Manwaring Highlights

None of us could resist Aspen’s cuteness! Here she is enjoying a corn dog (not to be confused with cattail). Mason enjoying his Ramen. I think I would enjoy my Ramen more if I ate it like that. Mason all tuckered out from the festivities of the holiday. Breck doing some male bonding with what else–electronics! Our fabulous Thanksgiving spread and scrumptious pies! The happy family eating the Thanksgiving meal. Some are too engrossed to pose for the picture, but not our dear hostess…

Maybe next year we’ll have to find someone a little slower so as to not hurt our delicate egos.  Also, going along with tradition, Brad and I ran in our…

I can’t believe that Aubrey is 16. It seems like when one child goes off to college, the others follow in quick succession! When we asked Aubrey what she wanted for her 16th Birthday she said a party at the park with all of her friends (Aubrey’s friend Niamh likes getting her picture taken as much as Brad does). I think everyone had a good time even though it was last minute, a little cold, and very low-key (in typical…
