...and NO MORE pictures after these...
Brett helps hold up Brody. Such a serious young man.
Barb didn't get any pictures on the ice, but here she is at the house. She was without Bobby, who was in Dallas getting rewarded for all his hard work.
Family Portrait #1. Since Bruce couldn't figure out how to set the timer on his camera we had to do two pics. Mike took the other group shot.
Yes, Cate is crying. Daddy has a loud voice and sometimes he yells without yelling... But Cate doesn't know the difference, and I made her cry. Bad daddy, bad.
...and MORE pictures...
Molly Baker had a tough time of it. She fell hard on her recently-damaged arm, and sat out for a while. She tuffed it out though and came back for a couple more falls on the ice.
Polar Ice has a play area, too, and Cate & Trevor got in a game or two.
Nice smile, Trevor!!! Smile like ya mean it!!! Thanks for the picture, Uncle Mike.
...and more pictures...
Caroline (Belle of the Ball) Ozer had a very nice time, never straying too far from the wall (I think she was just trying to stay near the small children that had never skated before so that she could help them if necessary).
Mike Haggerty was ever-present, watching over the proceedings to make sure that nobody got out of hand. No fights erupted on the ice the whole time Mike was there.
Blake Norton is probably going to be a pro hockey player. Not necessarily because he is a good skater, but because Blake is a very popular hockey name.
I am not sure, but I think Trevor Norton is asking us to look at his skates. Or maybe he is pointing down, as if to say, "I am going down".
...more pictures...
The Norton's (that made it down to the skate party)
Maggie pretty much dragged Cate around the whole time (in spite of Cate saying how fast she was going).
Judy and Meghan Baker performing a duet.
Sara wasn't holding on to the wall the WHOLE time.
Skate Day - More Pictures (4 at a time)
Michael "Gretzky" Norton tears up the ice.
Maggie and Sara hamming it up for the camera.
A couple of Bakers... Judy and McKenna.
Brett Norton about to get checked by Uncle Bruce. Again.

Favorite Picture of the Day
We did a skate day at Polar Ice with pretty much every Haggerty (Maggie's side of the family). This is MY favorite picture from the day. There 140 other pictures, but this one is MY favorite. And since I am the one that does the posting, I get to be selfish now and then. Photo credit: Maggie Penman
I will post a lot more pictures tomorrow or the next day, I am sure.
It was a lot of fun. Cate had her first skate experience, and she did about as expected. Maggie would carry Cate along the ice and Cate would say (over and over and over), "Look at me! I'm going fast!" She really liked it a lot. I am afraid that she will want to take ice skating lessons when she is a little older. (cash register sound)
For myself... I am getting older. I could still skate, but of course not like I used to, and when I first stepped on the ice I felt like I had NEVER skated before. It took a while to get my legs. Oh well... aging is inevitable.
Thank God for the children, without them there would be no reason to grow old.

Happy Thanksgiving 2008
I hope I got a little bit of everyone in this collage! My first attempt left out Jennifer and Cate. That's the version I emailed to EVERYONE. This one is only available on Blogger. I think I got everyone...
It's a shame the internet doesn't have a "scratch n' sniff" capability. Pictures just don't give this meal justice.

Pumpkin Patch 2008
Jennifer treated everyone to a nice morning at the Pumpkin Patch near her home. Cate found a cute little pumpkin with warts all over it. The kid's got taste, what can I tell ya?

Winter Color
Maggie and Cate put in the winter color this past weekend.
As with everything, Cate had to get her hands dirty. Literally.
