Christmas Picture 06


He'd be cute on the wall


Kids are so lazy these days

Chubby Cheeks Combo


Caden on the short bus


Air Hockey to the Power of 12


My new favorite game, International Shoot-out. Not for the faint of heart. Don't let the fact that it is in Chucky Cheese fool you. Finally, a way to make soccer fun.
Just kidding Brian G.

Joy Ride


Cup'le of Good Years


Alas, Justin and Tracie win the Poff Cup again.

We have been wondering why Caden has been getting crossed-eyed lately


YM Reunion


Some of the couples from our old "young marrieds" group got together for Thanksgiving.

And he's safe!

Caden and Trevor fight for Michelle's attention.



Beautiful bride

She still fits in her wedding dress after 6 years........ and a baby.
My tux exploded shortly after I forced it on.

Poff Retreat 06


Every year we get together with the Poff side of the family for a long weekend at a cabin in the woods.
This years highlights included a Poff version of Amazing Race. Jerry, Grandma and Grandpa beat us all, but I not ruling out that they cheated. The annual hula-hoop contest, where my nephew Tyler hooped it for an hour (I'm not kidding). To bad you can't put that kind of stuff on a resume.
As usual there is a unspoken competition between me and Janelle's brothers about who can start the best fire with nothing but will power and wet papertowels. By next year, my nickname will be Elijah.

The kids love hanging around me


Fe, Fi, Foe, Fum

It's the spice


Looks like a character from the book/movies Dune.
Moe-a-debb......
If you have no idea what I am talking about, it is considered the first and greatest masterpiece of science fiction.

The Pate Curse

So we plan a big weekend to go to the Hot Air Balloon Rally on Saturday and apple picking on Sunday.

The balloon rally was called off due to a little breeze. We got lucky and caught the lone balloon inflated for the entire 5 seconds.

The apple orchard closed early and because it was the last weekend of the season, there were more apples on the ground that on the trees.

Just my luck, I guess
