December in less than an Hour!

Hello Family Dearest!
I can't believe it is almost DECEMBER! It is even more exciting knowing we will all be together for Christmas in just a few weeks. It just isn't the same when we aren't together. Something about being in mom and dad's house really makes it seem like Christmas to me. I don't know if it is that wonderful smell that I remember as a child...you know the Christmas smell that just seem to be on the decorations and everything....maybe it was from the yummy holiday goodies! Whatever it is...I LIKE IT! I LIKE IT! I LIKE IT! I am all but counting down the days until we are all together in the great state of Texas chowing on some yummy Mes-ican Food! Speaking of the holidays...I've about got my house all decorated. It is looking pretty good! My real pride and joy this year is my new Clemson University Christmas Tree. It is in the basement...in the family room...I will post some pictures...at the end of this if my computer will cooperate. Anyway, it has orange and white lights. It has purple beaded garland. And finally I have been able to use the Clemson Christmas tree decorations I have been collecting over the last couple years. It is very cute...well, I as a Clemson fan think so! :) Well, I better go. I need to get some rest. I love you all and can't wait to be together!

Tune in...

Hey everyone...don't forget to tune in to the Rockefeller Christmas Tree lighting tonight. I am going to be there just hanging with Sheryl Crow and Rod Stewart. I will post pictures from tonight tomorrow!

Em: Thanks for all the pictures. I really enjoy them.

Ros: When will we get an answer to your riddle? Or are we just suppose to say what we would be?

I received an e-mail from our sales person in South Carolina. The e-mail was titled "Small World". She was calling on the Greenville Bank and met with Katie (Stephen's sister). Katie told her that her brother's father-in-law works for Clarke American so she sent me a note to tell me about it. Neat huh?

Sure looking forward to having you all here for Christmas. It will be so fun.

Just hanging with Uma and Luke!

Ok...last night when my roommates and I were walking home from the Winter's Eve Fest we went to get on the subway at 72nd street to catch an Express. We couldn't get in the station, because they were filming Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson's new movie. Luke and Uma weren't exactly there at the time, but it was fun to watch. They were getting ready to start the corner North Face store on fire. There were about 50 FDNY guys waiting to be extras. Needless to say...they were HOT! It was fun and I thought you would enjoy seeing the photos!

Winter's Eve Fest in Lincoln Center

Last night there was a big festival in Lincoln Center...the church/temple is in Lincoln Center. There was a big tree lighting, music, and ice sculptures. There were food tasting too. It was great! The missionaries were passing out pass along cards and hot chocolate. It was nice!

answer 2 ?

Well I would probably be found nude especially if it were my own house because we all know that our house isnt up for wearing much clothes. But since its gingerbreadmans house I would be a gram cracker because I wish I was tan as a gram cracker and my stomach was that flat too!!
We had a wild and hectic weekend. We met Heath's girlfriend Liz. She was nice, quiet but nice! It is so weird meeting your only brother's "serious" girlfriend and thinking that this might be the girl that I will have to plan around and do things with the rest of my life. I now know what you guys might be thinking when joel met me! And to think that you guys accepted me! I really appreciate it!!!!
We are so excited for everyone to be down for Christmas. Joel and I talked about how fun it is going to be yesterday and it got us fired up!! But what doesn't get joel fired up now that Judson is doing so good. I am so glad that he is with a team that he loves and a staff that he admires so much. It makes things so much easier when life gets so frustrating and hectic.
If someone could help me post a picture on this thing i would appreciate it! I thought i had posted one, but it doesnt show up! I will have to keep trying.
Brit

This calls my name...everytime I see it!

This is in Time Square and everytime I see it I smile! Don't worry mom I am still off the "sauce", but it is hard when you pass this and it is calling you! This Diet Coke with Lime was once a favorite, is now a vice! :( I am staying strong...don't worry dad!

OK...I fixed it and you can post comments now.

Let me see...no comments...

No Comment Button!

