Brice stops in

Brice came by last week for a visit. It was his first time seeing Baby Gabi. We were all happy to see him and are wishing him the best of luck in Oklahoma. Brice will be there for a few months and then hopefully be calling home with some good news. I think these are the first pictures of all the Sumter grands ... we are hoping to get all the McDuffie grandchildren together over Thanksgiving for a picture.

Parker

How could such a cute little girl give her momma soooo much trouble? I think the last picture might give us a clue.

Halloween costumes

We didn't mean to, but we had ended up with a themed Halloween.
Can you guess the movie???

Halloween Carnivals

Here are some shots from the Millwood and First Presbyterian Halloween Carnivals. Parker and Aunt Jen went with V and Suyan to the Millwood Elementary Carnival and of course came home with prizes from the costume contest. Then we all went to the carnival at Jessica and Steven's church. Is it bad that the only time I go to church is on Halloween?

Halloween on Haynesworth

I'm not really sure how it started, (I'm sure Dad has the unabridged story), but Halloween has always been alot of fun with and for the McDuffies. After a couple of years off, Halloween on Hampton has been relocated to its most probable "final resting place." Complete with strobe and black lights, witches and goblins, coffins and skeletons, the corner of Haynesworth and Guignard has never seemed so unapproachable. With more visitors than expected I'm sure this marks the reincarnation of many more terrified mothers leaving their babies to fend for themselves as they run in fear from the sick and twisted sense of humor of Angus and Sue.

October Family Pics

Hey Familia,

Of course my idea about building a webpage was just going nowhere ... so thanks to Scott, we now have this cool new blog. Quick update ... Gabi is 4 months old and in the 75% in all here little baby growing up categories, which of course means she is already an overachiever. Speaking of overachiever ... Suyan made the academic and behavioral honor roll and of course perfect attendance. Veronica deserves an award just for staying with me in Sumter ... but maybe I am her reward. (bada bing) Halloween pictures to follow soon.
