Paint Crew

Christmas Prep

We got a real tree!  It is so much more beautiful than our sparsely branched and even more sparsely lit fake one.

 

We were Joseph in the preschool performance.  He killed it.  Now every time he sees a nativity he asks, "Is that me?"

Ms. April whom we adore.

At Mizzou with Buds

I had so much fun, Friends!  See you next year for the comfy tiger shirts.  (Maybe Amanda Stapp will be available for a reprise of this... :)

Wear this every Sat?

This water did not look so suspicious at the time.

In case he becomes a future Tiger.

Missouri with the FOMD

Thanksgiving dinner.

Hiking at Fantastic Caverns.

Training with Uncle Trevor.

At the Chief's and Buc's game.

Some of my favorite bits of the trip:

• Silas toting a hatchet and tagging along behind Mr. Roebke on a mission to cut the tail off a dead squirrel. (Good for fly fishing hooks apparently.)
• Conn and I sporting our Outlaws shirts and cheering on Trenton as he flies down the field after a soccer goal.
• A bag brim full of beef jerky... sitting next to French onion dip... sitting next to fudge, with a side of cheese ball. 
• Visiting the model to imagine our lovely new lake cabin under construction.
• Crafting twinkly Snowman ornaments with my favorite niece. 
• Conn forcing pumpkin pie on everyone to reveal our news.
  

Tailgating

Another weekend of showing up to abuse the delicious and fun fruits of another's labor.
