Happy Halloween!

Show me your costumes! (If you do, I promise to post a picture of Matt and me as Popeye and Olive Oyle...)

Montessa is coming! Montessa is coming!

Have you guys all heard?? Montessa will be here VERY soon! (Well, by this time next week, for sure). Here's a picture of her playing patty-cake with her big sister and one of her favorite cousins:

Also, have I mentioned that Paul is two now?

He's enjoying being two so far. We're having lots of fun doing fall-type stuff. This is one of my favorite pictures from our adventures this month.

There are a few more of my faves here, if you feel like looking.

This is Viv, Bunny and Miriam circa 1935.

The Nallin Family. Viv is 4th in. I think the older couple just past her is Sade (with dark hair)and Frank. And doesn't the older woman next to Frank look like Miriam? Must be an aunt.

L-R Audrey Nallin (grandmother of Keith Norwood who sent the pictures), Tom Hendricks, Bunny and Viv. Wasn't she gorgeous?

Keith Norwood is a Nallin cousin from Shreveport, LA and very interested in family history. He kindly sent these photos. Audrey, in the bottom photo, is his grandmother. He'd love more photos of the Nallins, Jaye, if you can decipher who is who. I'll send you his email.

And one time? At band camp?

Patrick will be taking trombone lessons in school this year. I guess you can consider this a "before" picture:
