Mackenzie's New Haircut

While I am Blogging

Here is what Todd and Morgan are doing while I am --- doing laundry, cleaning the back room and blogging!

SVDP Auction

We had a great evening at the annual SVDP Auction. This year's theme was Cajun - down by the Bayou. We really wanted to sport our Gator colors and recall the first National Championship in 1996 in the Bayou City. However, those Texas fans might not have appreciated it and since we still have two more Gator Girls that need to get in to SVDP we decided to refrain.

Food was good, Wine better and Friends the best!

Who babysat you ask??? Well, the director of Abigail's school, of course. Friends offered but, Mack and Abby love to hang with Sarah and Ethan (we shared a babysitter with the Venkers). And since it was such a late night we didn't want to really burden anyone. Besides, we need Aunt Keri, Aunt Barbara and Aunt Rochelle to look after Gator at Christmas.

Don, Kymberly, Todd and I before the bidding began.

Our big purchase was Mackenzie's class art project. Usually tough to get because we are often out bid. I, of course, really wanted it this year because of its holiday theme. We also picked up some parties for Mackenzie and an opportunity to have dinner with the ArchBishop.

Explanation of the Blog (actually the Blogger)

O.K. -- I finally started the Blog. Yes, I picked tonight for some reason - probably because I would get in a lot of trouble in Florida if I didn't post their Halloween pictures ASAP. So I started with Morgan's Birth, which of course is the reason for the Blog in the first place. (I know she is already 3 months old.) There is a lot missing between July 21st and October 31st. I have not mastered this blogging thing at all. As many of you know I can't even text message so it shouldn't come as no surprise. I promise to fill in the gaps with first baths, first Gator/Texans games, a High School Musical Birthday, a TinkerBell Birthday too and lots more when I learn how. I plan on taking lessons from David when he returns from Jersey. Meanwhile enjoy Halloween and check out how much they have grown since July.

Stay tune - the gaps will be full before you know it. And new things happen everyday.
