The Best Place To Be Is Together

Two of the best things about having a family blog are that
1. It's another way to document events and development in our family, and
2. To communicate and share photos with extended family, especially those who do not live close or those who are not on Facebook.

On September 24, 2011, we had a Family Photo Session photographed by Jody Noel (Heart and Soul Photography). We had a lot of fun and were very happy with the results. I put together a little video of some of the photos!!

October.... Already?!

Wow! September has come and gone... uhm, hello October!?!

On the September long weekend, we celebrated the wedding of a beautiful couple, Michelle and Jason Villadsen! My cousin was a stunning bride and we couldn't be happier for the two of them! Congratulations!!



We took in the Sesame Street exhibit at the TWOSE and loved it! Jenna adores Elmo (but wasn't such a huge fan like Colby to meet him in person!) and we all enjoyed the activities in the exhibit!







Our little girl turned 2 on September 21st! Not sure how that happened or where the last two years have gone...... We had a great Polka Dot Party on Sept. 18th and celebrated with family and close friends. Thankfully, the weather cooperated and the kids enjoyed playing outside, doing a polka dot canvas craft, and enjoyed yummy cupcakes and cakepops after dinner :) Thank you again, to Auntie Kristy, for making Jenna's cupcakes and #2 cake! Jenna was absolutely spoiled by everyone and is loving her new toys. Thank you, everyone! We are blessed to have such fabulous people in our lives. Thank you to Grandma Cameron who came down to help celebrate too! So nice to have you at our house for a few days!! Love you all :)









As usual, in the life of a teacher, September was one of my busiest months. With a lot of work prepping the classroom, meeting my new class, completing plans and documents, coaching Running Club and attending weekly races, etc., I worked a lot of hours this month. Thank goodness for my amazing husband who helps out SO much!!! Now that September is over, hopefully life will calm down a bit. I have a great class this year and am enjoying the eager group of students I have!

The kids both began swimming lessons last weekend and are doing really well so far! Colby was having some confidence issues in the last session, so we were a bit worried about how things were going to go this time in his unparented class. Seems like a little break from the lessons and a few more months of growing has helped :) He loved it! And loves his teacher with "the crazy hair!" Jenna is in a parented session and is doing well too. Since her issues with ear infections, she hasn't been to lessons in a long time. Hopefully she continues to enjoy it and develop her confidence and skills :)

The long weekend ahead is looking like it's going to be a busy one for our family with a few visits from friends set up, our nephews', Landon and Jordan, birthday party, and hosting and cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Looking forward to a fun time :)

Have a great rest of the weekend, everyone! Happy Fall :)
