Say cheeeeeese!
We decided to take a shot at capturing our own family picture for our Christmas cards this year. This isn't the picture we are using, but I thought I would share one of the few that we took. Yes it was tempting to go ahead and use this one-not only because of Ashton's funny expression, but because it was the very first one we took, and would have made for a quicker "photo shoot".

Arts and Crafts
So I volunteered to think up, and experiment with ideas for young women birthday gifts. This is what I came up with. They are very cute memory/photo boards. After brainstorming all of last night, and a very looong trip to Michaels and Wal-Mart today, I came up with a very cheap and easy way to make these. For less than 3 dollars I am proud to present these. They were very fun to create and make. And they are actually functional. We'll see what else I can come up with.

The itsy bitsy spider hid inside Tommy's shoe.
So let me start out by saying if you are deathly afraid of spiders like myself, you probably shouldn't read on...Erin, that means you. We woke up today to a cool, crisp fall morning. I love fall because it's the time of year for hoodies, puffy vests, fireplaces and hot chocolate. We planned to get some stuff done on the house, and have a nice relaxing day. Tommy had gone outside to check on some things only to quickly return to inform me that when putting one of his shoes (which had been in the garage) he had felt a pinch only to find a very nasty bite on the top of his right foot. Yes, his shoe had been home to a very disgusting spider. After he and our neighbor killed the arachnid, and noticed that it had a red splotch on it's back, we decided to call the dr. He told us to go immediately to the E.R. in case of it being a black widow. Now I'm all for E.R.'s, and being on the safe side. After professing my fears of a footless husband or worse, I convinced him to go to the hospital. To make a long story short we were able to bring the spider with us, and 2 hours, 3 doctors and 3 nurses later, we found out that it was probably a red back spider, and to "keep a good eye on it" and take it easy for a while. They also gave us an emergency prescription only to be filled if his condition worsens. Tommy graciously thanked the doctors for giving him a free day of sitting on the couch and watching football, and we were on our way home. I am happy to say he is doing great (amazing what a day of football, emmm, I mean rest can do).
We also got our first snow fall today. Actually it was a hail storm, but it still counts. So Erin (and any other arachnophobes who bravely read this post), please shake out your shoes before slipping into them. You never know who or what has moved in.

I'm sure you noticed that Grandpa Tom isn't in any of these. He left for business a couple of days after we got to Virginia, but he met up with us on Saturday and Sunday back in Colorado. Thanks to everyone for the fun visit-we'll catch ya next time.

Fun with family and friends
Well we made it safe to our destination here in Virginia. We arrived on Saturday night and have had fun catching up with friends and family. Ashton has been all smiles and talking away. Today Ashton and I went to visit my old office and had lunch with everyone. It was very good to see everyone and show off Ashton. We'll have more pictures and updates when we get back home in a week.
