Day and then the Shade (12.10)

Matt drove all the way from Texas to meet his newest primita Egypt. While Matt was visiting, Chris and Kellisa had to take him on some of our favorite local hiking trails. In addition, we also explored some of the areas best off road trails with Matt's new 4X4. Besides a few...many scratches to Matt's truck, everyone had a great time!

The Arrival: Egypt's First Few Weeks

Halloween 2010

Life was extremely crazy considering Egypt was placed with us on October 13th. With little time for planning, we used Kellisa's Minnie Mouse costume for Egypt. Now that Kellisa is in middle school, she could not wear a costume, so she wore a bat t-shirt.

This was cute for the few seconds it lasted:

After school, Kellisa wore her baseball uniform. Trick or treating at the Avenues Mall:
