Thanksgiving at the Greenes


My mom and dad were both here together for Thanksgiving. The boys were so cute with my parents. I cut out Ben's mom (it wasn't intentional!)

It was also Ben's birthday and he decided it would be funny to smash Cameron's face into his cake. Cameron was so mad and embarrassed!

Hi Katie, Did Judy ever share Grandma's donut recipe? I have been enjoying the pictures of the boys. Is Cam still loving school? I leave tomorrow for Charlotte for a few days and then Kiawah, SC. Fun week with all my old pals and some tennis. I see it is already quite chilly in Chicago and Denver too. Guess you will all have to plan a trip south soon. Penny and Rich are coming the end of October, for just a very short stay .
Hugs all around,
Essie

Grandma's Donut Recipe

Does anyone have it? Can we post it here? I can change the settings so only invited members can see our blog that way it won't go out on the net. OR, you could just email it to me if you have it.

Cameron's First Day of School 2009



I know it's hard to tell whether Ryan is crying because he's sad that Cameron is leaving for school or because I am making him sit next to him on the porch! This is Cameron's 2nd year of pre-school, he's 4 1/2.

Horse pictures

I heard some people say that they wish they had pictures of the horses from grandpa’s funeral. My dad took these, unfortunately after the casket was already off.

Hi all! We're anxiously awaiting Greg's return from Thailand in 6 days. We've received a few emails but haven't heard his voice since the end of June. So, this momma will be happy when we have him back home (for a few weeks, at least). Cody graduated from North Harford High School June 3rd- will post a few photos from that. He's getting ready to leave for Allegheny College on August 21st. Greg will leave for UMD at the same time.










I'm posting a few of my favorite pics from Grandpa's birthday too. I hope you enjoy them!










Love,





Pen

He did it!

Lissa and Michael are engaged! Michael took Lissa to Norway to visit Anders and Viva (our exchange student son) and he proposed at his great-grandfather's farm near Luten. Plans are not firm yet, teetering between May and Oct. 2010 but pretty sure the wedding will be at Big Canoe. We'll keep you posted.

Permission!

I added Kevin Ott and Eric Walker to the list of authors on the blog. I had forgotten to follow it so I didn't see the requests. I am happy to see some of you are following it but I'd love to see some of the more far removed Thorsons get into the act. Remind the Don's and the Owens to check it out!!

Any author can add an author, just go to the settings tab and then the permissions tab and invite them!

Enjoy!!
