Happy Thanksgiving

We all enjoyed a Thanksgiving at home this year with nothing but relaxation and cheer. Murf went for his first sleigh ride and Frannie had fun in the snow. It was nice to be together after a few furious work weeks mixed with hunting trips. yea for holidays! we took frannie to the carousel and she had her first magical santa sighting of the year. that little girl pranced right up to the jolly guy and started chatting like he was part of the family. Next weekend is the Festival of Trees and she'll get to sit on his lap and get a picture taken. I have a feeling December will pass quickly by...

First winter storm of the season

We finally got the snow that was needed and saw the end to our indian summer here in Montana.  We have had days where the temps never got above negative and the dogs rarely went outside. Frannie has had fun playing in the snow (in short bursts) and learning what it means to be cold. This week we will see temps in the teens and Lou will probably take one more stab at hunting for the year. With the bad roads and cold temps we will all be enjoying thanksgiving at home hoping to take a run at the sled hill.

No Halloween for ME!

Frannie was one of the few two year olds in Helena who didnt care too much for Halloween. She liked the idea of it, but when everyone was out and about in costume it was too overwhelming. So, instead she played dress up from the box of costumes she got from her cousins Jaclyn and Janine and spending time with baby caleco. She had fun at the elementary school carnival and we attended two halloween gatherings. maybe next year it will be more exciting for her.