Sorry Ros I don't have a comment button on my blog page. I thought that question of the week was a good idea. I know that Joel will never do it and mom can't, so I will totally participate! If I were camoflauged in a Ginger bread house, I would totally be a candy cane. They are red and white, sleek, bring a smile to everyone's face, and very thin! Basically I know that already describes me...minus the red and white stripes! :)

Howdy Fam

Howdy you all. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Fun to see pictures of Emily at Chy's and Kate & Clair. Mom and I have to be better taking picture. We did not get a one of our Thanksgiving Feast. Mimi did such a great job. Everything was so good and the table looked so pretty. It was great having Joel, Brit & Brooklyn with us. Friday I drove down to Kingsville for the Judson game. Judson won 37-15. It could have been 37-0. The first TD was a gift from the officials and the second was scored on the third team defense. Judson will have their work cut out for them on Saturday. They play Spring Westfield. Westfield has lost one game in the past two years and that was the state campionship game in 2004. They are currently rank #3 in the nation by USA Today. Joel worked the films Sunday and he said they are beatable. The game will be here in SA at the Northside new stadium, Saturday at 2:00 PM.

BYU is in the Las Vegas Bowl Thursday, December 22 at 5:00 PM PST. It will be on ESPN. That is our temple night so we will have to watch it on Friday. Still waiting to hear on Clemson's bowl game. Columbia did win a game or two didn't they Em? I know they did not win a Ivy Leage game. Oh well Emily did not go there for their football team. I am sure their team members are smarter then BYU and Clemson's. Speaking of football Texas State (formally SW Texas) won their playoff game. It was a big upset. I think it was against Ga Southern. First time they have gone to the playoffs in 20 years. Everyone around here is excited about it. I sure wish D-1 had a playoff system. BYU women volleyball team (I think they are 20-3) is in the NCAA Tournament. The finals will be here in SA. That would be neat if they made it here.

I am soooooooo looking forward to having you all here at Christmas time. I really miss Emily and Kate and Clair. You too Ros and Stephen! I just got use to having Em here this Summer and the girls just bring so much joy and happiness to us. Wish you all lived here in the "Call Compound". You all be good. Love you all mucho, mucho, mucho. PAPA

Question for the Week

I thought it might be fun to have a "Question of the Week" every once in a while. You can click on the "comment" button under the post to answer, this way all the responses will be together. So to get us all in the Holiday spirit...here is it is!

What would you wear for camouflage if you were hiding in a gingerbread house?

FYI

Since we are all new to this, I just thought I'd post a little fact I learned about our BLOGG! Did you know if you click on a pic it will make it larger for you to view it? I always post my pics small because that is the ONLY way I can get them to post! So, it is nice to be able to enlarge them for easier viewing! Anyway, I love you all...happy BLOGGING!

Frosty the Snowman

Here is a picture of the girls after the Frosty the Snowman play that their Aunt Jessica was in. Jessica played a little boy named Worm who is the side-kick for the bad kid, but then Worm turns good at the end! She was AWESOME! The little baby is TJ...the new Bright cuz. They had a blast and wanted to go to the evening performance as well! It was a lot of fun to watch them watching the show. They totally got into it! At one point they got up and started dancing. Kate kept telling the little girl sitting next to her, "That is my Aunt Jessica!" Clair ran back and told me, "Oh no! Frosty hat is gone!"

More from Ros!

Ros was having problems posting this, so I told her I would do it for her. This is the party gang. They look like they are having a blast! Clair looks like she has a little squatty body. :)

Clair's Party

Here are a few pics from Clair's party. Kate is holding up the party favor bags full of Teddy Grahams, Gummy bears, crayons and a Teddy Bear coloring book I made with clip art from the www. Here is Clair with her gifts. Notice the doll is about as big as she is! The purse is now one of her favorites and she carries it all around the house! It was a small get together, but everyone had tons of fun. The bear cake was a HUGE hit but the kids were a little cautious of the teddy-bear shaped peanut-butter and honey sandwiches. (They did look a little different!) But it was fun!

The Girls at the Park

Here is a picture of the girls playing at the park in Aiken! They had a blast and Kate made TONS of new friends! She is such a little social butterfly!

Just me and Charlie!

Here is the picture of me, Charlie and Stephanie. This one isn't blurry like the last one. Stephanie got this picture on her camera and emailed it to me.

Turkey Day with the Fillmores!

Here are pictures of the feast! It was fabulous. In the first picture you see Bailey, Sam, and Shane's sister Catherine. The second picture is of the second half of the table; me, Shane, Chy, and Claire. We had Thanksgiving Fillmore style. They have steak instead of turkey, but everything else is traditional. Chy if you are reading this...thanks for having me and for the leftovers. It was truly spectacular and I enjoyed it. Famiy I missed you , but I was greatful for the Fillmore's taking me in...it is great having family nearby!

