Well, since I have a pile of pictures accumulated that I haven't posted (since October! crazy...) I thought I would put them up now. And since I work as a cataloger and therefor have super-anal tendencies, they will be in chronological order since last fall. So, please pardon the posting about Halloween three months later! Here are the highlights of Fall 2008.
Halloween 2008
So, here is our little pirate. Being really into swords and guns, and a huge fan of the movie "Princess Bride," Tom was a pirate for Halloween. This is one of the most adorable pictures of him - if I do say so myself.
Tom and his Aunt Lindsey dressed up for Halloween. He went over to Lindsey's house (one of his favorite places to go) to show off his costume before trick or treating - and Lindsey showed off her's as well. Aren't they cute? But you will have to ask Lindsey what it is that she dressed up as... I forget now.
Amy's Mission Call - Nov. 2008
We went to Suzanne and Teresa's house to watch Amy open her mission call. It was a rather exciting night - with our family and her roommates all coming to watch her open her letter. She was called to the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania mission and will be leaving Feb. 25.
Everyone looking to read Amy's call. Teresa (with the Pepsi can...), Amy, Becca (texting), Nichole, and Amy's roommate.
Suzanne and Becca on that fun-filled night.
Random Thomas shots - Fall 2008
Here is our imaginative Tom - prepping to perform surgery on his injured train. Note the attention to detail, with the blanket acting as a table cloth and his glove and hat on (we couldn't find his surgeon's Halloween outfit from last year and had to make due with what we could scrounge up.)
And the surgery begins...
John's goal was to build a tower using every single one of Tom's blocks. Tom was very excited about this and danced around John the entire time he was constructing his masterpiece. His excitement, however, was not at the construction but at the promise of demolition once his dad was finished... and here you can witness the joy!
(Tom prepping for his Aunt Susie's enthusiastic greeting for Amy.)
Well, its only been six months, but I have finally scanned the pictures of Amy's MTC trip. And since she has officially be out for six months today, I think it is only fitting to put them up now.
The fam at IHOP - our tradition.

All of us (except Tyler, of course) with Amy in front of the MTC.
Amy with the folks inside the MTC.
Dad is a bit sad to leave his second favorite daughter... though she seems to be amused by this. Typical Amy.
