We are thankful...

Its hard to believe it is the end of November and we are celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas is right around the corner. We have had a great year, but man has it gone by fast! Here it is Thanksgiving time and we need to stop and say what we are most thankful for. Each of the kiddos made a turkey with what they were thankful for, Samamtha started with her family and ended with her best friend Leah. It was so sweet to hear her celebrate her friendship with Leah because she adores her so much. They are two peas in a pod when they are together and I hope it is a friendship that goes on forever. Jack was also thankful for his family and he made sure to celebrate his love for baseball. Since the day he could walk we think he loved the game of baseball. He is looking forward to spring season and can't wait to start practicing with his teammates. We as well are thankful for our family and friends who make this fast moving life a lot of fun to live! Enjoy one another and show those you love your heart!

Gotta love Halloween!

There is nothing better than a warm fall day of 70 degree weather and the kids getting ready for Halloween. This year Samantha chose to be Goldilocks because it is her favorite story right now. Jack on the other hand wanted something cool and chose to be Maverick from Top Gun. Jack's nickname on his football team, other than Sloan, is Maverick so it was very fitting. Every year Chris and I also attend a neighborhood costume party just for adults and this year we tried to think outside the box and go with something different....okay it was just for fun and it got lots of laughs and everyone knew who we were right away :0) We love this time of year and this year did not disappoint. We loved carving pumpkins and the kids are getting pretty good at it. They did 95% of the carving themselves. They enjoyed trick or treating with their friends in the neighborhood and got lots of candy. The air is definitely getting cooler and before we know it Thanksgiving will be here.
