Thanksgiving

Short, but VERY sweet trip, to Florida for Thanksgiving!

For Grandma

Good morning Grandma,

We hope you are feeling okay this morning. We love you!

Audrey, Avery & Kai

Karaoke

From last week.

Halloween

Dorothy, Glenda the good witch (or a queen butterfly, depending on the day), and the lion, plus a CG pilot. =) Not really the best pic of any of us, but since both of our cameras were broken on halloween, I have only this one pic that a friend took of us at our church's harvest festival, so it will have to do. =)

Quiz

Which McConnell girl is this? I had to do a double-take myself.

Christmas wreath

So I know this doesn't look like a backdrop in the Land's End catalog, but the girls and I made this wreath yesterday out of our extra Christmas tree branches and we are quite proud of it. Audrey designed, drew and cut out the ribbon all by herself.

Sugarbowl

Ths morning, while getting my coffee ready, I dropped the lid to the sugarbowl on the tile floor and it shattered. The kids and Iain were sitting at the table and they asked what happened. I told them the lid had broken but said don't worry. I was about to give a little sermonette on how things don't matter and how I was glad my family was all safe. So I said, "It's okay. Sugar bowls can be replaced. But you know what can't be replaced?" Avery confidently piped up with "LIDS to sugar bowls!" :)
