Happy Thanksgiving!

We have sooo much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

First of all, we are extremely thankful for our beautiful, smart, and loving daughter Addison. I don't remember how we survived withou

Next comes our health. Although I am not back to 100% yet, I am on my way! Chris had his 2 year check-up in August and is doing good!

Our family and friends - with out you, we wouldn't be where we are now. Thank you for all of your thoughts, prayers, encouragement, support and help over the last two years (and many more).

Jobs - In a time where many are unemployed, we happy to have good paying jobs. We are thankful for the opportunities we have been given and any future opportunities that come our way.

Our Pets - Although they haven't gotten as much attention as I would like to be able to give them lately, they are still true to us, and love our little girl even more. We could never have asked for better pets to play with her. She adores them just the same, and she thinks they are absolutely hilarious. There is nothing that can give her "belly laughs" more than "the girls" can.

And so many more! I am grateful for many things this Thanksgiving even if I haven't listed them.

Over a month!

Wow, I can't believe it has been over a month since I've updated this! Sorry to all of our devoted viewers (especially Merrill, since she's part of my motivation for finally doing it) for my lack of posts. I just can't believe where the time goes! I've been trying to do a little more freelance work and photography, and of course snuggling and mommy/baby time along with play dates and of course work. All of a sudden I realized it was the end of November already. Can you imagine? lol.

So for your update...

Addison had her first Halloween! She loved it, we only went to a few houses but she loved trick or treating and handing out candy as well!



She also made her first trip down to Tulsa, Oklahoma to see her uncle Joe.



We had Chinese food at P.F. Changs...



While in Tulsa she also got to go to an aquarium for the first time!






Grandma and Grandpa Knepper even met us down there.


She was able to meet her great Aunt Allison (my godmother) and a couple of her cousins (Emily and Abby)!

Abby plays volleyball for Marshall University (The movie "We are Marshall" was filmed after they school lost their football team in a plan crash). We were lucky to be able to watch her play, but were sad that we only saw her for about 15 minutes when her game was over. Addi can't wait to see her aunt and cousins again soon. Check out this kill Abby had at her game (watch number 12).
