Some updates...

Gosh, so much has happened since the last time I posted in May- and I do apologize for the mega delay between posts. 

Without any special orders,  here's a brief run down of what's been going on.

  • Blake started and finished his first season in tackle football- he did really well!  Josh and I were very proud of him.
  • Sydney started Run Club and Art Club and did well in both of those as well- she's still doing Art Club once a week and will have a painting out in the Art in the Park sometime in the Spring.
  • Mason's a YEAR OLD!!  YAY!  He started walking on Halloween night when we got home from trick or treating in Fruitport.  We had a lot of fun trick or treating and the kids got a TON of candy!  LOTS and LOTS of delicious goodness!
  • My little sister McKenzie came to live with us in August and has been with us since.  It's been a bit of an adjustment for all of us, but I think we're all starting to get used to each other and she's been doing really well.  She tried out for a got a small part in the most recent drama club production, Romeo & Juliet.  We were very proud of her that she stuck with it and did so well.  It was definitely a learning experience for her.

Now, Christmas is almost here.  Yep, that's right- Thanksgiving is already passed and we're moving on.  I am almost finished with shopping, but have to wrap yet... argh.  I like wrapping, but only in small quantities.  I have a TON of wrapping ahead of me.

Oh, wait, I forgot- we also got a new puppy!  Her name is Pip and she's super cute and has a ton of energy!  She'll be excited when we get our next little puppy, Smalls, in a few weeks.  She and Smalls will be able to wear eachother out and Bella will finally get to rest.



But, you know me- here are pictures!
