Over Thanksgiving, Mike's cousin Heather came into town and did a family photo session with us. She was so laid-back and made the whole thing so fun that my kids actually enjoyed getting our pictures done! That is a miracle to say the least. Check out Heather's site sometime... www.heatherannette.com

Michael and Katie having an afternoon tea party...

Austin in the car today: I wish I were 16 so I could take a girl on a date.
Me: What girl would you take?
Austin: A cute one.
Me: Hmm...good choice.
Austin: You're the girl I wanna take, Mom. (you can see why I'm a sucker for this one)
Me: Aaaww, really? Where would we go?
Austin: To the North Pole. We'd visit Santa's house & play with the penguins.

Wow. I'm thinkin' that might trump my first date with Mike ;)
