Happy Thanksgiving

We are getting ready to hit the road for grandma's house in a few short hours, so I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. For those we are unable to be with this year, we will miss you deeply. We pray everyone has a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving Day!

"I will give thanks to the LORD because of his
righteousness and will sing praise to the name of
the LORD Most High."
-Psalm 7:17

The Fun of Fall

It's been a little crazy...selling our house, moving, dealing with sickness, and juggling "regular" life in the process...but we've managed to also squeeze in some great family fun this Fall, and I wanted to share some of it with you.

We didn't get to sent everyone Halloween greetings,
but our little bride and Tigger had a great time scavenging for candy!

Lots of opportunities for candy at Daddy's work!

Little Tigger had so much fun going cube to cube in search of loot.

Grandpa and his princess bride.

It was a long day...

...for everyone

Mommy and the kiddos at our church's October 31st party (yes, I'm dressed like a pirate).

The great weather prompted a trip to one of our favorite getaway places...Silver Dollar City.

Daddy and Little Man ride the caterpillars.

Little Miss's favorite ride...the flying elephants.

Little Miss writes a letter to Santa at his workshop.
(It was a little hard to get into the Christmas spirit when it was 84 degrees outside!)

I guess Christmas lights bring out the best in all of us. :)

The Last Hoorah of Summer

It seems a bit ridiculous to post highlights from our "summer" vacation the week before Thanksgiving. However, I did promise pictures from our trip and I intend to keep that promise (even if it is two months later!).

So, here is a BRIEF photo highlight of our trip to Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. (I highly recommend a visit there for any history buff...it's entirely fascinating!)

Happy Birthday, Little Man (yes, another party!)...and Cousin ZoBug!

And Happy Birthday, PaPa...the big 6-0!

Little Miss helps grind cornmeal at the historic Jamestown Settlement.

The boys having a good wrestle.

We had a great time with Nanee & PaPa, Aunt Carmen and the cousins, and Aunt Mimi. It was a long trip for us, but worth every moment to share these memories with our family. There's so much more we could share and so many more pictures to show off, but we'll leave more for another time... :)
