New 'do

Here is Laurin's new haircut "with bangs"....her specific request. You may think she wore the shirt all week since our last post featured the shirt too, but she got to wear her costume to school on Friday so she was still wearing it at dinner. Trick or Treating tonight and then we can retire the costume. 4 times total....feel like I got my money's worth:-) We should have pictures from Trick-or-Treating later. Laurin and Jessica will be heading out with Grandpa in the golf cart to get their candy.

Pre-Halloween pictures

So glad Laurin had two Halloween parties to attend so I can post these pictures and be ahead of the game instead of behind in posting (as usual). Her friend Megan had a Halloween party/sleepover on Friday night and then she attended Spooktacular on Saturday afternoon. Now I know she is ready for the real thing next Saturday. For a while there I thought maybe she was done dressing up because she kept saying she wanted to just hand out candy, but when she got the invitation to Megan's party, she changed her mind. So we quickly put together her "Tweenage Witch" costume.

Ranger and Coconut

Some updated pics of Coconut and Ranger. We received a bit of bad news about Ranger when we took him in for his teeth cleaning. The blood work revealed that he has chronic kidney failure. What all that exactly involves, we aren't totally sure yet...but we do know he will have lots of visits to the vet and need some extra TLC. Our first course of action is a special diet for 30 days and then we'll go back to the vet for blood work to see if he is improving. We'll keep you posted.

Miley Cyrus concert!

Finally getting around to posting pictures from the concert.....only a week later. We had an amazing time. Laurin and Hannah really enjoyed the concert and Kathy and I had so much fun hanging with our tweens. I don't think we embarrassed them too much. She sang lots of her hits, including "The Climb" and "Party in the U.S.A."

On the TRE headed to the concert....only way to go.

View from our seats....it was great being so close

More pictures from the concert. A great time was had by all.

Miley Cyrus concert tonight

Since it has been almost two months since the last update, we figured we better get something posted. Laurin and I are headed to the Miley Cyrus concert tonight with Kathy and Hannah. We'll also be meeting up with Kelly and Jessica and their friends for a great night of fun. Many thanks to Kelly for the great tickets. Just wish it wasn't a school night.
Ron is still in Japan....he'll be back next Saturday. It is already his birthday over there, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ron!
