Look out! Next he'll be climbing the Empire State building.

Thanks....

Melki, he'll have to scoot on his butt up that building....that's what he's still doing!

Very cute!

Thanks, Gator

I have read every Connolly book and you will not be disappointed.

Grand Lake, CO

Lake Granby...



Unseasonably warm the first four days...



Then the snow showed up...

Nice pictures, Lee.

I had to try out the "couch" we put together. With a throw pillow, coffee table and fire pit...



My son Caleb had to give it a try...



Two 'ol places up there...

Thank you, T!

That couch looks so comfortable, I could just curl up there and take a nap.

Get four guys together in the woods.... late in the day, no critters around, and deciding we needed something to sit on. :)

Great shots, Lee!

Thanks, Gator.

Awesome photos, Lee! Lovin that tree stump :)

Great pictures, Lee!

Thank you, ladies.

Lucas' first grade picture.

What a cute young Jedi :)
I think he looks a lot like you, Tressa

Wow, what a good looking kid and his head is proportioned just right. I'm jealous!

He does look like you Tressa
How about those eyes. Are they gray?

Thanks, guys. Especially for saying he favors me. What mom wouldn't love that? Well, I can think of some but you KWIM.

He did not inherit my husband's grizzly skull, thank God. He's got my smaller head.

Michael, his eyes are a beautiful shade of green, just like my mom's and Brooks' sister. He inherited his almond-shaped eyes from Brooks' side of the family.

I'm very pleased with this year's school pic. As you are all aware, you never know how they're going to turn out.

Love the picture, Tressa! It reminds me of my sons class pictures. I could look back and know what he was into by what t-shirt he was wearing. Last years school picture I didn't get to see it till he cleaned out his locker at the end of the year, boys! Gotta love teenage boys. My daughter on the other hand would spend days before picture day picking out the right outfit and how her hair was going to look. Then ran home when the pictures were passed out to show us.

I also, think Lucas looks just like you.

That does sound like boys. At least in first grade the pictures are sent home in their backpacks. I remember when I was older how I agonized over my pictures, but you couldn't tell it now. Ugh, some are horrible.

Thanks for the great compliment. :-)

Hey everyone, I saw this post and thought it was fitting for my news. On my website I have a picture gallery for pictures of horror that pertain to my book. Me and a friend have drawn pics but I am making a new picture gallery for other peoples works.

If you can draw and would like to contribute please let me know. I am looking for horror/creepy looking pics.

Feel free to check out the pics up already at http://jbienvenue.webs.com/ , Go to the Macabre Gallery!

Cool, like the creepy photos and the hanging head the best.

That is creepy!!!!

You guys have some lovely pictures!

This is a picture of me in Israel in December 2008.

Nice picture, Jenny.

You're kind of far away in that picture, Jenn. How long were you in Israel?

I went in December 2008 and was there for almost 3 weeks. It is not an easy trip but definitely worth it.

Great pic, jenn! I've always wanted to visit Israel...

Pumpkin & Caramel Pecan pies are done.

On the platter are Pilgrim Hat cookies.
I guess in this part of the country, they don't sell Chiclets. That's what the orange buckle is supposed to be. I just dyed a little white frosting, and "tried" to dab a bit on.

"wow" said the salivating zombie "just...wow"

Looks good, Lee. I had some leftover pie crust and made a chocolate pecan pie. It's my first pecan pie so I hope it turns out good.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I made this Caramel Pecan last year for the first time. Nice combination.

Happy Turkey day to you too...and to everyone else!

Can I have a pecan pie? That's my favorite!


Happy Thanksgiving everyone !!!

I love caramel so I'll have to try it some time.

Gobble Gobble, folks :)

Happy Tofurky Day, Bandit!

Before taking Wyatt to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop...



Once actually on the 'ol guy's lap, not to sure...

Imagine how very scary it must be when you're that small and Santa's big and red.

I always thought Santa was a bit creepy as a child.

I used to feel much trepidation when inching my way up to his lap.

But, you girls liked what he left under the tree....most of the time!

Yeah, he should just leave our gifts and skedaddle. That's what good Santas do. We don't want to come face-to-face with him.

Great picture, Lee. Kids make Christmas all worth it.


I don't ever remember sitting on Santa's lap. I do remember my uncle playing Santa and coming down the stairs. I really thought he was Santa till I went upstairs to the bathroom and on the sink was part of his beard. It sucked being me at that moment.

My dad did the same thing but I went with my mom to buy the costume. I guess I learned early that Santa wasn't real. I do remember once sneaking downstairs with my sister in high school to put out milk and cookies for "Santa". I think I just felt my mom looked extra stressed out that year and needed a treat. She still signs gifts from "Santa".

Oh, and I was also really afraid of the Tooth Fairy as a child.

Thanks funny, Rachel. I had to wrap my own presents. I never new what was inside I only saw the box.

Tooth Fairy isn't real?!?
