What We're Thankful For

Little girls on princess chairs

Napping dogs with little hairs

Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody!

"Taking Chances" Tour

I am so excited!!! I'm finally going to get to see Celine Dion in concert!!! She is coming to Tulsa for her new "Taking Chances" Tour. Unfortunately, I have to wait until November 13, 2008. Yes, you saw that right...2008!!! Long time to wait, but definitely worth it. I am so lucky!! The internet wasn't working at first, but I was able to get in. I know they aren't the best seats, but they're not the worst!! Again, did I say I'm so excited!!! I didn't get to see her when we were in Las Vegas, but I'm going to see her in OK!

Woo Pig Sooie!!

We got to "call the Hogs" in Fayetteville on November 3rd on the 50-yard line!! We were very fortunate to go to the game courtesy of our friend, Coach Alex Wood. He is an Assistant Coach for the Arkansas Razorbacks football team. He coaches the receivers for the team. Coach Wood was at Wake Forest coaching for our other friend Jim Caldwell, who is now with the Indianapolis Colts. It was a wonderful night, but just a little chilly! It was also Senior Night and the night they named the football field after former coach and long-time Athletic Director, Frank Broyles. Of course, the highlight for me is the Hogs beating the South Carolina Gamecocks and Steve Spurrier!! We were also fortunate to have our neighbor's oldest daughter watch Caroline for us. So, it was kind of a "date night" for Galen and me. It was great, but did I say cold!! Caroline did great for Corina, but was happy to Mommy & Daddy the next morning. I guess we are official Hogs fans now. Woo Pig Sooie! Never thought I'd say that!

Happy Halloween!!

This year was Caroline's second Halloween. She dressed up as a Colts cheerleader. We already had the outfit, thanks to Aunt Lisa. I wanted to get another wear out of it! We bought some decals and a pom-pom at the Colts game so that she would look authentic. She was so cute!! Galen gave out candy to all the kids in a Colts tub we got at the game. So, it was a complete Colts Halloween! I took Caroline to the First Baptist Church Harvest Festival. They had games and candy. She had a great time! I was really surprised because she so timid, but she just jumped in and loved playing next to the other kids. Everyone was happy to see Caroline. For some of them, it was the first time! She got some candy and "made" Daddy a cookie with icing and M&M's. We had a really good evening and it was such a special memory!
