Nate's First Haircut




Nate has always had crazy hair!!! His hair sticks straight up and at 7 months he needed a trim. I took him to Chatters in Bower Mall. He sat really good in the chair until a piece of hair fell in his face. Then, came the tears. This is a polaroid they took of him. It was well worth it because he looks so handsome with his new do!

Small Town, Big Dreams




My brother Michael is the strength and conditioning coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins. His dream came true when they won the Stanley Cup this year! August 22nd was his day with the cup and he shared it in Elnora with many friends and family. It was an unbelievable day and one our family will never forget!

Giraffes, Cows, Skunks and Witches Oh My!




Sherry and Brian brought the kids down to celebrate Halloween with us. It was so much fun. We carved pumpkins in the afternoon and then got all the kids ready for trick or treating. They looked so cute in their costumes. Fun, fun, fun!

Thanksgiving



We celebrated Nate's first Thanksgiving in Mayerthorpe. Grandma and Grandpa Faoro came over for a visit.
