Naughty dog..."

It makes me laugh every time I hear it!

Halloween is Moseley's favorite day of the year!

Halloween Parade

Sam's school put on a Halloween Parade for the parents on Friday. It was adorable. They trooped around outside the building with Thriller blasting in the background, posed for pictures, and did a little trick or treating. The kids had a ball!

Trick or treat!



Ding! The lightbulb goes on- CANDY!!!!!!!



Lily wore her bumblebee costume to see the parade.

Oh, Mexico...

Rich and Kristi were married last week in a beautiful ceremony on the beach in Mexico. We turned the occasion into a long weekend and had a great mini-vacation. Actually, since it was an all inclusive resort (all you can eat and drink), a mini vacation was all the vacation my body could handle! It was a great time.


The beautiful bride and her dad



Andy and the groom, who was not at all nervous ;)



My hooptie wheelchair which was my main mode of transportation around the resort. It had a rusty frame, 4 wobbly wheels, one arm pad held on by a piece of string, half a pocket in the back, and dangerously loose stitching around the seat. Andy decided the only adjective that could properly describe the chair was "janky."



Cocktails by the pool (Supermans, Bobos, Electric Lemonades, lime daiquiris....)