Here is Chy finishing up with the Thanksgiving Feast dishes. Shane had been in doing the dishes, but by the time I got my camera out he was gone. I told Chy this way she gets all the credit for doing the dishes. The other picture is of us all playing games. Now you know how much I love games...so I was in heaven! Family, please let's play more games...it is fun, I promise! :)

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2005!!

This Thanksgiving I stayed in New York City. Myself and about a million others braved the frigid air to see the famous Macy's Day parade. It was great...cold, but GREAT! Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Here is a picture of me and the group of friends that got to the parade at 7 am. It started at 9, but the police we talked to Wednesday night said to get there then if we wanted to see anything. We were on 46th and Broadway, which is right in TimeSquare. We were right up front for the festivities. If you can't figure it out, I am the one on the far left. I am wearing my glasses...to cover up my "roll out of bed and go look." Sorry mom, no make-up on...it was too early and cold for make-up. I have on long johns, a long sleeve shirt, my black fleece sweatpants and shirt, my BYU hoodie, and my winter jacket. I also wore two pairs of socks. I didn't get cold until abbout 10:30ish. I stayed out until about 10:45 and then I headed home to get ready to go to Hawthorne to have Thanksgiving dinner with the Fillmores. I thought it was tons of fun...inspite the cold.

The first picture is of the NYPD band. They were great. The next picture is the first thing in the parade. It was motorcycle NYPD. The last picture is of a bunch of football coaches and owners. I recognized one guy, but for the life of me I could not remember his name. When I come home Joel will have to zoom in to figure out who he is.

My favorite band that went by was from Hawaii. They were dressed in traditional gard and they actually danced and played. Many of the bands were resting when they got in front of us. I also enjoyed Dora the Explorer because it looks like she is running through the city. This is her first year in the parade. It is also the first Latin character...that made big news here. I loved Super Grove, because hey...he is Super Grover and what's not to love! :)

This first picture made me upset...because I was so excited and then it turned out blurry. The actual cast from Seasame Street was on this float. This is a blurry picture of Gordon and Maria. Big Bird is for Clair and the Barbie float is for Kate.

These are the most Thanksgivingy things in the parade. Football, Pilgrims, and Turkey. I loved the Charlie Brown with football balloon. It was huge!

Chicken Little and Leann Rimes on the Disney Float!

The rest of the story...

Here are the pics from last night...that I couldn't get to download. Stay tuned for tons more from the actual parade...it was a blast!

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Pre-Parade Extravaganza!!!

This was such a great experience. All the balloons were amazing. My friends and I wondered who exactly makes these and how would one get started in the business of making gigantic balloons for parades. Anyway, it is sure nice that someone does. In the first picture you see the lovely Macy's Star. You can see a few heads of people around. There were thousands of people. Who knew this would be such a draw. In the second picture you see me standing with none other than...Jo-Jo (that picture is especially for Kate and Clair). This is not Jo-Jo's first time at the Macy's parade. I am the little gal in black next to Jo-Jo. It was so cold, but nothing compared to how tomorrow morning is supposed to be. We are going to bundle up and brave the cold. It is supposed to be 31 degrees at 6 am when we are waking up. We plan to get to the parade by 7 am. That is what time the NYPD officer said to come if you want to see anything. It starts at 9, so we only have to be out in the cold for 3 to 6 hours depending on if we want to stay for the whole parade! :) I doubt we will make it past one hour of the parade. Hey, you gotta go if you live in NYC...it would be a shame not to! I can't seem to get these last two pictures to download, so I will have to do it later. I am too tired to mess with it anymore. Love ya all!

Here is Mr. Potatoe Head and that ever loveable "SUPER GROVER"! Man I enjoy Grover. He is such a great guy. Everytime I see Grover I think of my favorite book...The Monster at the End of the Book. That is a great read! Joel and Brit you have to get that one for Brooklyn!

