Just a few photos

I know I have shamefully neglected this blog, so here are a few photos to prove that we're all still around. I did not take many of these photos, so I hope that no one objects to having me post them.

This is the photo that was on the invitation for Anna's baby blessing in August.

And here are a few photos from that day.

This one is from when we were baby-sitting her in September. She didn't want to hold still (and I didn't want to use flash) so it's a little fuzzy.

This was taken by Neil and Mandi in October.

These are from when we were babysitting her later in October. I was trying out my new camera lens, but I don't think I've got the hang of it yet. 

Grandpa Clay is showing her how to hold her mouth open for a bite (not intentionally of course).

Here are some photos taken by Mandi mid-November.

This is one they put on a Christmas card.

And now a few photos of Melissa's children. I think this one is from May.

And a few random photos of Calvin.

The girls before school on "picture day". I'm so glad they love each other so much.

A couple of Melissa's pictures from Halloween. They went trick-or-treating at Rob's work, where each department was decorated as a different video game (Rob's department did Angry Birds, so he is dressed up as one of the pigs in the game).

 A recent photo of Nate.

Clay let his facial hair grow while he was on his trip to Montana in October. I took this photo on Sunday when he got home, just before making him shave it off because I didn't think a new member of the bishopric should look so scraggly at the baptism we were attending that evening.

And I thought I'd better include a recent photo of me in case everyone has forgotten what I look like. This was taken in early November from the top of Skinners Butte where I had gone hiking with my friend Jody.

There, you're all caught up now. :-)
