325/365: little turkeys

The JCC Thanksgiving feast was this morning! Sam sang his Albaquerky Turkey song on stage and so much changes in a year...he went from running to me and not going on stage last year to repeatedly asking me if the video camera was charged and ready to film him on stage! And Luke LOVED the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes...what a great eater! He went back to his classroom and slept for 3 hours and then woke up to eat the lunch that I packed! Thank goodness for my little turkeys

323/365: magical parties

The magnificent Max had a magical 6th birthday party and it was great! The magician was great...especially "finding" money in all parts of Max's body and the kids just loved it! The parents were cracking up, too! Mimi pulled out her Kindergarten charm to get the rowdy kids to cooperate and Lola loved hanging in the back with Jay and Luke when the magician got a little loud and crazy. It was a great party and just like magic, right before our eyes Maxer-Moops is 6 years old...wow!!! Thank goodness for magical parties

320/365: morning entertainment

Sam likes to see Luke in his crib in he morning and when we are dragging to get out of bed, Sam is able to keep Luke happy until we get in to change his diaper, get him dressed and move along with the morning routine. This morning Sam found an Elmo puppet to entertain Luke with...they are both so lucky to have each other and I think they both know it! Thank goodness for morning entertainment

317/365: holiday card picture

Every year it takes some time to figure out what to do for a holiday card picture...when to take it and where...how to dress everyone and then of course, the hard part is getting everyone to cooperate! This year was a breeze! We had the beautiful mums and fall foliage out our front door and the boys had matching ties from their school photo this year. To keep Luke from crawling away, he sat in the wagon and bingo! we did it! Thank goodness for our holiday card photo this year

315/365: first soup of the season

Apple butternut squash soup...Luke and Jay enjoyed it and I was able to get Sam to taste it! Thank goodness for the first soup of the season

314/365: experimenting

I was playing around with the camera today while Luke napped...love how the sun burst came through the trees! Always trying out new things to learn with my camera. Thank godness for experimenting

309/365: being in the driver's seat

A year old and already Luke is sitting in the driver's seat! I love everything about this picture...the natural light through the windshield, Luke's little hands gripping the wheel, how the sweet coat fits him, the little hair getting caught on his long lashes and that sweet, candid expression. Thank goodness for being in the driver's seat

308/365: soapy favors

Thank goodness for little pumpkin pump soap favors for our sweet little pumpkin!
