I thought I would post some pictures just to catch up on some.
I feel like I am finally getting more in the groove of things with my job, but soon things will change... starting next month we will be making apple products until sometime in March or so I've heard, this includes, Apple pies, dumplings, crisps, and apple butter. I will be busy canning apple butter is what I heard today. This is very labor intensive work is also what I've heard. I really do love what I do :)

I had to take Bradley to the Dr. this afternoon They measured him, he is now 5' 6" tall. He is 6" taller than me and 6" shorter than Doug. He weighed in at 113 -1/2 lbs. Since september he grew 1/2 an inch and gained a pound.

Snow is falling, we are getting a lot of wind and BIG fluffy typ of snow flakes, I can see it stuck to the front of the house. Bradley just got home from the basketball game and said there is ice under the snow, radar shows rain over the lake.... Gotta love Michigan weather !!

Took the kids to Bronners and downtown Frankenmuth on Sunday, they were really shocked at the number of different ornaments available, I will have to take them again in the summer when it's not so busy :)

My dearest friend in the world :)

Brad is in the upper left with his friend Vincent, in the front left is Cassidy ( Vincent's cousin ) , Morgan, and Mady, for people that want to know who they belong to in the same order: Me & Doug, Tony & Becky ( Bell ) Lungaro, Tom & Marcia ( Squire ) Bell , Marc & Kelly (McCrory ) Monique and Charlie & Stefanie (not from here ) VanHowe... Hard to believe they are teenagers...

Denistry from the Heart day at Lakeshore Smiles.. 3 Dentists and an Oral Surgeon along with a huge staff of volunteers worked on people all day free of charge..... This was about 1/2 an hour before Cranes called and asked if I'd come and talk to them about a job.... I left within a month later.

Brad thought we needed a picture of our big lazy cat Shadow napping on his bed....

The "Pretty" Christmas tree, this one matches the lights I have outside, the good tree with all the kid made ornaments and ornaments with special meaning is downstairs in the family room...

Pictures...

Bradley in the Troop 45 Boy Scout troop Goose Festival float, there is a tent right in back of him and boys around a campfire roasting marshmallows over a ( fake ) fire... the boys made the float after coming up with the idea...

Camping Labor Day weekend in Traverse City, Doug was getting stuff out for dinner. It was such a kid oriented place we only saw Ryan when it was time to eat.

Brad never left the campsite, I guess he thought Doug and I would be lonely if he went off to have fun ....
