My mom came a couple of weekends ago for Grandparents Day at Lily's school. It so happened that my dad was out of town and so was Jeff so she spent the whole weekend. We had such fun shopping, eating every meal out and just being together. The kids were overjoyed to have her here for the whole weekend. We'll be headed to Kentucky a week from tomorrow for Thanksgiving to see everyone else. It's been since our Myrtle Beach vacation in July since we have been there. Way too long. We are "homesick".

HALLOWEEN

Above are a couple more fall pics I liked.

Wyatt doing Singstar at his friend Michael's get together on Halloween (hence the afros)

Lily ready to trick-or treat with her friends Emma and Savannah

Cool daddy

AAArgh matey--love when those recital costumes get a second use!!

Lily and Wyatt carving pumpkins

They all did a great job carving their pumpkins.

I took this picture before we went out to dinner last night. I just think they look so grown up. I am so proud of the way they are growing up and maturing. It's so cool to get glimpses of the adults they will turn out to be. At ages 11 and 9, we are definitely starting to see some of those. We feel so blessed to have such great kids.

FALL PHOTO SHOOT

Tracee inspired me to get some Fall pictures of the kids. I haven't taken them to get professional pictures done in a long time and didn't have many of them together. So, yesterday, we went to Potter's Bridge and took some. I think I got some really good ones. I tried out some different settings on my camera and am still trying to figure out what works best. I was especially happy to get some good ones of Wyatt. He always seems to be the hardest. Lily is a ham and loves to pose. They both did really well, though.
