Thanksgiving '07

We drove to Ohio to spend Thankgiving with The Bonds and to meet Courtney & Trevor's newest cousin, baby Max. We had a fun visit and fell in love with Max. He is one happy kid!

Here's our Smilebox:

Trick-or-Treat

The kids had a fun Halloween this year. Courtney went off with her girlfriends and came home loaded with candy. (This was her first Halloween Trick-0r-Treat without Mom or Dad...yikes!) Trevor went out with his good buddy Erik and Erik's dad. They had a great time golfcarting throughout the neighborhood.

Here are a few pictures taken just before the sun went down:

Jeff's 40th

Jeff turned 40 and we went all out...a family trip to NYC. We had a great time exploring Central Park, eating lots of New York food, and going to Lion King which just blew us away.

Courtney Turns Eleven!

Courtney celebrated her 11th birthday in September with a big slumber party. Eleven guest came and spent the night. Mom didn't get much sleep, but they sure had fun! A family party was hosted by Nana the next day. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed Aunt Sue's yummy mocha trifle on the porch. Year Eleven was off to a great start!

Trevor celebrated turning 8 in August with a Star Wars Party complete with lots of family and one of his best friends, Erik. He was showered with gifts and hugs. It was a great day!

Summer Vacation 2007

We had another great vacation in northern Michigan this year. We started out at Great Wolf Lodge which the kids just love. Next we moved into the cottage where we saw lots of family and enjoyed many warm water days. We spent July 4th in Gaylord where we got to meet all the new baby cousins. It was a memorable vacation!

Mother/Daughter NYC Trip: Day 1

To celebrate Courtney and two of her best friends' 10th birthdays, we took a mother/daughter trip to NYC the week after school got out. We had an absolutely magical time! The weather was perfect, the company was wonderful, and we all had a blast living it up in The Big Apple.

Almost Heaven...West Virginia

We headed up to Showshoe, West Virginia this February Winter Break for a ski trip. It's the only way we'll see snow this year, we fear! The resort was really nice and the weather cooperated for lots of great skiing. We had a roomy condo complete with kitchen, fireplace, balcony and two bathrooms. The little town had everything we could ever need including lots of great food and shopping. There was even a steamy outdoor pool and a huge tent where the kids could play video games, foosball, eurobungy, rock climb, etc... We will plan to return to this spot again next year.

Lordy, Lordy, I am 40!

You know, turning 40 turned out to be a blast! If you haven't done it yet, I highly recommend it. Here's a slideshow of my very fun party: http://smilebox.com/play/4d7a6b354d7a6732664445794e4463304e513d3d0a&sb=1

Happy New Year...2007

We rang in the new year at the country club. It was a fun party and the band was great. (We may be a little biased as the band leader is our friend and neighbor, but everyone else loved them too!)

A Peachtree City Christmas

For the first time ever we stayed home for all of Christmas. With so much family nearby it is no longer necessary to travel. We really enjoyed not having to pack and repack...at least I did!!!

This picture was taken up in Stone Mountain (Okay, I guess we did leave PTC but we can handle a 45 minute drive!)
