Today was the big day for family pictures. Why does it have to be so cold?! We headed down to Morris Avenue to see what kind of pictures that we could get. I have to say, it didn't go well. Bella did not want to cooperate at all!! Not to mention we were all freezing. We got pictures of each of the kids individually, and hopefully a good family picture but NO picture of all three kids together. It is close to impossible to get three kids in one place..much less all smiling!! Here is a picture of sweet Johanna Cosby who did our pictures. She is very talented, and patient!! You should check out her website if you are looking for someone to take pictures for you. I will post a link to her website. Downtown we didn't get a picture of all three of the kids together, Johanna stopped back by our house after naps to try again. Still, NO LUCK with Bella. I even tried bribing her with a new snow white barbie, but no barbie for Bella this time around. I can't wait to see how some of the pictures turned out!!

After the massive failure that was planned photography, we hoped to lift our spirits with a couple of college football victories by the Tigers of Missouri and Auburn. We went over to Susan and Gary's first for a pregame meal (kindly prepared by Susan). After an hour there, we shuttled to Pat and James for the first half of the Auburn game. All of the regulars were there, and the Auburn game was on downstairs, with the Alabama game on upstairs. The first half was a success, with Auburn taking a 14-7 lead. But the girls were tired, so home and bed was calling. Upon returning home, the girls and Nichole put on the PJs and retired to more comfortable accommodations, while Taylor and myself braved the cold back to Kyler's house. We had to see his new 40-inch Sony Bravia LCD. It was a beautiful work of craftmanship. Unfortunately, the Auburn game which it was showing was not so beautiful. An ineffective and totally hapless Auburn team gave the game to Kentucky in the 4th quarter (a penalty-ridden drive and a seemingly porous and middle school like defense). And Auburn shamefully fell to Kentucky 21-14, at home, for the first time in 28 years. Plain embarrassing. Then Missouri proceeded to be sodomized by the referees in a 33-17 loss. I now believe that competitive sports would be better served by eliminating any type of organized officials. Oh well, life goes on. Overall, it was a busy and productive day, highlighted by failed picture taking and fruitless efforts on the gridiron. But the day was beautiful because of the time spent with my family. It goes to show that no matter what hurdles life throws your way, if you can jump those hurdles with your family by your side, the jump is not quite as high...- Tanner
