hoping yours was merry and bright

The BEST part about this Christmas was having a full house.  The WORST part about this Christmas was when everybody left.

Thankful

We have much, much, much for which we are thankful!  Right now we are especially grateful we were able to spend Thanksgiving in Austin with Rob and Jenifer and Grandmother Christensen.  Lots of good eats, playing, and rest.

out and about in the Fall

Enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather at the park.

Wanting to get in on the action, too.

Preschool Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

We had SO much FUN!

Seguine's Halloween Party

Another BEAUTIFUL night and SO MUCH FUN!

Pumpkin Festival

Climbing up...

...sliding down.

We've been having a lot of fun enjoying the beautiful, non-rainy days - we just love this time of year in the East! Brian even took a couple of days off work so we could enjoy some time as a family and we've taken advantage of every minute. Happy Fall!

the one with some grandmas and grandpas

Just before we left for the airport in Colorado, we were able to meet up with Brian's maternal grandparents for a quick lunch. This was their first time meeting Zoey, so we thought that was pretty special.

In Utah Zoey enjoyed "helping" grandpa on the computer.

She also enjoyed "helping" grandma in the kitchen.

We enjoyed talking with Brent and Dianne and, in fact, stayed up way too late one night doing so. We miss having them close and miss them listening to all our drama. I am sure they totally miss that, too.
