Family Photo
Here's everyone together at Thanksgiving. We so rarely get a complete family photo like this - I'm so glad we managed to get one this time!

Turkeys for Turkeys
I made these as a dessert for the kids after Thanksgiving dinner. I saw a picture of them online, and decided to try them. They turned out pretty good, all things considered. They've got candy corn feathers and noses, Oreo cook bases, a Whopper for a head, and a Reese's Cup for a body. The kids loved them!

Cuddling
Here's a shot of Lori and the kids cuddling on the couch last weekend. It's cute, but doesn't Carter look a little creepy, with that sideways stare at the camera?

Just a pair of cute pictures I found on the camera. Carter is wearing a Wonder Woman costume, and Sean is just being a goof. |

Bee Bug
Last year when Sean was still in preschool, he had to choose his "Indian Name", and he went with "Rocket Scarecrow". Well Carter got her chance this year, and went with "Bee Bug". Isn't she a cutie?

Girl’s Weekend
Lori, her Mom, and Carter all went up north last weekend for a "Girl's Weekend". They did a little swimming, a little shopping, and a bit of just plain relaxing.

Bowl Blanks
Another thing I've been busy with with the wood out back - cutting some turning stock, especially bowl blanks. I can't wait to start turning these! Most of it is spalted hickory, I think. And there's a smattering of yellow birch, ash, and oak in there too.

Hickory Burls
A few weeks ago, I was driving down the driveway when I looked to my left at a tree that has been dead and lying across the creek for as long as we've lived here. For some reason, this was the first time I had ever noticed that the thing was thoroughly covered with burls! Jackpot! So far, I've cut about 1/3 of them off and moved them into the garage to dry. They should make some amazing turning stock - I can't wait to dig into them! The other cool part that I should have expected was that while cutting the hickory, it smelled just like barbeque. Awesome!
