Here are some pictures of Halloween, Christmas and the ones done professionally. The one of all 5 kids was Bill's surprise Christmas present this year. Since this was pretty much the last year that the older boys will be "single", I thought it a good idea to have them done. It was kept a secret by all up to about a week before Christmas. I had some of the Aunt's and Uncle's pictures wrapped under the tree. Cara decided she wanted to see what was in one of the pretty packages. So one evening while I was gone, she opened one of the pictures and Bill saw it. He is pretty happy about it though. Now back to the older boys being "single"...Tom doesn't have a steady girlfriend and Matt and his long term girlfriend are now engaged. In other news...as of December 1, 2008 Bill no longer ownes a Coldwell Banker office, but he in now a manager for 2 of Better Homes and Gardens The Masiello Group. You can check them out at http://www.masiello.com/. We are all doing well. The kids are growing like mad and the boys love being in school. The top of Lucas' head comes up to about the bottom of my neck and his uniform size went up 2 sizes over the summer. Even though Brian is 42lbs, he is still a peanut. He finally moved up to 4T undies. Brian has hit a couple of milestones. He lost his first tooth(bottom front) and we took the side rale off of his bed. I believe all of Cara's growth is in her hair and teeth. She has 3 coming in right now. She has the height of an 18 month old with the waist of a 9 month old. She just went to 12 month old onsies. The weather is COLD but we are surviving it. We have been and are very blessed. Our love to all and we wish you a Happy New Year.
