Christmas

What a Monkey!

Being too young to do real rock climbing, Joseph finds alternatives to strengthen his upper body. Derek watches happily.

Derek Is Cute

I just wanted to post these pictures because I think he is so cute.

Taste of an Ice Storm

This was our first hint of a North Carolina ice storm. Our car was completely iced over; although, not as thick as the one recently in switzerland. Luckily, Frank was finished with finals and so didn't have to venture out in the early morning when the roads were still bad. Our power went out for about 3-4 hours. The best part - the grocery store reduced the price of their cold produce during the storm. So we got grapes and raspberries cheap in December.

Brothers

Joseph and Derek love it when I take their picture together.

Halloween

First you have to design the pumpkin.

Then you carve it
Happy Halloween!
