My sweet Daddy

This is a picture of my wonderful dad that I took last Sunday. We recently were told by the doctor that my dad has been preliminarly been diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease. This news was really no shock to us since we have noticed that he has really slowed down the last year or so. Still, we are devistated. My mom is filled with sadness and tears. We are thankful that he has something that will take year to take its toll, but still, we fear the future. Parkinsons in not a curable disease, but medicine will make him feel way better. He will see a neurologist on Jan.3, and he will determine more. I would greatly appriciate your prayers for my family. Thanks

My son plays with barbies!

He also loves this barbie! He carries it around and says, "she pweety mommy!" (pretty)

Hunting for the perfect tree!

Here are the pictures of our day today. Yes, we searched and searched. Did we find the perfect tree? Not really, but it will work. Yes, it is already all decked out. I will post the finished product later in the week.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a very odd Thanksgiving with out Ross this year. He had the opportunity to go home to Wyoming for a week so he took it! We got a great deal on a plane ticket, but the catch is that he would fly home on Thanksgiving day. I decided that since my parents both had to work that day, I would have my family over . I just had to get new plates for my first Thanksgiving. So, here they are.

Happy 31st Birthday LaLa!!

PRINCESSES ON ICE

The girls and I had the honor to go to Princesses on Ice with Lisa Downing (Detert) and her daughter Emily. We were so amazed at the detail. Needless to say, we had a blast!

Camera Happy!!

My girls absolutely love to take pictures. They also like to look at all of our family pictures that I store on our computer. As they were looking the other day, they said, "all the pictures are of just us kids. Daddy is in a few, but you are never in them." I tried to explain to them that the reason is because I am always taking the picture. (which is fine with me) The only real way to make them be fine with the idea that I wasnt in any of the pictures was to let them each take their own pictures of me with them. It is in their blood to take pictures, and they love it. Ross' sister, Jamie is an outstanding photographer. I have her work all over my house. I hope one of my kids follows in her footsteps. I will be interested what the Bichel Christmas card will look like since my son won't smile for the camera-EVER!!
