Chloe and Alex Pose (Briefly) for Photos

These children would rather eat broccoli than pose for pictures, but I got just a few this morning before they decided they'd had enough. I'm trying to decide which ones to enlarge, so post your comments to our blog or e-mail me to let me know which ones are your favorites.

Alex loves to rock...

Alex showed Daddy his new favorite trick on Monday morning.

Uncle Ronnie's Funeral

Joe's uncle, Ronnie Dale Newman, passed away this week. We went to Baton Rouge for the funeral and got to visit with family we haven't seen in years.




Chloe had a really good time with her second cousins, Luke and James.

Chloe reads the newspaper

Chloe enjoyed an after-breakfast read this morning. Lots of good deals in that paper!

Farmer Alex

Alex's neighbor, Reagan, let him drive her tractor this weekend and he looked like a natural out on the farm.

Over three million lights

Tonight was the last night of our city's Christmas display, which happens to be across the street from the house. Dad snapped some pics so we could remember what the 2007 display looked like. To get a better view, just click on any of the photos.

Here is a panorama of the lights across the street.

This is Chloe's favorite view, because you can see it from the living room window.

Another favorite of Chloe's is the duck family, which luckily was right across the street from the house this year (the spot occupied last year by the teddy bear family).

This is the view from the front yard looking to the west.

Christmas wishes

Thank you to everyone who sent us a Christmas card this year. Cindy put up a nice display in the living room and it brought a lot of joy. Since we're in the process of taking down the decorations, I thought I would snap a picture and say thank you to everyone. We hope you all had a merry Christmas and best wishes in the new year.
