Sledding!

We had a great week in Lake Placid last month, and we all loved being in the snow again!! Dad + Pop took us sledding on a hill at a golf course. Tip: backwards is the best way to sled down. ;)

New Puppy Kringle!

Merry Christmas!!!

If you ask the Green kids what was their favorite Christmas present this year, they will all tell you that the new puppy Kringle is their favorite. 

This picture was taken at 9 a.m. on Christmas morning after the puppy was delivered to our house. 

We named her Kringle after the Danish pastry that we eat for breakfast every Christmas morning. 

She's extremely active but she's still a baby (13 weeks) so she sleeps a lot. Here she is taking a nap with Abel. 

We think that Kringle is a Corgi/lab mix, but we're not sure. She was part of a litter of 9 puppies that was going to be put down, but the entire litter was rescued. 

She likes eating the bottom of the Christmas tree. 

Everyone adores her... :D 

Kringle has already started Kindergarten and is learning to sit. Alexander is her Junior Trainer. 

We love Kringle!

Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year! 

Thanksgiving Family Photo 2008

The Green family and Mom's 3 sisters and their families all got together to celebrate Thanksgiving together this year. 

The Greens are all in green. :) 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Rally w/ Sarah Palin!

Yesterday the Greens went to Leesburg, VA to see Sarah Palin at the rally! 

It was very exciting to see her and hear her speaking. 


We got 12 signs at the rally and now have 13 signs in our front yard. 

McCain/Palin 08!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Our time at camp...

We had some tragic accidents happen while we were at camp on Lake Champlain last month. 

Alexander fell off of a cliff. 

Elizabeth was squashed by a rock. 

Our friend Jacob gallantly tried to pull her out but it didn't work. 

;)

Summer swim

All 12 Green kids did the summer swim team this year and they all did very well! Saturday was the swim championships! 

Timothy cut 15 seconds off of his 100 IM in an earlier meet, and swam it very well in the championships. 

Here is our whole team- the Stonebrook Stingrays!  Our team was the proud winner of the championships. 

Hannah, Susannah and our friend Will stayed cool under the lifeguard chair and watched the races. 

Field trip to DC

We love living so close to Washington, DC! 

On our last trip to DC, Dad got us tickets to go up into the Washington Monument-what an amazing view! 

Sign-waving for our candidate!

Frank Wolf for Congress! 

The Green family spent their Sunday morning (before church) a few weeks ago supporting a candidate for Congress whom we think is a great man! 

We stood on a corner with our signs and waved and smiled at everyone who drove past. 

It was a fun learning experience and valuable to the children to recognise the importance of being involved with politics.
