Happy Thanksgiving!

I am extremely grateful for my family and the opportunity to spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with them!

Life of Pie!

Pumpkin Pie!

The boys helped me make pumpkin pie from the one and only pumpkin we grew in our garden.  They loved the whole process.  We ate the pie on Thanksgiving Eve and enjoyed it thoroughly!

Neck Ties, Mustaches, and Turkeys!

What do all these things have in common? 

Last week Adam's sister and I started sewing these adorable neck-ties for little guys!

Adam grew a beard while he was off work for a few days and then while in the process of shaving he took a moment to pose for an interesting mustache photograph!

All summer long I collected the prettiest pine cones and stored them away for crafts.  We finally used some of them in these three silly pine cone turkey's.

Terrific Two!

Silas just turned Two!  This little boy amazes me every day! I think I can truly say he was potty trained before his second birthday.  I wasn't going to potty train him but he just seemed ready.  He was super interested so we just took the big leap and he is doing fantastic. 

He just kept blowing until he figured it out and he blew out his own candels.  After his big brothers birthday, I asked him what he wanted on his birthday cake and he said, "a moon!"  I asked him again and sure enough that is exactly what he wanted.  We visited grammy and papa and they were nice enough to make him exactly the cake he wanted.  He loved it!

This is the boys cousin who is crazy about Adam.  We visited them for Silas's birthday too!

Silas is the happiest boy I know.  He is so good natured, so understanding, and incredibly patient.  It is hard to imagine so much personality trapped in that little body!  He is an amazing boy!
