Oh my word, take a look at Gwen's absolutely adorable Halloween costume:

Princess Leia! (and does that make Debi Padmé?)

That big (relatively speaking!) baby in the third pic is Gwen's cousin Dorothy Frances.

Here's Greg torturing the kitties--check out Spooky's piggies! And he wonders why they pee on his stuff...

Two of my favorite girls: Debi and Deanna
Christmas Day, 2001

This is one of my favorite pictures of Katie, and it happens to have one of my other favorite people in it too!

Who are these people?

Debi--one of the famous Peterson girls--and I met in high school when I was friends with her sister Deanna. Our lockers were close to each other so even though I was a big junior and she was a baby freshman, we couldn't avoid each other, especially with all the time I spent at the Peterson house. Nowadays Debi is one of my favorite visitors--when she comes out to Portland we spend lots of time shopping and eating wonderful food. What more could one want in a friend than that?

Debi and her husband Greg live in Meridian, Idaho (near Boise).

My favorite picture of Debi and Deanna:

I see London, I see France!
