A.'s Court of Honor

A. Earned his Eagle Scout and tonight was the ceremony.  It was a great ceremony with family and friends.  The world needs more young men like A., the newest Eagle Scout in Navarre.

The M. Family

Here is the M. Family three plus Wallace.  Thanksgiving this year was extremely warm, mid 70 degree weather....what a shock to the system!  It was nice to spend time with the M.'s and enjoy each others' company this holiday.

A Thankful November

We are nearing Thanksgiving, in fact it is one week from today. Where has November gone?  We are finally back to chilly mornings and nights and somewhere in between nice warm afternoons.  Perhaps I will make a list today of the things I am most grateful for:
1.  Three healthy and loving children
2.  My good health and spiritual strength
3.  My sweetie's secure and adventurous job
4.  Christmas carols
5.  Our up coming move to England
6.  Mint hot cocoa
7.  Extended Family and the love they share, even many miles apart
8.  Having a buddy for church choir, even if she's only five years old
9.  A camera to capture snap shots of memories
10.  Sisters
11.  Looking at Buddy today and seeing more and more of my husband in him
12.  The amazing grace of the Lord, Jesus Christ

After My Photo Shoot Tonight

After my Photo Shoot with the M. family, I was very distracted driving over the bridge when I was greeted by this!  I had to pull over and take a photo or two.   What a beautiful earth God has given to us.

M. Family Fun!

 I had the pleasure of snapping some family pictures for the M. family.  This is the first time they've ever had family photos done, it was an honor and a blast.  I just love this family!  It is mid November and we've been enjoying 70 degree weather.  Tonight was a perfect night to spend time with your most favorite people...family!

Good Things Come in Threes

J. Turns Five!

Saturday we were invited to celebrate the birthday of J.!  This sweet little boy is one of my daughters favorite buddies.  It was a fun birthday celebration at the park.  A breezy but beautiful sunny afternoon, perfect day to have a party.  Happy Birthday sweet J!

Delicious chocolate zucchini cupcakes and hugs all around.  

A Soon To Be Arrival

Baby McGregor will be arriving soon and boy does he have a loving family waiting for his debut.  This was really a fun photo shoot and a light hearted couple to enjoy this evening with.  It had been raining all day yesterday and a good portion of the morning, luckily it cleared and we had blue skies and a soft ocean breeze.  Congratulations McGregor family, we are excited to soon meet your boy!

Happy Halloween!

This year's Trunk or Treat everyone (even Buddy) felt the excitement as we dressed them up in their little costumes.  As our children are growing, parenthood just seems to be getting better and better.  Maybe we're more skilled or maybe growing out of the baby phase helps make things a bit simpler, but this year was a blast!  Our cousin and neighbor friend came along with us to Trunk or Treat Saturday.  Let me introduce to you Buddy the Sheriff, Sweet S. Fairy, B. the Pink Witch and Little Lady Bug E.

Sheriff finally figuring out what this Trunk or Treat really meant, it had candy involved!

By the end of the evening, our little lady bug was completely exhausted.  I tell you, this is the warmest Halloween we've ever had.  I thought it might get chilly, so I dressed the little ones with long sleeves, I        think that was an over kill.  It was hovering around 70 degrees, wow that's warm.
