Madison and Riley serving the Trick or Treaters


Halloween 2008












How nice it is to live in a development where the houses are situated so cozily that it took only 45 minutes for me to walk the entire development and fill the girl's buckets in a mere 45 minutes!!!

How do you leave a comment????

I've heard from a couple of people that they didn't know how to leave a comment on the blog, so here a some quick instructions (if you still need help, drop me an email).

1. At the end of the blog post that you want to comment on, click on the blue letters "0 comments" (of course, if someone else has commented, it may say 1, 2, 3, etc comments).
2. Type your comment in the box that appears under the words "Leave Your Comment".
3. After typing you comment, copy the word you see in the "Word Verification" section.
4. If you have a Google account, type in your name and password. If not, you can register for a new account by selecting "Sign Up Here".
5. Enter all info in the sections to create your google account.
6. That's it, now you can use this name/password to leave all the comments you'd like!

Don't Forget Riley


Riley was a little bummed that she was not involved in the pics yesterday (she was transmission shopping with Daddy). So here's a peek at our picture shoot with Aunt Cathy today. Enjoy!

We made a friend!

We took the girls for a bike ride to the park/playground again tonight, and we made our first friend! A very cool mom from Minnesota with three little girls ages 5, 3 1/2 and 6 months (how cool!). She, fortunately, was just as excited to see us because she said that there are not usually many other kids their ages at the park. Very cool. She also gave me some great Black Friday tips (you know, the Kohl's that will be less packed early that day). We all know that you have to make your plans early!

16687 N. 175th Drive, Surprise, AZ 85388



We have arrived!

Well, we are finally settling into our new home in Arizona. The weather is gorgeous- 90s during the day, and cools down to a very comfortable 60 or so at night (and you have to love the lack of humidity!). We took the girls hiking to the White Tank Moutains earlier this week, and they enjoyed playing at the Surprise area playground and lake over the weekend. Grandma and Poppa Soeder returned home early Tuesday morning, and we have been doing a lot of unpacking, decorating and exploring since. We are all loving the convenience of everything (Mom-Mom Gallagher- there's a Kohl's only 8 minutes away!) and I can't get enough Panda Express and Macayo's!!
