Why is (techno-)life so hard? Or, here are the halloween pictures, finally.


I couldn't find the cord to connect my camera to the computer to download the pictures from Halloween.  I took my office apart (and there it remains) looking for it, but still couldn't find it.  I finally stop at Radio Shack and buy a universal cord, now my camera has died and it must have power to download the pictures.  I can't find the battery charger that plugs into the wall.  Again, tear apart the office.  No charger.  I remember I took it on the last trip and it's in a little zippered bag somewhere, but can't find that.  Meanwhile, Emme shows me the little slot in the front of my laptop where I can put the SD memory card and get the pictures off my camera, so I finally am able to download the pictures.  This morning I find the bag with the battery charger.  Hurray!  Wait...where is the battery in the twice-torn apart office?  I-don't-know! Uggggggg!!!!!

Anyway, here are the pictures:

Do you get it?  Michelle was the garden sprite, Chelsea the garden and Emma the gardner, who later changed into a ketchup costume.  Now, the precious grandchildren:

Aww everyone looks so cute! I especially like the little kids :) but wow you guys were really clever with the "gardening" theme for costumes I don't think we've ever tied all our costumes together like that haha.

Oh my goodness, you two look so regal! I wish I could have seen you in person!

I know, Hayley, it was very clever. I think it was Michelle's idea.

I wish you could have been here, too, Jen!

OK, you guys look exactly like you did when you left Beaumont. How dare you!!!! And I know there is no botox, nutri-systems, face lifting or tummy tucking. I don't dress up for Halloween--the only time Eric and I did was at the Packards many moons ago and we were Raggedy Ann and Andy. Now we dress up like a grandma and a grandpa. Cheap costume, you just stay in what you put on in the morning and say, "See I have been in my costume all day".

Really, though, you guys look great, you have beautiful children and the grandchildren are as cute as ours, isn't that amazing how that happens!!!

It is so great to see pictures of a happy family. And it is even greater when you know them as forever friends, even though we haven't seen you guys in years. Thank goodness for the "techno-life" so we can keep in touch through blogging.
