Doug & Joni arrived in Mt. Vernon about 2:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day and just left at 1:30 p.m. today (Sat.). Not a very long stay but fun to have them here. Jan's parents had the Thanksgiving dinner at their house and we had more than our fill of food which was all VERY delicious.

Alexxis 11/27/08
By Lisa Lawrence
Hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Here are a few new pictures of Alexxis. She was a Tulip Fairy on Halloween. Her Aunt and I took her trick or treatin' to four houses. She had a blast! She now can say candy, along with lots of other things. She says, hi, bye, hey, teeth, two, bug, choo choo, NO (all the time) shoe, nose, belly, ear, eye, I could go on all night. You get the gist though right? She is getting so big. Getting into EVERYTHING of coarse. I just can't wait til she puts all the words together.

By Barbara Lawrence
I had a super fun day today.... First of all, as I'm sure I've told you before, I'm a lunch pal for a third grade girl, Brittany, and today the school had a luncheon for all the third grade and the lunch pals. It was in our Methodist Church Activity Center and was really neat.

Halloween 11/03/08
By Susie Devries
Autumn was a bumble bee this year. She took her 'job' very serious and had so much fun. The other little girl in the pictures is Madison. Madison is 1 year older than Autumn and lives next door to us. They are great pals. After the little girls were done with Trick or Treat, Tracy, Madison's Mom, and I sat out on the front porch and the little girls handed out candy. They loved it!

Just thought we'd capture some pictures of these last flowers of the year. These late bloomers add so much to the cold grey days of fall.
