Why Pink?

I know, you are probably wondering why I keep changing the background of our blog.  Well, you see, I really wanted to go with the pink background from the very beginning.  My other half wasn't real keen on the idea of the "Fritz Family Blog" being pink (not a man color - I guess) so I gave in and went with something else - OK a couple something else's. 

 Anyway, Criag's gone ---- hunting for 4 days, so what the heck - I'm changing the background!  Enjoy! 

Halloween 2008

This was the nicest Halloween on record for the Fritz family!  We couldn't get over the fact that we could actually walk from house to house instead of getting in and out of the truck to stay warm.  The Giants football team also played that night so we had band music in the background to add to the fun.  

The girls had a great time and were so excited at the beginning that after we left EVERY SINGLE house Rhyan said "mom, I got more candy!"  Finally, I told her that she was going to get candy at every house and she didn't need to keep telling me that she got more candy.  

We got tired of trick-or-treating earlier than I thought, but still got loads of candy - my brother -in-law told me that statistics show that parents eat 90% of collected halloween candy - I think they're right!  

Olivia's 6th Birthday

Today was Olivia's 6th birthday.  I know, I can hardly believe that 6 years ago I was lying in the hospital - watching the ELECTION!!  That November was warm like it has been so far this year and we were so excited to have a new little person in our lives.  Tonight we headed to the Pizza Ranch to celebrate with a couple of Olivia's friends from school.  She got lots of great stuff and will be busy on the webkinz website for the next year or so.  Her pink pony's name is "Rose".  We had a great time and are cherishing our days when the girls still want to spend time with us.  God knows that won't last forever!

About her birthday...

Family Pictures - Take 2

Well, the last try at family pictures didn't turn out too well.  It was windy so we couldn't take the pictures on the deck.  We improvised and went to the garage, but for some reason all the pictures had little whites specks on them.  For our second take we decided that grandpa and grandma with just the grandkids would be good since the pictures are for their Christmas cards anyway.  So, we got the kids together and tried again.  I think it went well.  The weather was nice and we got to take the pictures outside (much better lighting).  All the kids cooperated and we were done in a jiffy.  Take a look!
