Trick or Treat

Last night Emily and I greeted Trick or Treaters as they came to the door. Emily mainly just stared at the kids but she had a good time playing in between guests. The cutest outfit of the night (besides Emily's of course) was a puppy dog dressed up like a chicken:


I got the dress back today that I smocked. The lady that taught me how to smock put the dress together for me. I'm going to have her 9 month pictures taken in it. It's a little big on her but that just means she can wear it longer!

Bud and Emily Updates

Emily and Bud both had doctor appointments this past week. But got his teeth cleaned on Thursday so he had to be sedated for the procedure. He did fine. We have to continue his antibiotics for the week due to the bacteria in his mouth but the vet said all looked good. He has a couple of cavities on his back teeth but on dogs you just leave those alone. We also have some doggie toothpaste we have to use now to brush Bud's teeth . . . fun times!

Emily went to the doctor on Friday for her 9 month checkup. She is 28 1/4 inches long and 15 lbs 14 oz. She is doing well! I thought we were going to go to the doctor for the first time and not get any shots but she got her flu shot. She did well though and had no effects from it so that is great. She is going on Monday to an eye doctor for them to check out her clogged tear duct.

Hodge Podge

Tonight I'm posting a hodge podge of pictures. I was going thru my pictures folder on my PC and found some I forgot were on there. First off though . . . .Emily pulled up to a standing position all by herself today! I grabbed the camera right before she fell.


Here is a picture of Joe that I don't remember taking. Apparently I was playing around with the black and white feature:
Here is a picture of Joe and his best friend Bob. They've been friends since Joe was 6. Joe thinks this picture was taken in 1991.This was our first Christmas together when we were dating. This was taken in 1994 . . . we looked so young!!!
Here is a picture I found of my Granny B's brothers and sisters. Granny B is my mom's mom. My great-grandmother had 15 children . . . 5 "singles" and 5 sets of twins!!!! Oh my! One set of twins only lived for a very short time (maybe a few hours or a few days . . . I can't remember), 1 sister died at 9 from blood poisoning, and 1 sister died in the 50s; so in this picture there are only 11 children shown.

Granny B is the lady on the 2nd row on the far right in the green dress. She had a twin brother named Eugene and they both died of Alzheimer's. Their names were Eugene and Adene . . . hee hee. Here are all their names . . . I'm sure you will get a laugh out of some of them.

Front row from left to right: Boyd (twin-Maude-died in 50s), Faye (twin-Wade), Mary, Velma(twin-Selma-died at 9)

2nd row left to right: Eugene(twin-GrannyB), Bertha (oldest child), Tommie (youngest child), Adene "Granny B"

3rd row from left to right: Andrew, Ivy, Wade

The twins that died as babies were Era and Eva. The only 2 living now are Aunt Faye (106) and Aunt Tommie (93).
