Bailey

You all know we are incurable dog fanatics. Our 10 year-old golden retriever mix, Molly, died about two weeks ago, so of course we had to get another dog. This is Bailey. She is a designer breed called a Labernese--a mix of lab and Bernese mountain dog. The girls have been having so much fun with her, and so have we!

Is this the cutest??? They love each other.

Halloween 2009

This year our church had a Trunk or Treat, so we got lots of candy for very little work! In fact, we didn't even go Trick or Treating because the girls got all they needed and more at the church. Here's Rachel as a witch.

Sara as a grumpy pumpkin (wasn't she crying in last year's picture, too?). She actually had a lot of fun getting candy. She yelled Trick or Treat louder than any of my kids.
Ashley was the Elf queen Galadriel from Lord of the Rings. She hs read two of the three in the trilogy. She likes to give me a challenge when it comes to making costumes!!!

Melissa was a cat. Talk about an easy costume! Loved that.
