We're back!!!...Finally!

We had an extra long, fun Thanksgiving vacation at the in-laws in North Carolina! All my hubby's family was able to come (except my brother-in-laws wife, Cynthia, whom I missed desperately!!). It was neat to have everyone together again because we are now spread out over 4 states!
Pictures will follow - just wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive!! ;)

Lily Kae

Yep - we finally decided to name our baby Lily Kae! --despite Avery taking the poll by storm! I have been stressing out and mulling over this decision ever since we found out we were having a girl. (yes, I know that it's only been 4 weeks!) It feels great to have finally made a decision!!

trick or treat

My kids had a blast trick or treating last week! By the end Colby could barely hold his bag - it was so full! However, he wouldn't dare let Bob or I hold it for him because he was 'STRONG' - and then he'd lift his bag up really high to show us how strong he was. Now I just have to figure out what to do with all this candy we still have looming around our house!
