I was in the office on the computer when I heard Josie's hurt cry. Turns out, she pulled a toy down on her eye. I guess it could be worse, but still qualifies as a shiner :) I have already decided this child is gonna be my accident prone child. She has no fear and is into EVERYTHING. She is the most precious 1 year old on earth though.
We have had so much fun having my nephews for a few days. The kids think it is so neat having them here at night when they go to bed and in the morning when they get up. Josie and Gideon have became fast friends. She calls him "titty ta" (not sure why) but it is the same name she uses for our cat, Tammy. He treats her like a little sister. "No Josie, no Josie!" I guess he is practicing for his new baby brother.
I was resting on Thursday afternoon, when I was awakened by Annie's frantic voice that Deacon had eaten something blue and he was throwing up "blue stuff". I was of course thrown into panic mode as i ran to the basement to find out what he had eaten. Come to find out it was Easter Egg Dye he thought was candy (dude, we have a whole bag of candy from Halloween). So, I was relieved to find out it wasn't toxic, but he will be blue for a while :)
Aven came into the world November 10 which just happens to be my birthday. He is by far the best birthday gift I have ever gotten :) He has been diagnosed with Down Syndrome, but we believe God crafted him exactly the way he wanted him to be. We love you Aven!
Nathan completed his first 5k and I completed my first mini marathon (15K or 9.3 miles). Nathan had a great time of 29 minutes and I did rather well with a time of 1 hour 19 minutes. it was quite a brisk run through Mason, but I am so glad I had Nathan there cheering me on the whole time.
Ah! Finally finished. Went home, took a bath and a nap :)
The kids had a great time on Halloween night, going trick or treating!
I was privileged to have Batgirl, Superman and the cutest little elephant you ever did see with me for a night of fun.
Josie had a great time just riding in the wagon and eating snacks. My little girl is quite the eater (let me tell ya).
Josie and her best buddy Lincoln were too cute for the zoo.
Annie and her beau
Spiderman meets Superman - good thing they're friends
All 6 munchkins in one place - this is rare!
Poor Nathan! I always have the bright idea to do pumpkin carving and he always gets to do the work :)
But he is so good at it!
Josie doing her part to help!
