Ella the Elf has returned!

Ella is really a hit with Payton this year!  She searches for her each day and looks forward to the silly things Ella does.  It is a joy to watch Payton and Kale experience Christmas time.  Through the eyes of a child.....it is fun to watch!

Meeting Piper

 

 

Piper is already a month old!!  Payton met her at 2 weeks old and she fell in love immediately!  Piper is the daughter of our very dear friends, Zach and Brenda.  She's a beautiful blessing that we can't wait to witness growing up.  Congratulations Boswells! :)

Oh Christmas Tree!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to the Fulk Tree Farm we picked out the perfect Christmas tree again!  :)  It was a beautiful day (almost HOT) and the kids enjoyed running in the open fields! :)  I love Christmas time!

Tis the season!

Sharing our holiday card (so I can selfishly get $10 off my next Shutterfly purchase)! Cheers! Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Thankfuls

My two turkeys handprints.  The diva wanted to make sure she only had pink and purple feathers on her turkey!



 

One old cookie sheet, chalkboard paint, burlap and one pre-made flower = Thanksgiving/home decor!  I love chalkboard paint - I would paint everything with chalkboard paint if I could!

 

Payton's list of "Thankfuls".  She is doing such a great job writing and wanting to learn to write.  I have seen such progress in her learning and willingness to learn this year - very exciting to witness as her parent (and as a teacher)!

 

Many things to be thankful for this year, and every year!

October - this and that

 Yes, he broke his arm.  Yes, he looks miserable.  No, it has not slowed him down!  Not. One. Bit!  He is still our busy little boy, but now, with a cast!  He will have it on for three weeks (almost one week under our belt).  He's a trooper and I'm sure this isn't the last ER visit we will make with this kid!

Here are the two super heoes on Halloween!  They had a great time and were worn out (along with their parents) by the end of the night! 

They are growing up so fast.  I try to keep a journal of our weekly, if not daily happenings.  I will look at my recent entries and try to post more about these two little monsters later.  Happy Election Day!

94th in Heaven

 

 

Today would have been Grandpa Marvin's 94th birthday.  Although we know he is at peace in Heaven, he is missed every day here on Earth.  I also know that the many memories I have of him and Grandma will last forever in my heart.  Cheers to you, Grandpa!  Happy Birthday!  We love you!
