Halloween 2008

Here is this year's ridiculous costumes! I bought a hot dog costume for the dog and then got this "great" idea that we should be mustard and ketchup. Dusted off the sewing machine and started creating our costumes.....not too bad for a few nights worth of work. Here we are at Marcy and

Andrew's annual party, we were not allowed to bring Mac. Here is his replacement for the evening. We also carved our pumpkins but can not reveal what they look like till voting has been done in the first Annual Pore Family Pumpkin Carving Contest. Check back soon to see our enties (the winners) for the contest.

Facebook

WOW! We have finally joined Facebook. I have been avoiding following the crowd because I was not a fan of MySpace and thought this was just another version of it. I have been proven wrong and find myself spending too much time typing in names of friends that I have lost touch with. I was completely sold on Facebook when I found our Swedish exchange sister. After spending years wondering how she is doing and how in the heck would we ever find her again........WE FOUND HER!!!!! We will continue to keep up this blog and Facebook with photos.

I have added a link to Sarah East Photography in our "Important People and Places." She has a great eye for photography! Please check out her website and browse her work. In the image above she has captured her daughter Lilly perfectly.

Norwich Homecoming Trip

For those who did not know, I went to a private military college. I was once a rook who had to do all the running, push-ups, sit-up, ironing uniforms and marching. Marching was tough for a gal who did not know her left from her right, THANKS MOM! This was my first trip up to Norwich's Homecoming in 7 years! It was a short trip up north to Vermont and New Hampshire but well worth it to see the Wick, Granny, Uncle Bobby and Dad!

Passed Test Eight!

Don't want to talk about the last test, number nine. Maybe in six months.

All the cats were lined up waiting for their dinner. I think Mo' was getting really irritable without his food!

Nothing really new.....

I know folks check our blog to see what is going on. Well there are no new posts because there is really nothing new to talk about. No word on my last two exams to be a licensed architect. Shawn's football team won their first game, unfortunately they were not so lucky in their second. It was a great season opener for his kids and it was an exciting game to watch. Tonight is game three, we all have our fingers crossed, might be another close one. The University of Tennessee football team started out with a bang, losing to UCLA. It looks like it is going to be another tough year to be a Vol (Volunteers) fan, at least for football. Next weekend I am going to Norwich's Homecoming, first time since graduating in 2001! This will make two trips there in a year. I will get to meet up with Granny and spend some time with her. Pa's name is getting engraved in a memorial wall so we wanted to be at the dedication and attend the football game in Pa's memory as well. Keep checking back, hope to have some exciting news soon!
