UPDATE!!

Hello everyone! I know I haven't blogged since Halloween but really there hasn't been much to update on. Oh and my camera was kindly broken by Lauren a few weeks ago so no new pictures until I get my new one :)! I just love my little munchkins! So the update is that Ryan and I have decided to go ahead and close on our new house and keep the townhouse on the market for now. Ryan would really like to rent the townhouse but as for me I would love to just get rid of this. But we are so excited to finally just get into our new house and have room for Randy, Rebecca, and their kids when they come for Christmas. A 3700 sq. ft house sounds much more appealing for 4 adults and 4 kids than our 1600 sq. ft townhouse.
Our Thanksgiving was really nice. We had dinner with my parents and of course it's always a good feast when my family gets together. After vegging from all the good food we headed up to Evanston to see Grandpa Fred, Ryan, Lacey, and Derrick. It's always fun to sit around and chit chat with Newcomers. There's never a dull moment when there's a Newcomer around. All in all it was a very good Thanksgiving. We are so "thankful" to have most of our family near us now and have the opportunity to see them as often as we'd like. Anyway we hope all of our loved ones are doing well and we can't wait for Christmas to see everyone again. Love to all! :)

Halloween Party

Last week our friends from Firstline had a Halloween party at their house. Here are some pictures from that night. Ryan and I were Salt & Pepper, not too original but we weren't planning on attending so that was our last minute idea. Sorry no pictures to prove how lame of a costume it was!
