October - December

I am totally way over due for an update. I can't believe my last post was in October! Here's the brief update. Adler turned 3, got glasses, Aunts Shelley and Rylie came to town for the party - Aunt Rylie & Bryan made the best Diego and Baby Jaguar cupcakes! He is now in underwear and we are working on making it to the potty in time! Beckett is pro crawler - on all 4s, is pulling up and cruising. He is HILARIOUS! Loves to be silly and play and has a great sense of humor. Everyone calls him the quiet one, but I think he is full of personality and is going to give Adler a run for his money on being the center of attention!

We had a great Thanksgiving! Neanie, Papa, Grandma D.O., & Aunts Rylie and Shelley came for a wonderful weekend of food, shopping and entertainment (provided by Adler and Beckett). It was fun to host the weekend and I enjoyed the time with my family! We took some great pictures that Stephen will be providing:)

December was a month of patience! Things began to slow down for Stephen's business while a few other job opportunities presented themselves. We will just have to wait and see which of these God is leading our family to and which takes off in the New Year! We spent about 11 days in Texas and had a great time with family! Thanks grandparents for putting up with us for so long! I know it's a lot to have our rambunctious family taking over your house! We started with a great visit to my mom's school where she is the principle, a visit with the Wells family, trips to the park (the weather was insanely GORGEOUS in Texas), some last minute Christmas shopping, a girls trip to see the Nutcracker (beautiful!), getting my toes done with my mom, Christmas eve service for Adler, then the candle light service with my family (always special). Christmas morning was so fun with the kids. Adler really got into Santa this year! The boys got some wonderful gifts - Adler's favorite was his double barrel Nerf shot-gun from Grandpa. He pretty much didn't want to open any other presents after that one! He also got a Big Wheels that he got really good at riding! Beckett enjoyed all the paper and bows and got some cute toys and stuffed animals - an adorable hat from Anthropologie (from Santa) & a Lighting McQueen ride-on toy he LOVES! There a LOTS of pictures from this Christmas, so we just need to get those from Stephen too! Here are some pictures I tried to upload a long time ago