Tonight...Wednesday there was a pre-parade extravaganza! The day before the big Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade they blow-up the balloons for the parade. All day long you can go to see the inflation process. A group of friends and I went to see the inflated balloons. There were TONS of people. I am pretty sure every man, women, and child in the NYC area was at the parade. Enjoy these fabulous pictures of pre-parade inflated balloons! When I saw the Scooby, I thought of Adam. He loves Scooby Doo! And of course, who doesn't recognize good old Ronald McDonald!

Brooklyn says.."Whoop, Whoop Judson Rockets!"

Brooklyn wanted to wish her daddy good luck on Friday night! We are so proud of him and are so thankful of the hard work he puts in to his job, home, and calling! We are so thankful to be apart of this family too! I am thankful that I have all of yall as outlets and resources for when I am concerned or just needing to talk! I am thankful for technology (such as this blog) that we are able to have fun and communicate better. Maybe it will help Joel and his communication skills that he lacks...or maybe not :)! I hope yall all have a fabulous Thanksgiving. Emily I am so jealous that you are going to the parade tomorrow. Take lots of pics...that has been a dream of mine since I was little, maybe one day! Well, I am sure we will be talkin on the phone soon. Joel I am so thankful for you and love you so much! Go beat Harlingen!

Go Rockets!
~Brit and Brooklyn

Message from Mom

Once again Emily is posting this for me. I loved the pics of Emily’s apartment. I must say that the kitchen frightened me a bit! Yikes…it looks like an RV kitchen. I thought it all looked so cute and very trendy! I am excited to go visit in the spring! It will be so nice to have Emily be an experienced New Yorker as our guide! I just want to tell all of you that I love you…each and every one and that I am so thankful for my family. My life would be so dull without you guys. You make me laugh, you make me smile and you are all so good to me. I was just thinking this morning how lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband and such delightful kids. I don’t know anyone who is as fortunate! Happy thanksgiving, everyone! Oh and by the way…I am naming the turkey “Truly” this year. It just came to me because I am truly thankful for still being here with all of you after my “brush” with possible death in August. Yes, I am feeling a bit melodramatic…just bear with me! This too shall pass. I love you. Mom

P.S. What are you all wearing for the Holiday to eat your turkey? :)

My NYC apartment...the rest but the bathroom

Here are the last two pictures of my apartment. The first one is of my kitchen. No the picture is not distorted...the stove is just a miniture stove. It is small and I am taking the picture from the lighted doorway that can be seen in the second picture. The second picture is of our guest room...some might call it a loft, but we have a mattress up there and many of our guests stay up there. We have a loft ladder leading up to another loft that we move over when we have a guest. Bascially you have seen my apartment. Oh, in the second picture...the darkened doorway is our one and only hallway. It has three doors...one that leads out, one that leads to the coat closet, and one that leads to the bathroom. Home sweet home! I am going to the Macy's Parade pre-show tonight. That is where they blow up the balloons and stuff. It is on NBC. If you watch, it will be like we are all there together. I am going to the parade tomorrow and then to Chy and Shane's. I sure wish we could all be together for Thanksgiving, but regardless...I sure am thankful for my family! You all are great!

My NYC apartment...main rooom

This is the main room of our apartment. The first one is right outside of my room. It is the dinning area. The second picture is of the living area. It is really one big great room. It is very nice and actually large for NYC...at least that is always what people say when they come over. My roommates actually had to break the back of the couch to get it in the door. They got it up 4 flights of stairs, but couldn't get it in the door. We hear that often in NYC the practice is to break the backs of couches and then there are companies that will come to your apt. to fix it. We however, have not gotten it fixed. It is actually a really nice couch...inspite of it's broken back!

My NYC apartment...bedroom

Here are some pictures of my bedroom. Yes, my bed is the one unmade...but that is because I just woke up. I set my alarm for 8:15 pm, instead of am. You can see the famous metal hanging closet. My shoes are hanging on the door. Above my bed is the loft. We use it for storage, but with my roommate moving out, one girl thinking about moving in said she wants to sleep up there. If that is the case...we will have a little more floor space. I am also going to include some pictures of the other parts of my apartment.

Fashion Check from Emily

I am wearing black pants, a hot pink cable knit sweater, and my rainboats...because it is raining. I think I look cute! :)

Mom's message

I am pretty frustrated…I am having to email this to emily and she is cutting and pasting this for me because I can’t get the blog to work on my computer. I can pull it up but can’t post! She tried to help me over the phone, but it just wasn’t working. Who knows! I was very proud to see Emily on GMA…(I think I am getting the lingo down, as well!) I thought she looked gorgeous! Also…I was proud of the Rockets on Friday and the Tigers on Saturday….the Cougars almost pulled it off, and as Dad says….they are very much improved over last year! Hooray! I am so excited for Christmas so that we can all be together for the holidays. Be thinking of stuff you want to do while you are all here. I am so excited to have all three of our little darlings here! They will have so much fun together. Hope all is well with everybody and can you all please email me with what you are currently wearing…just doing a little fashion check! Aw…just kidding! I love you guys…Mimi

Lectures are part of the job!

I talked to Grandma last night too. She said she was already in bed, but I had a heck of a time getting off the phone with her. Her speach was a little slurred, but I figured that was due to how tired she said she was. She said Sunday takes a lot out of her. I tried to convince her to come to SA for Christmas, but she won't hear of it. Just to report dad...I talked to her last Sunday and on her birthday, which makes twice last week and once this week. I do try to call her weekly...just FYI...I have learned something from all your lectures, just so you know! :)

PS from Papa

Forgot this part: I also talked to Grandma Call on Sunday. 91, that is amazing. She said the best part of her birthday was hearing from so many of her family. It made her day. I know you are all busy but not too busy to take a few minutes a week and call your Grandparents. None of them are getting younger. With Grandma's age and Stephen grandparents and Britni's grandmother's health issues we never know how much longer any of them will be with us. One thing I have learned as a grandparent is how much love and happiness comes from grandchildren and to some that is all that is left in their lives is how the grandchildren and great-grandchildren are growing and progressing. (I would not be Papa with out giving you lecture or two once in awhile - right.)

Howdy Fam

Hope you all had a great weekend. Judson beat O'Connor and will move on to next round playing Harlingen in Kingsville. Should be a win for the Rockets. It looks like I will go down with the Super of Schools Dr. (Bro.) Lyman. His fam will be in Dallas and since it is a 2 1/2 hour trip one way, Mimi, Britni and Brooklyn will probably not go. Glad to talk to you all. Sure glad we have Sprint-to-Sprint. Neat to see Em on GMA. We taped it so we will have a Em/GMA Fest when all are here at Christmas. Happy Clemson beat the Gamecocks. Braggin rights are great and last a whole year! BYU almost did it against Utah but from where they were last year the Cougars made great strides and excited to see the Tigers and the Cougars in bowl games. Talked to Aunt Sandra last night. She is back to working (4 hours per week) reviewing nursing charts. She said it takes alot out of her but glad to be working again. She may have to have another surgery on her leg. Will know later. I am not sure she will be around much longer. She has really fought a long fight. Keep her in your prayers. She and Peter are going to his Mom's in Silver City, NM for Thanksgiving.

Well the best part abouth Judson winning is that we will have Joel, Brit and Brooklyn with us for at least part of Thanksgiving. How we will have a real Thanksgiving dinner. Mimi and I were just going to get some take out Chinese food or a "peaza" or something simple. We wish you could all be here with us. I feel that I have really been blessed in my life but the greatest blessings is the Gospel and my wonderful family. I am so thankful for each and everyone of you and espically for Mimi. Without her none of my wonderful family could have been. We are so lucky to have her in our lifes. Love you all mucho, mucho, mucho! Papa

Last GMA picture

Hey guys,
Sorry to keep posting pictures from GMA, but I promise this is the last. My friend Stephanie went with me. They were just about to start filming (live) the weather when she dropped her camera and it went sliding across the floor, right in front of Tony Perkins. His assistant picked it up and they immediately started filming. After they were finished his assistant said, "who's camera?" Stephanie quietly said, "Mine" THen he said, "well, you and your friend come over and lets get a picture with you and Tony." They were all really nice and friendly. Tony is actually not renewing his contract. He is returning to his former job as a weatherman for a Fox affiliate in DC. [Like the way I use the lingo like affiliate...just a little something I picked up at my stint with GMA!:) ] Seriously, he is just ready to go back to where he is from. They don't have anyone to take his place yet, but they are auditioning now. I was hoping they would see me and recognize the weather potintial within...but no such luck! I guess I should have told them about Mitchell, doesn't he want to be a weatherman?

