Puppet Theater

This was Santa's big surprise!!!

Still not sure how he got this down the chimney??

We have already seen lots of entertaining puppet plays!

Merry Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas!

Everyone is happy and healthy.

Caerlleon and Ryan got lots of wonderful suprises from Santa.

Ryley had his first Christmas and was very entertained with Ryan, Caerlleon and all the wrapping paper!

These are a few pictures from our Christmas morning!

High Falls, Dekalb County, AL

We like to visit a relatively unheard-of place, High Falls County Park in Dekalb County. It's about an hour or so from our house, and about half that from the lake house in Guntersville. It's absolutely stunning, and since not that many people know about it, it's not over-exposed. If you ever get the chance to visit, you should, but shhhh....don't tell too many people!

Caerlleon ran in the Autumn Chase fun run.

Our friend Shelly was kind enough to run the one mile race with her.

They finished the race in just under 10 minutes-not bad for such short little legs.

Fighting and smiling

Ryley was 9 weeks old yesterday.

Time flies when you are having fun!!!

We got one fighting picture and one smile.

The McMillen children

We are so lucky that the children all get along so well.

Caerlleon and Ryan do the best job of being Ryley's big brother and sister.

They are always holding, singing and reading to him.

He loves it when they are around.

Gunther and Caerlleon

Gunther is growing before our eyes.

At four months old he is almost 25 pounds!!!

Usually we dont let people smoke in the house but Gunther has been an exception.
