Thanksgiving with Cousin Mary

We got to see my sister's family for the first time since they moved to KS earlier this summer. The three grandkids got to play together for the first time.

The Happiest Place In The World

It's not Disney. It's Krispy Kreme (with the 'Hot-n-Ready' light on).

Orange Sunday

When Christina serves in the children's area, she wears her orange. Noah joined in with her today.

Happy Sunday!

Noah was a happy kid this morning.

Weekend Fun

This past Saturday we spent the day at my grandparents' home. Carissa loved exploring their garden and found a frog friend.

Manicure Friday

The girls got their nails done today. It was Carissa's first time. She had a blast.

St. Louis Zoo

We had a ultrasound in St. Louis on Wednesday and stopped by the zoo for a few hours. Carissa's favorites of the day were the penguins and giraffes.

Waiting for Stars

We're hanging out on the driveway tonight waiting for the stars to come out.

The Snowman

Carissa helped me build a snowman this morning.

It Really Is January

I wish we had snow, but in it's absence, I'm loving the warmer weather.

Merry Christmas

We have some great weather today to be playing outside.

Weekend with Uncle Grant

Spent some time with Uncle Grant this weekend while he was visiting from CA. It was fun to hangout and Carissa loved hugging on him.

First Lightening Bug

Carissa caught her first lightening bug all on her own (actually two!). She was very proud.

The Young Photographer

Carissa got ahold of my phone and took some photos at dinner.

Sitting with Papa

Walking to the Park

We've been taking some massive walks from our house. Tonight we walked over to campus an them down to Schumann park so Carissa could play.

Our Little Helper

I was moving the stuff back onto the deck this evening after re-staining it this weekend and Carissa wanted to help. She acted like the pot weighed 50lbs with huffing and grunts.

Walking the Dog

It's been too long since I've last posted here. We've enjoyed the warming weather but it's also been rather wet.

St. Pat's Parade

We've had a fun day. Before the parade, we handed out about 950 hotdogs for free with Vineyard. Afterward, we had brunch courtesy of ZTA.

Umbrellas

Carissa has fallen in love with umbrellas lately. She saw one yesterday while we were in St. Louis and had to have it.
