a video or two...

We've been hanging out enjoying some quiet time (well, relatively so with toddler + newborn!) before the house fills up for Thanksgiving. This past weekend it snowed & accumulated enough to stick for the first time this season. Michael & Cassidy played outside for a little while; Jackie & Kalea stayed inside where it was warm & cozy.

We're slowly preparing to have 12 people stay in our little house for a long Thanksgiving weekend - getting shopping lists together for the big day, checking the air mattress for leaks...we even purchased a 2nd fridge! Jackie is going shopping later this week, so put in any requests now! Cassidy is busy this week making the table decorations. Construction paper + empty toilet paper rolls + glue + feathers = happy, messy toddler! Any guesses on what the end product will be?

As promised, Nina sent us a link to our online gallery. We love how they turned out & hope you do too. Click here to see!

Two Mondays ago we visited our friend Nina to have pictures taken of Cassidy & Kalea. She emailed us a few teasers today & hopes to have the rest up on an online gallery later this week. Take a look...

Happy Anniversary!

It's hard to believe that it's been 4 years since Michael & I said, "I do" back in Georgia. The time has gone quickly...maybe because we've managed to keep pretty busy during that time! A move across the country & two beautiful daughters later, we're still pretty crazy...about each other, that is!

Happy 2nd Birthday Cassidy!

Can you believe that our little girl is 2 already!?! We had a great time on Sunday celebrating with some friends & special guest Aunt Jenny who is visiting during one of her 6 week rotations for P.A. school. Yesterday, for her actual birthday, we had fun with a few new toys (puzzles & play food are a big hit these days!), played with Jenny outside & helped make some yummy muffins as well as homemade birthday pizza. Mmmmmm!
