Thanksgiving...

I have so much to be thankful for this year! My family is at the top of my list-I am so blessed--God has been so good to my family this year- I have an amazing family and of course I feel the need to share pics!

For this child I prayed

I was just thinking about this scripture and how much I love it---For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me 1 Sam. 1:27. So this got me thinking about birth annoucements for Brother Bear, we did one for Baby bear when she was about a month old, well this time around things were so sudden and we have been busy, but, we are about to finalize his adoption so I thought about sending out an announcement - do you think it is silly since he is already 6 months old. I already feel like we have skipped so much on the second kid - gosh I hate not to do this too- hmmmm any ideas- or any personal experiences?

Half Birthday

Today is Brother Bears half birthday! I can't believe he is 6 months old!

November is here!

So Halloween is over - think we are still on a Halloween High over here (could be all the sugar)! It has been fun but I am ready for some chill time at home! Just wanted to share some pics of my cute little cubs!

Halloween

okay so has Halloween (fall) always been this busy or am I just getting old? Seems like when I was little Halloween was just one night - now we have 10 different things to go to - I feel like the kids need more than one costume, gotta go to the pumpkin patch - can't miss the school party, the fall festival at church or the trunk or treat with the play group we have to go to the zoo boo, and then the gymnastics party and the family functions, all ending with the grand finale- Halloween night! oh and ya gotta go to the fair (which isn't near as fun as an adult). Maybe I am getting old or having 2 little bears instead of one this year could be it- but then again- I really do not remember it being so busy- gosh it makes me want to eat a lot of candy and take a nap!

October Ramblings

I can not believe it is the end of October! Brother Bear is 5 months old today! Not sure how that happened so fast! Baby Bear is just as amazing as ever - she is soooo smart I think she will academically pass me and papa bear very soon - if not already! Halloween is just around the corner and we have lots planned, I can not wait to post pics - Kassidy is going to be a cat and a princess and brother bear, not sure I really wanted him to be a baby sumo wrestler because he sure has the body for it but having trouble finding a baby black wig - maybe we could just do some dark makeup on his head- hmmm? well just wanted to post seems like it has been forever! Happy Fall to everyone!!!!
