Monster Bash

Here's Morgan, Emily and Kate at the Monster Bash on Saturday night.

The First Fairy House

Looks like the poor fairy cousins lived here ;)

Lark's Fairy House

Morgan spent a week at Girl Scout day camp this summer. The theme of the week was Magical Kingdom. They made magic wands and crowns, and fairy houses. We decided to build a fairy house in our back yard. We now have a Wood Fairy named Lark who lives in the fairy house. She uses the house to relax with her friends, a frog named Mudlegs and a blue bird named Blue Bill. Lark leaves notes in the mailbox for Morgan and loves the house we built for her. Here are some pictures. (Dan's PS3 died the weekend Morgan and I went to Canada, the house got a major face lift while we were gone - earlier photos to follow).

A favorite

Just looking through my Disney pictures from last year to order some for a calendar for Dan. This has got to be one of my all time favorites. Not the best, but Morgan's expression just warms my heart.

Birthday Fun with Fondue!

I'm very very belated in posting this, but better late than never right?

We brought Morgan to The Melting Pot for dessert and gifts on her 8th birthday. Here she is enjoying herself and her dessert. She wasn't crazy about the marshmallows, as you can see in the last picture.

Relay for Life

There's not a lot I can say about the Relay for Life. It was hot, it was so much fun, but it was also a very very emotional day. I had a great time and laughed a lot (especially around 2 and 3 am :) ). Thank goodness we weren't right above the sprinklers, that's a 4:18 am wake-up call I got to do without.

Smiles for Miles was named Best New Team and we raised more than $8,000 for cancer research. What a wonderful and giving group of friends we have!

Morgan was a dream. She spent nearly 12 hours in the heat and sun and only complained a little (when she was told she had to leave ;) ).

Locks of Love

Morgan and I grew our hair out to donate for wig-making. Yesterday was the big day to get the cut! Morgan cut off more than a foot, and mine was about 10 or 11 inches. Here are before and after photos.
