Gobble Gobble & Happy Thanksgiving!

November was a busy month but a good one. We got to celebrate Thanksgiving here in Texas this year. It was smaller than usual but very nice to spend time with extended family for sure!

Aiden and Alina are doing great, they love to play together now...for the most part, there is the occasional fight over a toy or book or whatever may be the hot item for the moment. We have been blessed with two wonderful children that we truly love and adore!!!

Happy Halloween

October was a fun month, the kids got to go to a Carnival at Aunt Sissy's School, Aiden also had his Fall Festival at Preschool and on Halloween they got to Trick or Treat with their Texas cousins. I have to say that the boys were a little scared of all the costumes but Alina loved it!

Alina's first birthday!!!!

September brought us our little girl's first birthday, we can't believe how fast this past year flew by! Alina had a Ladybug birthday party with her family and friends. She seemed to enjoy the party for the most part...when it came to digging into her cake she got scared of what we think was the birthday candle and started screaming, refusing to eat the cake. After several minutes of holding her and trying to calm her down I got her to eat some of her cake but she would only eat it if I was feeding it to her. There was no messing birthday girl this time, she was NOT having it! Thank you to everyone for celebrating our baby girl's birthday with us and for all of the wonderful thoughts and gifts!

Making memories...

August started out exciting with another trip planned up north to visit the Brown side of the family. Two days before we were scheduled to leave we got a very sad phone call telling us that Danny's Mammy had passed. We expected that trip to be our last visit with her, but never thought she would go before we got there. Needless to say, the start of our trip was heartbreaking.

Keith and Heather (brother & sis-in-law) had a great idea to visit Mammy and Granddad's cottage in Port Hope, MI on Lake Huron where we got to talk about fun times with Mammy and just had a blast and made new memories! Granddad even came up and joined us for a couple of days, I think it was a much needed visit for us all. We look forward to many more trips up to the cottage in the future.
