Celebrate

Tomorrow begins National Adoption Awareness Month, a cause very dear to me.  Please consider opening your lives and you heart to a child in need of a family, domestic or international. 

Here's the rest of the "photo shoot" that goes with the new header.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

So I've been a very, very bad blogger lately.  I hope these collages help.  The first two our from our trip to Hozak's.  We go every year, so while we were up visiting Mom and me took them kids for very quick trip after dragging them shopping most of the day.  The last collage is from our family trip to a local patch.  It was nothing like the ones where we're from, so needless to say we won't be going back.  The kids didn't mind it, but then again they weren't the ones paying for it.  :)   I have some other pictures I need to upload so check back again on Monday to see them. To see the collages in Full-Size just click on them.

Newport on the Levee

A couple weekends ago, while my parents were here, we went down to Oktoberfest at Newport on the Levee.  There wasn't much for the kids to do so we grabbed a drink and sat down to watch the Riverboats.  After we finished up, we took a walk along the Riverwalk to the park.  The kids loved the park but even more than that they were doing helicopter tours, so we sat on the swing and watched the helicopter take off and land.  It was a wonderfully relaxing day!  Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from the day....
