Children are a gift from Him...a reward!

Feeling very thankful for every moment we spend together.

Cool nights to look for bats and frogs.

Playing school.

Ballerina Friends.

Hot cocoa after swimming.

They are all doing so well with swimming lessons.

Emerson is in Baby Fins 2 and doing great!

Christian recently promoted to Julianna's class - Yellow Fins.

The tail end of potty training. 

 (I think I'm supposed to be happy here but that means my baby is growing up despite all I do to slow it down.)

Speaking of growing up...

Fall weather is finally here!  We went out today to document the changing of the season...

and back to turn it into art.

Feeling blessed to get to experience the gift of parenthood.

Hardest, most fulfilling, most exhausting job EVER!  We are thankful for every minute of it.  

Happy Halloween!

We carved our first pumpkin Thursday and it was with Grammy!  She flew in Wednesday night to surprise us.

Then we went trick-or-treating Friday.  Our first time going up to knock on doors!  This may be the last year that I get to pick the costumes and help them all match!  We went to Build-a-Bear first to pick out some buddies and their costumes.

"Tex"

"Cocoa Bear"

"Ju-Ju Bunny"

We've loved looking at all the inflatables this month

What to do when no one is home?  Look at the moths.

Now, to hide most all of the candy!

Family Photo Shoot

I'm so happy I work with so many talented, creative people and that they are not just teachers.   

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE every photo!  

It was such a fun process but I don't know how she got these shots.  They're amazing!

Thank you Kristin Houston Photography!
