For Adrie...

So a few people have informed me that I've been slacking on my blog lately. No, I didn't die. No, I'm not in the hospital with the swine flu. No, I'm not pregnant (unfortunately). No, I'm not laying on the beach on a tropical island. No, I'm not off cleaning my house. No, I'm not doing a million things that I should be doing.

But...Yes, my girls have been off track for an entire month. Yes, this "break" messed with our schedule a little. Yes, I'm extremely grateful to all of you who helped us out during our time of need :) Yes, Dan and I did stay at the office until 11pm every night while our girls were gone. Yes, we are crazy busy at the office. Yes, that's a good thing. Yes, I did get called as YW second counselor. Yes, this is going to be a time consuming calling. Yes, I am willing to serve wherever the Lord wants me. Yes, time has been flying by at warp speed and I'm not doing very good at keeping up at that pace.

So...I've repented and hopefully we'll be seeing a little bit more of each other :) The kids going back to school tomorrow should help right?!?

We just got back from a visit to Utah for Thanksgiving. We conned KayLynn into snapping a few photos of our little family, bless her heart (in a mother-in-law voice). The REAL photo is going to be mailed in a Christmas card (I'm determined to do one this year). But, I thought I would share a few of the "bloopers" with you...

You remember being grossed out when your parents kissed...

Syd's face made me laugh in this one...

Hold that pose...

This one's not really a blooper...thought it was kinda cute actually!

He must have had stinky breath or something :)

Now...in the last year or so, many of you have moved (like us), and I've gotten back in touch with some old friends. Needless to say my address book needs serious updating and I would love to add you to my X-Mas list. If you are at all interested in getting a Christmas card from us...please leave me your address or email it to me at norrisbunch@yahoo.com. Even if you think I should have your address, have mercy on this crazy lady and send it to me again!!! Thanks!

Be afraid...be very afraid!

Cheetah Girl (gone a little wrong) costume and hair both courtesy of Diane. Truthfully, it was a little alarming how easily my hair got this big (yes I'm having jr. high flashbacks). Sorry if this picture frightens your small innocent children.

More photos of Halloween (and the entire month of October) coming soon!!!
