Early Thanksgiving

Some pics are from dinner here with some of the Schaum clan. Chris used a turkey fryer for our first Thanksgiving dinner, and made 2 pumpkin pies from scratch. I just picked out the pumpkin seeds. They roasted (and popped) in the oven. Everyone else brought the side dishes. HMM Mmm...

Weekend

Friend Barb and I took the kids to APGFire Department for their open house. It was great for the kids-lots of craft projects, letters mailed to Santa, and they saw Spongebob, Dora and Santa. As for my semi-diet, it came to a screeching halt. Cookies, fruit punch, hot chocolate, more cookies. It was so worth it, though:()

New breakthrough

We're thrilled to share these new pics, showing how far Phoebe's come...and some cute ones of Paul, Aunt Donna, Cousin Calib and buddy Jacob.
