Fall Soccer 2008

Thanks Coach Labuda! See you in the Spring!

Jack O Lanterns!

Happy Halloween! Here are some of the Takash works of art!

Willy is 5!

What do you get when you invite 20 kiddies to a party at your house? Messes! We painted pumpkins, made our own mud pies, used silly string (obviously) and destroyed a donkey pinata with the help of Daddy!

Maggie's Haircut

I think this is a lesson that we all learn when we're 20 something and look back on our kiddie pictures. "Mom, why did I always have that haircut?" "Because you wouldn't let me brush it Dear." Sound familiar?!

Did we go short enough? Only time will tell! Thanks 'No More Tangles'!

Dinge's Pumpkin Patch in Beautiful Indiana

The camera broke! Here's a short but sweet video of our harvest day out. Thanks to Grandpa Joe for all the pumpkins! Maggie made us video her WHOLE PONY RIDE, I'll spare you those details! We also hit the Dinosaur Corn Maze, Corn Tunnel, hot apple cider and saw our old city pals, the Bailey's.

Friday's Fab Five

Every Friday the Fab Five invade someone's home and life to make it a little crazier. This is the Takash week! Aren't they cute! Together they are 21 years old :-) Hopefully they're not playing in the bar right now!

From left to right: Brody, Willy, Shane, Ben and GB. Future NRA members :-(

White Sox vs. Tigers 9/29

We all managed to stay sane through a 3 hour rain delay! Thanks to some good old fashioned tailgating at Uncle Terry's house, ball park franks and a White Sox WIN!

Willy's best bud Brody was along for the crazy ride!

The fine line

between fun and fear!




May we all learn this lesson at the age of 3!
