Halloween

Hard to believe Halloween has come and gone already. Here are pictures of Dr. Darin and Courtney (Pebbles)Flintstone.

Darin School Photo

Finally Darin has his school pictures. Hard to believe my baby is 6 and in the 1st Grade. Before you know it we'll be empty nesters!

And the hair is gone!

So Gavin came home one day last week with no more hair. And I mean he cut it short. He looks like a totally different person - more grown up! And his Grandma Howe paid him $5 for every inch he cut which was a lot so not a bad deal.

Gavin's School Photo

Gavin brought his picture home today, what are the chances?
We're all waiting to see when he'll finally cut his hair. But still a handsome guy. Gotta love that smile!

Courtney's School Photo

Here we are almost 2 months into school and Courtney is the only one who has brought home school pictures. Darin hasn't even taken his! But here is little Ms somethin somethin. She'll be 14 next month and is in the 8th grade this year.

First lost tooth

So i'm not very prompt on posting but well I am posting so that will have to be enough. Darin lost his first tooth, oh, about 3 weeks ago? It had been loose for a few days and it was hurting everytime he ate that day, then about an hour after dinner he comes running in, my tooth came out! And he really did lose it, in the grass out side. No finding that thing. But we wrote a note to the tooth fairy and she totally understood and left 5 bucks (she didn't have anything smaller and well it was the FIRST tooth). So here's a picture of the gap.

Ice Princess

Courtney participated in her first ice skating competition today. She placed 7th out of 7 :( but she did a fabulous job and really enjoyed herself. It was a good learning opportunity and she's excited about doing another. Unfortunately her coach is moving next month but we're hoping to get her in with another coach and join the figure skating club so she can continue to compete. Way to go Ice Princess!!
