New Jersey visit #3

The kids were able to wear their Halloween costumes one more time as they went to Naomi's Wizard of Oz birthday party! Too cute!

They played "pin the heart on the tin man" - Ha! :)













The two Dorothy's playing with Naomi's new toys!


Singing Happy Birthday to the birthday girl! We had a great time!

Caroline was very intrigued by Lance! It was so cute! He really enjoyed staring at her as well.

New Jersey visit #1

We went back to New Jersey a couple weeks ago to visit our friends and had a wonderful time! We stayed with the Shields' family and enjoyed every second of the trip! When we arrived, all of our friends were there to greet us - what a wonderful surprise!! :) Grace jumped right in with the kids as if nothing had changed. It was great! We got to see Gavin play his last football game - go #5!! And everyone got to meet Lance for the first time. It was crazy and we were very tired when it ended, but it was worth every minute of it. We're so blessed to have such wonderful friends. Caroline and Lance slept through Gavin's entire game!

Go Shields!!!!

Trick-or-Treating #1

Grace had fun trick-or-treating with Lance, Tatum, and Wade. We went to Jackson and Wellston both and also trunk or treat at one of the churches in town. So much fun! She LOVED being Dorothy.

Pumpkin Carving

Grace helped Daddy carve a pumpkin for Halloween. She wasn't too keen on digging out the seeds, though. She thought it was "icky". Such a girly girl!!

She liked the end result, though. Great job, Daddy!




My most favorite pumpkin that I painted for our family! Yes, I'm very proud of this one! I think I've found a new hidden talent - or fun "project" anyway that I enjoy! You'd think I would've gotten enough of it by now! Don't worry - no more until next year!

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz...!

Dorothy and Toto (aka: Grace and Lance) enjoyed many Halloween parties and lots of trick-or-treating this year! The Wicked Witch of the West ("I'll get you my pretty and your little dog, too!") and the Scarecrow also joined the two in their festivities. Grace had many opportunities to wear her outfit (which she was very excited about) and truly enjoyed herself. We definitely made the most of the holiday this year! :)
