Fall is here

We enjoyed such beautiful colors this Fall! Here's a quick snap of the maple in our front yard. Not a lot to share, we're just staying busy with life. I'm involved with our choir production at church & we're busy rehearsing for the performances...so you can hear Christmas music in the house and in the car. John is staying busy at BG and has several freelance projects he's working on as well. Elise has been especially fussy this past week, and a bad eater. We're just trying to keep her happy & fed, at least a few bites here and there. We're gearing up for Thanksgiving & excited to have John's parents join us the weekend before & after Thanksgiving for a few days.
Hope you have a great week!

Anniversary Wishes!

Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary, Paul & Jodi! (Affectionately known as PB&J)

A Day in the Life of Claire Elise



I was just having fun with John's camera yesterday & took a few close ups to share.
I love this look - such wonder....
We have a little gecko that has decided to take up residence in a lantern outside our front door. Kinda silly, but we keep checking to see if he is still there & most days he does hang around. I'm sure once the cooler winter comes along he'll go find a warmer spot? Elise likes to peer through the front window to check in on him every once in awhile...so I thought I'd post a snapshot.
We are looking forward to warm weather today & will likely get outside to enjoy it. Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday, Curt!

It was a balmy November day (upper 70's) in Charlotte for Curt's birthday. He came over this evening for a little celebration with the family here in town. We had salmon on the grill with Jasmine rice & peas, and of course chocolate on chocolate birthday cake. He turns 26 today, and I told him that I moved to Charlotte when I was 26....where has all the time gone by? We're grateful to have him here. I'll also post a quick clip of our celebration. Happy Birthday, Curt!

Trick or Treat

On Friday we had a beautiful Fall day here in Charlotte & Elise loved to play outside that afternoon. The most exciting thing was pushing & carrying around these little pumpkins!
Our little Pumpkin Pusher!
Then, it was time to get dressed up & visit a few neighbors to go Trick or Treating for a little candy.
Kaylie (22 months) & Elise (16 months) getting ready with their buckets.
Our first stop next door. Thanks Ricardo!
After a few visits to the doors, Elise got the hang of this...."Where to next?"

Here's a little snippet from our day last Friday.
