Happy Thanksgiving!

In the midst of giving thanks today, I am also pondering the following question: Where has time gone??? I mean, it was just Halloween! And beyond that: Ian was just born last week, right? Not to mention Zach who is very much a 2-year-old right now! And didn't we just get married? It's crazy to think how much has happened and changed in our lives over the past seven years! We have so much to be grateful for, so it's important to have days like today where we can really focus on how much we have been blessed with.

Below are some pics from our fall trip to Atlanta a couple weekends ago. We celebrated Cari's birthday, had some fall fun at a beautiful park, and saw the Wiggles Live show (awesome 7th row seats--our early Christmas present from Cari & Dan!) As you can see, we had a lot of fun!



Fun on the slides!


Giggly Zach!


The happy family



Zachy and Daddy enjoy nature


The boys model their "My Aunt Rocks" shirts.
(Their 'cousin' Darren also had a "My Uncle Rocks" shirt!)


This was an "I want the Wiggles" tantrum while we waited for the show to start
There they are!

That's better!
Fun with Jeff Wiggle, Wags the Dog, Anthony Wiggle, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, and Sam Wiggle

Ian was lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of the Wiggles!

Halloween Fun!


We had a super-fun Halloween this year. We celebrated lots of firsts: Ian's very first Halloween, Zach's first time truly understanding Halloween, and the first time in 12 years that Brian and I have both donned costumes. We were able to go to two Halloween parties--one for the whole family at Amanda & Darrell's, and another just for the grown-ups at Lisa & Jason's. I'm sad to say this was this first time since April that Brian and I have gotten out together without the kids, and we had a blast!
See below for some pictures from our fun week!

Ian's our very own bouncy kangaroo!

So sweet!
