Boo!

This was our inspiration… 

 How did we do?   

I think we did pretty well for a home-made costume! 
It was a natural choice…Hannah can sound so much like the character “Boo” (from Disney/Pixar’s Monster’s Inc.).  Especially if you’ve ever heard her say “Kitty!” 
There are lots more pictures here.

Home Sweet Home

Today is a big milestone for us… We have officially lived at the same address for one whole year – 365 days!

I am sure some of you are out there saying, “Big deal, one year.”  But, those of you that have had to update your address books/palm pilots every year around this time might understand, and appreciate, […]

18 Months

Where exactly does 18 months go?  And, how does it get there so quickly!?
