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.
