He knows if you've been bad or good...

Someone's excited for Santa...

She asked him specifically for "5 golden ice skates"


Jacob took her to see the ice skaters downtown, they got hot chocolate too. She was in heaven...

Mm I Feel Good...

Harvesting

We did some fun things with fruits of the fall this year...

We picked apples at Pa-paw's house and made lots and lots of applesauce.


We bought a bushel of peaches, learned how to can them, made peach jam, and this delicious lime spiked peach cheesecake pie.




And, we went late Raspberry picking with our friends. The girls ate, and ate, and ate the raspberries while we were picking. Then we had a picnic by a pretty little pond. It was a glorious day, ended with a delicious Amish creamstick with maple frosting. If you ever come visit us you mush try a creamstick. It will change your life! We love fall. Don't you?

Vacation Part Two

We got to stay in Utah for almost 4 whole weeks this summer. Luci pretty much took up residence at the grandparents houses. She is always telling people, "We don't live in Utah anymore, now we live in Cincinnati again." Boy oh boy did she get spoiled. And so did we. Babysitters whenever we wanted, delicious Magleby's food, and being close to family. I know I speak for all of us when I say it was the best. Thanks fam.

Call for Music

What songs really get you going? Make you bump and smile and need to break out and dance? I need some suggestions here folks. Would you mind sharing some of your faves?

New Do...

Last week we got crazy and hitched a ride with a hot guy to Indiana... He was going to a graduate fair so we hopped in the car last minute. We were excited to spend some extra time with said hot guy, see some cool waterfalls and have a picnic. It was awesome, except for the unfortunate realization that the waterfalls were all dried up. On the way back to the car Luci said very matter of factly, "We had fun mommy. We had fun on our hike." Elijah hardly even made a peep in the backpack. He's so chill. Anyway, notice the long flowing locks...

This is me, my new Do, and my goose, making faces for you. Something my good friends Amy, and Andrea taught me how to do. Thanks to them I can never look in a mirror and not twist my face in all possible ways. Here's to show I am doing my duty to pass it down to my innocent children.

Vacation Part One

Our little family vacation earlier this summer. It was simple, but it was a blast!We stayed in the Marriott where Luci slept in her own queen sized bed surrounded by pillows. We ate out. We went hiking. We went swimming. We were together. It was great.
