November

Our sweet baby boy turned one and a half.

And sister had to be right there beside him. ;)

 Isn't he a doll?  Thank you, Jesus.

 Second grade had their PTA musical performance.

Peter led his class in (probably because he is THE tallest kid- and so handsome).

 This special lady has been giving Peter extra help this year. 

She is so wonderful and once again, one of God's perfect provisions for Peter and us.  

We are always so thankful for all of the many ways He provides for us.

Peter loves his time with her (just not having his picture taken) & has been doing a tremendous job in school this year.  We are so thankful for all the wonderful ways God has made & helped him.

 Pop had a birthday in November.  We were happy to oblige with a little celebration.

We also celebrated Maw's Birthday and Thanksgiving but I don't have pics of those uploaded quite yet. :)

Fall Photo Shoot

Back in October, we took the kids to my parents house for the weekend so I could do a photo shoot with them.  When my cousin got married back in May, his photographer did pictures at the old bridge near my parents so I thought it would be fun to try pictures there.  It feels near impossible to get them to all be happy and look at the camera at the very same moment.  This first one became our Christmas Card.  The rest are mostly funny outtakes!  

{I also wanted to be able to capture this girls' short-lived toothless grin.}

 They found a little frog.

Columbus Day

We made a family run to a local farm/pumpkin patch.  It was a gorgeous day and lots of fun!

I got to do a corn maze with these two. 

 And Ben in a wrap- oh my heart. Love any chance to hold this growing boy close.

While the Big Kids are away...

{late Sept 2015: 16 months old}

He is such a sweet, joyful child.
