The Movie


Okay, soon I will be posting more family pics, but for now I thought I would deviate slightly from my normal updates. Who saw the movie last weekend? I'm sure a lot of you did. :) I went with some girls from work and we had a great time. We all really loved the movie and we're all avid Twilight fans. Yes, we had to put up with some twitterpated teenage girls, but we weren't much better once the character, Edward, walked on the screen. :) There was a bigger mix of people in the theater than I was expecting. It seemed like quite a few boyfriends/husbands decided to make the sacrifice and and came with their loved ones. Of course the movie had to leave out some parts of the book- it's inevitable. They also added some ethnicity to the characters (I didn't think so and so was Asian, but whatever). They also took some liberties with some action scenes ( I'm pretty sure no one was climbing trees in the book). Otherwise I thought the characters were right on. Okay- maybe Jasper was a little too bug-eyed the whole time, but that's pretty much how he's described, so oh well. The leads were perfect and I'm glad we went to see it. I'm still trying to convince Beau to read the series (don't think it's going to happen), but I might be able to drag him to the movie since he's put up with me acting like a teeny bopper everytime the previews came on tv. What did you guys think of the movie? I'm looking forward to the next one. :)

Halloween

Better late than never, right? Here are some pics from Halloween. Enjoy our little "Dorothy!"



There's no place like home... And yes, that's Toto under her arm. :)


Ringing Nana and Papa's doorbell...


Enjoying the spoils...


Singing "Happy Birthday" to the pumpkins and trying to blow out the candles.



Our little pumpkin family


As an update, Beau and I are doing well. We're very busy with school and work and Gwen. :) We'll get a small break in early December from school so that will be a nice little breather. This will come just in time for Gwen's birthday, Christmas and visits from Beau's family. :) If we haven't spoken to you in awhile, know that we think of all of you and look forward to free time when we can visit and call again. Hope you're all doing well. :)

Pumpkins!

Here are some pictures from our trip to a local pumpkin "patch." Gwen had lots of fun- mostly throwing the small pumpkins and watching us chase after them, but fun just the same. :) These cute pictures are thanks to our friend Debi Chatfield. It was great luck that we got there just as she was leaving since my camera had just died the day before. Thanks again and enjoy!
