Well not sure what is going on with the updates for the blogger site, I am trying to update it for any one who has given heck about not having anything new on it.

Recently we held a party for Vann he has finally reached the days of retirement, he has been counting it down since the time he decided that he was going to retire. We had a party for him out at his and mom's place out in the country. Many, many people showed which pleased him very much, one of the guests was this little man, who is sometimes known as Ella's boyfriend, this is Ryan my bestfriends son. When Dawne and Steve got to the party Matt took him while Dawne took off of her coat and that is where he stayed for quite sometime which was kinda funny considering that he has not seen Matt all that much and also the way Matt looked we figured that he really wouldn't go to him but boy were we wrong he sat with Matt I say for almost a good hour we got some pictures of the girls with him and he played in Matt's lap he was quite content, he is showing signs of becoming a little man and boy does he ever look like dad now well that is what I think anyway. 

My girls the artists. Anyoune who knows me knows that I try and dabble in a little bit of Tole Painting, well anytime I get out the paints the girls like to help especially Chloe. In the past month I took on a little project to make a little extra money so mom got me some work doing some signs for Lincourt, they have built a new piece on and decided that they would like to put up some commerative signs for the employees who have passed and for some employees, they have also named alot of the lounges and extra rooms that make up the building, anyway the girls are helping me try and get them done, here in this picture Ella is trying to paint on one of the many signs that I had to get done. 

Hey everyone who keeps in touch with us through the blog, sorry it has been awhile since we have blogged. Halloween was more exciting this year, we had two little people to dress up. Little Chloe was Cinderella this year, she got her costume back in September and has been waiting for the time to come when she can where it I do have to confess though I let her where it a couple of times before it was time. This year she got great use out of her costume she went to a birthday party where they dressed up in their costumes because it was so close to Halloween and then she got to where it to a party that they had for the kids at Lincourt where my mom works and then she got to where it to the party that they had a preschool so we actually got our money's worth out of this one. Our little Ella was a giraffe for Halloween this year, we had a costume that Nanny Pat gave us for Chloe a few years ago, she had a good time she had her own little bucket that she carried to the door with her. A good time was had by all. 

Oh the life of a fisherman. Finally the season is over but now it will take Matt until next season to get this scruff off. He doesn't look like the same person and some have not recognized him with this face, definately not getting any kisses from the girls cause they don't like the feel of it, as soon as he is finished working in the great outdoors he will get rid of it(I hope anyway). And don't worry mom Thibideau he will. 

I know all you mothers out there are going is she crazy for letting her get in there, well I just happen to be getting laundry out of the dryer at the time and she thought that this would be the best place to be if she wanted to help, it was either this or have all my clean clothes on the floor cause her way of helping is to throw all the stuff on the floor. 

I have to tell you that we have several cats living with us and they pretty much rule the roost much to Matt's dismiss. These days we have to keep a close eye on them because the mice and other rodents are looking for their winter homes which means that they are trying to move in with us. But with this nice weather that we have been having I have been encouraging the girls to play out on the deck so they get as much fresh air as possible. Well one beautiful afternoon I left the door open so they girls can go back and forth on the deck and this is what I found on the kitchen floor under the table, this frog now I'm guessing but I think that maybe a bird had caught it and maybe dropped it and the cats found it and thought they would bring it home to mommy or they actually did catch it and again brought it home to show it to mommy, in any event we got rid of that thing before Chloe saw it otherwise being the animal lover that she is she proably would have tried to give it mouth to mouth and bring it back to life so that she could keep it for a pet. 

Well yesterday was the unofficial birthday for Ella, she had a wonderful time, when she finally came out of the fog after having a nap. She had a nice Winnie the Pooh cake and a little one for herself, that she really didn't get into like Chloe did, that's ok though all that sugar and all. Ella got a new baby just her own for her big day and a laugh and giggle Elmo chair, that when mommy got it home she found out that it didn't work. I knew I should have bought it at Walmart in Calais. 

Well here it is folks, the first official picture of Chloe going off to preschool on her first day. Everyone got dressed to see her off. Lots more kids this year at preschool, and some old friends too. 

I know it has been awhile but they have also been updating their blog site. Anyway this is the latest picture of Ella, starting to get some hair, I was able to put it into some cute little piggies.
