the seems to be a daily occurance for the lad 

dad and daughter. great picture.  

My Mom and Dad came up at the end of December for a week, they brought Grace and Andrew with. A fun trip. Except for that my mom had a horrible cold. 

 

Andrew dreaded the hike..but I think he recovered well. 

and they made it without injury 

Christmas is over and thank goodness...check out hte charlie brown tree after the decorations came down! yikes! 

The evening of the village lighting. We were standing together outside near the fire pit. Enjoying carroling and laughs with friends. 

Josh and Dan decided they would try out sledding ...without the sleds. 

Out of control in the hat shop. Roger, Josh, Sarah and Dan had eveyone in the shop hysterical! 

 

 

Our close friends, the Hurley's! 

Good Job, Sophia!  

 

WE'RE BACK!

OK, so we are not entirely back. We will be posting some pictures this weekend. Also writing about all of the things that have been going on. It could be a lengthy post but so much has happened since OCTOBER! sorry all!

Conner, Trisha and Rebecca came up for fall break again this year! We had a really great time! (and yes, I cried when they left! I can't help it, I am not a robot woman!) We always have such a good time when friends and family come up! I miss seeing these guys and Rachel and Josh as often as we did back home! We always seem to laugh so much when we are all together! Love you guys!  

Sophia loves...I mean LOVES Conner. She was attached to him the second he arrived. And it actually began before he got here. The entire day was Conner...Conner...Conner...She was killing us this entire weekend. The first night she would settle for nothing less than sharing her room with conner and by the last night she actually had her bed pushed up next to his! I recall at one moment this weekend she was also trying to hand feed him some food! We really need to work on her skills! She has yet to learn how to make the boy chase the girl. (she needs to watch a little closer at how Mad handles Galvin)

Sophia found her "Great Pumpkin" 

Spencer was having a tough time focusing on finding a pumpkin. Everytime I looked over at him he was crouched down picking up these huge dirt clods and then throwing them up..I actually caught an action shot with him. He is catching a mouth full of dust after the clod broke mid air and then flew into his face!
