Richardson Report

  In November I was three weeks post-op and we had a trip scheduled!  I had been a little nervous about traveling but it turned out so great!  We drove to Reno and met up with our friends (who moved from GP to Texas a couple years ago) and we hung out for two days.  The highlight of the weekend was watching "The Lion King" musical.  What a fun show! Best part of the month - Faith turned 10! Because of her birthday's proximity to Thanksgiving, we combined her celebration with Thanksgiving and took Faith and her cousins bowling. Thanksgiving was so much fun.  The food was fantastic.  The family times together were even better.   On our way home we snagged breakfast with Aunt Lynette - it's always a treat to catch up with her! Anyone ready for Christmas and a wedding?????  Because it's coming!

 We took family photos this fall.  Someone asked me why I was taking photos without all of my kids. Well - two reasons.  The first is that these individual shots are the girls' "school" pictures for the year. The second is that this IS our family 99% of the time and these girls deserve to have their lives chronicled just as much as we did when all the kids were living at home.  While I love and cherish our all-together family photos, they don't happen as often as I would like and kids grow fast.  I like to look, year to year, at their growth and marvel at it. These were the photos we chose to keep.  We had such fun.  Outtakes below.... Watching Kenna and Natalie "help" Jessica get Faith to smile was highly entertaining!
