J pics and Thanksgiving trip

J loves to take pictures with our point and shoot camera. Some of her pictures turn out very artsy. Following J's pictures are photos from our recent trip back to Indiana to see my (Mark's) side of the family. (please note that the haziness on many of these photos is because J is still learning to keep finger prints off the camera lens)(professional photographers pay money to get filters for their lens for this effect, J is into the more hands-on, experimental approach to art)

These pictures were all taken at my Dad's home where we stayed while we were in Indiana. J poses her baby dolls and family members where she wants everything and then tells everyone to say "Cheese!"











We were in Indianapolis for a week for Thanksgiving. During the week we were able to visit with my Mom, Dad and sisters (and their families) almost every day. Although that sounds very hectic, it actually was pretty relaxing and the girls were able to get a good nap in most days.

The morning of the last day we went to Cracker Barrel to see some of my aunts, uncles and cousins. They get together there often on Saturdays. Everyone thought our girls were very cute and happy little kids.

Pumpkin Fest 2010

We hosted the annual pumpkin carving party last Saturday, it was great to see everyone again. This year most people seemed to go with smaller sized pumpkins compared to some of the monsters that have been brought in the past.

J and A enjoyed all the excitement. J joined in the fun and helped scoop out the insides.
