Happy Thanksgiving!


I loved this picture of Hannah!  They made Native American t-shirts, turkey headbands, necklaces and place mats for Thanksgiving at her school.  On her place mat, she had drawn a picture of our family as what she was most thankful for.  I love my precious girl!  I am so thankful to the Lord for the gift of children.  We wish everyone a wonderful week of giving thanks to our God who has given us more than we could even ask for!

Happy Birthday, Harry!





Harry celebrated his third birthday this past weekend.  He had a healthy diet on Saturday of doughnuts, pizza, cake and ice cream.  He had a "super hero" themed birthday, and is now the proud owner of a Spiderman, Batman, and Superman.  Aww, my little man is growing up!  No more baby toys.  Anyhow, we had a fun weekend with our little guy.  We were blessed to have Nana and Pampa in town for the weekend to help us celebrate as well.  Happy Birthday, Harry!

We're off to see the Wizard...




We had a great time trick-or-treating as the Wizard of Oz foursome!  Hannah was Dorothy, Harris the Tin Man, JJ the Scarecrow, and Liam was our cowardly Lion.  They were SO cute!  The reaction from the neighbors was hilarious as well as the other trick or treaters.  Everyone stopped to comment on how cute they were or to sing the chorus from the Wizard of Oz to us.  The kids were a little confused by some of the questions they were asked, as they have never actually seen the movie.  They had a wonderful time.  Jessica and I had such a good time putting together their outfits (JJ even had a crow on his shoulder!), but we both realized that this was probably the last time we can get away with telling them what they are going to be for Halloween.  Next year the boys will probably both be superheroes.  Oh well!  We will at least have fun pictures from this year.  We felt very honored that our friend Valerie and her son, Liam, could join us for his first Halloween.  He made a precious little lion.  I think Harris summed up all of our feelings as he went to bed.  "Can we go trick or treating again?"  Can't wait until next year!
