A Milestone Day

Alexis lost her first tooth tonight. She has been playing with that thing for the last 3 or 4 weeks but she was determined to get it out over her Thanksgiving break! I can hardly believe it. She seems so grown up now...*sigh. She is thrilled and anxious to see what the tooth fairy brings her!!

Thanksgiving

This years Thanksgiving was out of the norm for us...we only had to eat one meal! While it was nice to only stuff ourselves once, the circumstances could have been different. We usually go to my parents in Bellefonte for lunch and then come up to Chuck and Jane's for dinner. Unfortunately while we were away last weekend in D.C. for the PSU/Indiana game Jane came down with severe stomach pains on Saturday morning that landed her in the hospital and then having emergency surgery Saturday evening. Chuck was able to come down and eat with us which made us all happy. (We are still waiting for Jane to be released from the hospital and are hopeful it will be in the next few days). We are so blessed to have such wonderful parents, friends and family members. I hope you all know how special you are to us and we are so thankful. We are getting very excited for the Christmas holiday and all that goes along with it.

We hope you all were able to reflect on all the blessings in your life. Much love xoxoxo

Dentist

This is a picture from the dentist yesterday. I love that Alexis feels so comfortable and relaxed when she's there!! Too funny!

1st Grade Picture

I've been waiting for the school pictures to arrive in the backpack for weeks now. They came today and I think (of course) that it turned out so cute. I can't believe how big she's getting. I love to compare the year to year pictures as I put the new one in the frame and I can't believe how fast the time is going!!

Trick or Treat 2010

For some unknown reason I did not take a "formal" picture of the kids with their halloween costumes on?! These are the best I could come up with. We got plenty of use from the costumes this year as we started halloween week by trick-or-treating at our local Wegman's grocery store and then on Thursday we went store to store at the mall. On Sunday we went to Bellefonte and did the regular festivities with little Connor. The kids had a great time and I'm trying now to get rid of the chocolate that is in the house...however, my method of removal isn't the best one!
