City Lights

Every year our town puts on a Christmas parade, fireworks, free hot chocolate & pizza, & little kid trains rides. It was a bit chilly, but we bundled up & had a fun time. I feel so lucky to have a daughter old enough to enjoy the holidays!
Watching from Daddy's shoulders. This morning Kaelah was giving her teddy bear a ride on her shoulders so she could see too. I thought it was so cute b/c this was an entire week ago now.Shannon, Danny, & I waiting for Kaelah & Dan to get back from the train ride. Can I just say I love the fact Shannon moved here?!? What a blessing she is in our lives!
We weren't sure how Kaelah would handle being in the train by herself, so Dan was smart enough to put her in the far back & then walked behind it the whole half a mile. She liked the idea, but felt a bit crowded by the boy next to her (as you can see here). Dan said eventually when Kaelah couldn't take it anymore she shoved him out of her bubble. My response? "Good for you, Kaelah!" I thought it was nice to know she can stand up to someone 3 times her age when necessary. I may have been a little too proud when Dan told me b/c another dad heard my reply & said to his wife, "Can you believe that lady?" Well, I'm assuming he was talking about me, but there were a ton of people there....
Me & my love in front of a Christmas tree on our way back to the car. I'm more appreciative of Christmas trees this year b/c we decided not to put one up. With us going out of town every year it just didn't seem worth it b/c Kaelah was feeling sick the first week of December anyway. We surely do feel festive at our house with all the other decorations inside & out, though! And Dan bought a huge poinsettia that livens up the living room too.
Thanks for taking a picture of us, Shannon!

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
