It's the small things in life...




Have you ever noticed how small things that we adults take for granted seem to amuse babies and toddlers? Paige is completely in awe of Christmas lights and decorations. When we walk by the decorated Christmas Trees in stores she literally has to catch her breath! It is the sweetest thing you have ever seen.

Nana bought some outdoor Christmas lights and with the help of Uncle Ry, hung them on Paige’s favorite Spruce tree in the backyard. We couldn’t keep her away from the window last night, and she wanted to go out in the bitter cold and check out her tree! This girl is a brut…she doesn’t care how cold she gets…she doesn’t want to come in the house.

Aren’t there some days that you wish you could live the life in the shoes of your babies? Where your home is your playhouse, your backyard is an adventure waiting to happen; your parents are the center of your universe, food is not tempting (to my baby anyway :), and naps are routine.

Life is short…take time to smell the roses and see the Christmas lights!

What the?

Last Sunday morning, Nana looked out the kitchen window and said "Uh... I think we have a problem". I was scared to look but I did. The wind was blowing like crazy that morning and blew 2 eight foot sections of our fence down...broke the post completely in two!



So Uncle Ry to the rescue! He came over Sunday to check it out...in the pouring rain...and decided that he would have to dig the old post stub out and set a new one. So he was going to come over the next night and get that done.
Well Nana, Kenna and I decided to get a head start on it for him...after all...we aren't totally useless :)

Kenna the SheRah did most of the work...




Ry's going to finish up the job this weekend...we should be good as new!

Halloween!



Paige's first trip Trick or Treating...by the look on her face I don't think she knew why she was dressed up in a funny suit with big ears, knocking on the neighbors door holding a bag. But I'm sure she will get the hang of it...






It wouldn't be Halloween without the BraxMeist! So we were glad that he stopped by for a treat and a quick pic!
