THANKSGIVING AT POP & SHIRLEY'S

This year we spent Thanksgiving with Joe's parents. We had a wonderful dinner and it was great to see Pop & Shirley and Joe's two younger brothers Jason & Andy and their families! We wished we lived closer to them all so we could see them more often! The kids had so uch fun playing together all day!!! As soon as Jason made his big arrival (heehee, that's for you Andy) we were able to get a quick picture of the kids! Have you seen a cuter group of cousins!!! We sure did miss Dino & Caterina and their families!!!

ANOTHER BABY JAKE!

This is my good friend from High School, Suzie, her baby son Jake! I think he's about 1-1/2 years old! He is just too darn adorable! I just had to post this for you all to see! Love his Halloween Costume!!

AAAHHHH....

I've always loved this picture of Wolfie, Chase & Justin. Look how sweet & inncoent they are!!! This was years ago when us moms took them to see....oh my gosh, brace yourself, I can't believe I'm admitting this....are you ready??? N'SYNC!!!!!!!!!! Wolfie & Justin loved it so much they SLEPT thru the concert!!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M POSTING THIS FOR THE WORLD TO SEE....

Our friends Greg & Amy used to have an Adult Halloween Party every year (before they went and moved to Texas!!!) We always looked forward to dressing up and going. As you all know, they know how to throw a party!!! This one's not so bad....
Now this one on the other hand, well let's just say my husband is not going to be pleased with me that I'm posting this! He was not very happy about this costume selection!!! He had completely different costumes in mind, but what's a mom with a 1 month old baby at the time supposed to do!?!?!? Raggedy Andy was quite a sight at 2am after several cocktails!!!

HELEN...

...My dear friend who lives in Australia! This is Helen with her daughter Shanen (before a dance recital, I believe) and her son Jacob! They are coming home for a visit next April and we can't wait to see them!!!

SAORI...

Most of you will remember Saori from the first year we hosted a Japanese exchange student for 3 weeks. It was an awesome experience for us and the kids! We hosted Saori in the Summer of 2000. We have kept in touch over the years, though the last few not as much! I got an email from her a few days ago after she saw our blog! She is now a Sophmore in College studying in Korea. She will return back to Japan soon to finish her studies! Isn't she adorable!! She is the one who taught the boys the peace sign in pictures!

YOU COULD BE RICH!!!!

Believe it or not in today's "Letters to the Editor" it wasn't all about the Mayor Recall or the Racetrack!!! Someone wrote in telling about the following website where you can go see if you have any "Unclaimed Property/Money" floating around!! I did check it out and of course NOTHING!!! But, a couple family members were listed! So go check it out.... www.unclaimed.org From there I also came across the following... www.missingmoney.com and www.sco.ca.gov It's pretty interesting...who knows, one of you could strike it rich!!!