Welcome Brit!

Hey Britni...Welcome on board the BLOG express!
We had a nice quiet Sunday. We got a call this AM from the music person in primary. She wanted to let me know that the primary would be singing two songs for Thanksgiving today! She loves Kate and wanted to make sure she would be there. She said, "I know Kate loves to sing and is one of the best singers so I wanted to let you know, in case you wanted to go over the songs this morning before church." I thanked her, because I had no idea since we were out of town last week. So I told Kate and she got all excited and asked, "I get to sing on the stage all by myself!" I told her no, that the other kids would be singing too. Then she said, "Is it another primary program...do I get to give another talk?" I said, no, it is just you and the other kids singing two songs! I think she was a bit disappointed. So we practiced the songs. She did a good job. She is so cute and looked so sweet up there!
Then as I walked her into primary, the secretary said, "I know you were gone last week, but did you know Kate has to give a talk today?" I said, "No, but we can come up with something." Then she said, "If you have her chap-stick talk from the program, I would love to hear that again!" I just happened to still have it in my primary bag. Then as I was walking down the hall one of the counselor said, "Did you know Kate is supposed to give a talk today?" I said no, I just found out but we had it covered. She said, "Oh, I wish she would give her chap-stick talk again. We just love it...even my nephew told his family about it!" So, Kate gave the "chap-stick" talk! Too funny!
I hope you all have a great week. It won't be too long before we are all together again! I am so excited! I love you all!
Ros

Better Late than Never!

Sorry it has taken me so long to post! It has been so crazy being a football widow, garage sale coordinator, having a part-time job, working in primary, and the greatest job being at home with Brooklyn and being a mom. These should not be excuses, because we ALL have busy lives! Well Brooklyn is growing like crazy! She loves to give hugs, and is starting to stand on her own. I will post pics as soon as I can figure everything out. Things are going well here and em and ros I love seeing the pics. I will post again soon! Gotta run, but am glad I finally got things going!
Brit

Clair's Birthday Cake

Ros couldn't get this picture of Clair's cake to post, so I thought I would give it a try. I hope that Clair's birthday was a success, but of course with Ros as the Party Planner it was...you are an awesome mom. My poor kids will always be like, "Why can't you be like Aunt Rosalind?"

My sister...Brains and fame both!

I am still so mad I was such a blonde that I watch TWO hours of the Today show before calling Em to figure out why I hadn't seen hide nor hair of her! The pictures are awesome! I can't wait to see mom and dad's (or Brit and Joel's) recording! Make sure you guys save it for me!

More GMA pictures

Here are the two co-host pictures with Stephanie and I. Also on today's show was Emeril...you know the famous chef that is always "Kickin' it up a notch" and yelling "Bam". He wasn't so great to pose for pictures with the audience, so these are from him prepping for his TV time! I am not sure why the Charlie Gibson picture turned out blurry, but when Stephanie emails me another one...I will post it. Diane was very beautiful in person. She asked me what my plans for the weekend were. I told her that we would probably be studying. She asked what we studied and I told her. She asked several questions and said she was very impressed. She was really great! I am sad that I missed seeing Robin Roberts, but a girl can't have it all!
It was so much fun!

Good Morning America

Today was the day that I rubbed elbows with the "big wigs" at GMA. Yes, my friend and I rose early and were the second and third people in line. We got great spots and for those of you who missed us...we had a total of about 2 minutes of air time. We got a little more than our 15 seconds, that is according to Stephanie's mom. Most of the time that Tony Perkins was doing the weather with the audience, we were right behind him. There was a lady next to us that tried to be a camera hog, but her husband quickly reminder her that it was not nice to push two girls out of the way just to be on TV. :) It was loads of fun and I would recommend it to anyone. Everyone was so nice and we had a great time. We got pictures of us with three of the four anchors. My personal favorite...Robin Robberts had to leave early to help the movers at her house. To that I have to say, you've got loads of money pay someone to do that! Oh well, we got our pictures taken with the other three. I am only including two because the third one is on Stephanie's camera and she is going to email it to me. When I post it, I will tell you the story of how we got it...it is funny! Well, I hope you all had an eventful day too...I know that I am exhausted!

Sorry this picture of Diane is blurry, because she started walking toward me, right as I snapped the picture.

Love ya all!
