Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, my mom headed north to visit Emily and my dad headed south to visit us. The boys had a blast (literally). They blasted bad guys morning, noon and night. I am pretty sure our house is going to be bad guy free for at least 2 minutes. LOL!

Connie cooked a fabulous feast and Jon and Shannon hosted (and fried one of the birds). We always potluck style the sides and other food so thank yous also go out to Jess/Jerry, Pete/Amy, Jon/Shannon for the other yummies. I can say I did not over eat (slowly learning that lesson) but I did make sure I got a taste of everything.


The kids played all afternoon and other than a few bumps and bruises, they all had fun. It's nice they are getting to the age where they can play without us hovering. It's mainly keeping an eye on Mason and Jace. Caleb is so good at shadowing the other kids, he's pretty harmless.

I think it has become tradition to reminisce of Thanksgivings passed with our previous Motorola/south Florida family. Many friends have come and gone but we always tell a tale or two about you. (Jody/Kyle, Amy/Kevin, Matt/Kristy, Jen/Stacy, Brian/Crystal-hopefully I didn't miss anyone!) We miss you!

Halloween Pics

I figured it's better to post something a little late than never. This year we invited the neighbors to trick or treat with us and the Malecha's. We had 11 little ghouls in our party between newborn age and 6 years old. We were successful (no casualties, no lost kids, lots of candy).
