Time to put some faces with the names...

I thought some of you would like to see some of our family - most of you know us personally so here are some updated shots.

I know I've put pictures of my Mom (AKA Nana) on the blog but I LOVED this picture my Dad took last night.
I don't think my Dad (AKA Grandpa or just "Pa") has been featured on the blog. Here he is with Miss J. throwing things into their pond on Thanksgiving Day:
And here they are bird watching. Jenna does have her own binoculars but they were at our house.
Thank you, Beth for the above two pictures.

This is my brother Jason. He is almost nine years younger than me. Not the best picture. He is very cute. This was taken at the hospital when Ash was born, I think. Jenna adores him.
And this is Beth (my Dad's sister) with Jenna the other night. Jenna invited her over to decorate our tree. Jenna then used Beth's height to her advantage while hanging ornaments!
I will post a few more pictures of the tree decorating another time.

And as you know my sister, Amy and her husband Jon have a blog here.

And of course, my parents have two dogs named Sassy and Gizmo. They also have my two kitties named Tabitha and Tootsie there at their house too. Long story as to why the reside with the parents but here they are:
Tabitha:
Tootsie:
I put two pictures of each kitty up because they look SO alike. Even I have trouble telling them apart sometimes and I was 14 when I got Tabitha (AKA Tabby). I've had Tootsie since the end of 1999. Jenna can tell them apart. My parents sometimes have to double take to tell which cat is which and they see them every day! She calls Tabitha "Tabby, " a nickname she's always had and Tootsie "Little Kitty." Tootsie is smaller than Tabby. She was homeless the first year of her life and the vet said it stunted her growth. :o( They are known as "Sister Kitties" to Giz and Sassy. Gizmo is so in love with Tootsie as well as Sassy.

I was looking for a picture of Molly I thought I posted here
and I did not, so here it is:
She is in Jenna's car seat in my Mom's car. This was back in May 2007. We hitched a ride with my Mom after going to the park and Molly, for some reason, seems to drool only when outside for a long period of time. Sorry, but I thought her in the car seat was cute.

A little late I know, but here is a picture from Ash's First Thanksgiving. She REFUSED to be put anywhere but AT THE TABLE. Like she could eat a drumstick or something...Who knows. She was sounding off - both happily and angrily.
This is from the other night. What's with the furrowed brow?!
Ashley loved watching us all decorate the tree last night. She stayed awake the whole time. Jenna had a blast and could not understand why some of the ornaments she tried to hang fell right off the tree. She'd throw herself down on the floor in full drama queen mode!

Hope this wasn't too boring for you.
