  • Melanie Watson, 10.28.08:
    Melanie Watson : Chris, we will post some pretty fall pictures soon. Sadly there weren't as many fall leaves as we would have liked to see. Its been staying warmer longer so the leaves were just starting to turn when we were there. I bet they will be stunning in the next couple weeks!

    Tara, NFC Photography and Makeup Design : Hilarious! I have 2 pit bulls that get into EVERYTHING. We have a trash can with a revolving lid and I've come home to find her laying in the corner, pouting with the trash can lid literally stuck around her neck. She likes to snoop in the trash can too much. :)
  • Kari, 10.20.08:
    Kari : When I see these pictures, I'm reminded of being at the little Temple house with Jackson. When I was in the other room doing my hair, I kept hearing Andrew yell "Jackson!" every few minutes, and then there would be a crash of furniture. He is the most wonderfully clumsy dog ever!! :O)
