Christmastime

I love being in Auburn where the light parade brings the whole town together. Every year we go, we wish we would have participated. All we'd have to do is jump on our scooters with a string of lights attached. Hmmmm, maybe next year (we always say). These are a few pictures from that night of festivities... which later included decorating gingerbread houses with the Garates. They have more pictures from this night on their blog if you want to see more...

Thanksgiving

The days surrounding Thanksgiving were eventful and fun for our family. We miss everyone throughout the year. It is always exciting to see the extended family that we rarely see. It is especially exciting when there is news to share. This year we were blessed to be able to tell our family that we are expecting another baby! We are thanking God already for the exciting potential of having a 4th child added to our family. Will we have a family of boys? Or will we have a girl with 3 older protectors? It's exciting to see what God has in store... as we patiently wait until July. Here are a few pictures from our trip:
