I improvised and while photoshop isn’t working right now, I have tried to use Microsoft’s free tool Paint to the best of it’s ability (which isn’t much) to fix the background (which isn’t great) for November and December.  Looks like my computer needs (after 3 years) a good clean WIPE and reinstall.  That’s an after christmas project that’s for sure!!

So, here is November and the horrid background to go with it.  I do apologize if I break anyone’s monitor.

Added some Halloween pictures to the October page.  Be sure to refresh your web browser to see the latest installment.  This year, Addison celebrated Halloween with her friends Cooper, Carter, Tyler and Emily!

I hope to have other pictures up soon.  They have been uploaded, but my Photoshop is on the fritz so, I can’t readily resize my backgrounds.  Hopefully I’ll have that worked out and November/December’s pictures online soon!

This month was crazy busy with all the cool street festivals and parties.  This month was my month to host Bunko!!  Boy was that fun!  All the girls dressed up and I made some spooky treats for them!

Be on the lookout for more pictures soon as we travel to Tate Farms hopefully this Friday or Saturday to pick some pumpkins and play in corn bins!  OF course, we’ve been trying to get over there all month and with football and rain, we haven’t made it!!

I’m alive I promise.  Just my computer is all nutzy.  I think that I have a virus, or my hard drive is going to take a dive off a high cliff soon.  Either way, my computer is getting wiped very soon.  I refuse to buy virus software, but sometimes…well…times like this…I wish had a good virus program.  Oh well, I’d rather wipe it.  That’s the nerd in me talking of course.   I have a couple months pictures to catch you guys up on.  I’ve uploaded August and September, but I also have some birthday pictures to work on.  I’ll do that tomorrow.  For now,  you must be happy with a two month update.

Shannon has been busy losing football games this year.  Yes, West Morgan is having a record year losing.  It’s not been a happy house at the Shaw household I can tell you.  But, hey, it’s almost over on Thursday!  Thursday is the MAGIC day when the footballs retire for the season and I get my husband back for a few short months.  He says “But Heather, it’s only 3 months out of the year.” Any football coach tells you that is LYING through their teeth.  It most certainly isn’t  the standard 3 months out of the year.  Well, yeah, it is for the fans.  There is so much behind the scenes crap that goes into preparing and training for a short 3 months, that it takes a whopping (and brace yourselves) 9 months out of theyear.  You can totally conceive and birth a baby in that length of time!! 

Addy is perfect as always.  And, she’s bound and determined to come into our bedroom every night.  She does okay to go to sleep by herself in her bed, but somewhere between 12:00-3:30am, she’s got pillows and ”ne-ne” in hand.  Which I’ve gotten use to it, and apparently she has to, so I think it’s okay.  As long as I get my “mommy time” when she goes to sleep to do FUN things like maintain my webpage, I’m happy!

So, here’s the catch up!
