Faith has started crawling - more like dragging herself across the room by her arms and pushing with her feet. She's not quite up on her hands and knees, but still quite fast at what she does! I took this about a month ago and I just liked this shot. The look on her face is sweet. She's growing up fast! 
I know this pic is blown out, but I liked it. Sidney is such a pill to most, but you'll never totally convince my mom of that! She has a big heart for her kitties - even Sid! He's her baby!
Maddie is so taken with her Poppa Wes - she talks about him all the time at home and sticks to him like glue when we visit Ohio. I must say that my dad is such a great grandpa! He loves to play with the kids - whether it's hide and go seek (one of their favorites) or playdoh or walking in the woods looking for Pooh's house or coloring or just dancing to records in the living room and having a blast - they LOVE it! Here's Maddie and Poppa coloring and conversing...
Yes, Faith was there too, although you wouldn't know it since this is the only picture we took of her the whole weekend! Love that precious face! I don't think she liked Poppa's hat!
Pics as follows...
A week or two before Thanksgiving, we made a quick weekend trip to Columbus. We wanted to surprise my Dad, who put a lot of work and effort into planning a Veteran's Day USO show for his church and the community. The show was a huge hit and we were so glad to be a part of it. Quinn always says how much he loves coming to Columbus to visit because it is always so nice to get away. And mom does a great job of making it warm and inviting for everybody! We had a great time - even though our trips to and from Columbus were completely different complicated matters in themselves. (I'll post about them soon!)
Late this past summer, Quinn and I wanted to get some good pictures of the girls (seeing as how he's getting more into photography and we have absolutely zero recent nice pics of them!). I think they turner out great - you be the judge! For a while we didn't show anyone because we were going to get good copies made and give them to our families - besides wallets, that has yet to happen. Seems typical of us, huh? What can I say except life gets in the way - which brings me to tonight. I realized that I never got to post them on the blog and so here they are! We couldn't get a good one of Faith, but I thought this one of her and Pooh are adorable! (And he even got a good one of me - which is rare these days) I love my girls and I know Daddy is so proud!!
Back in October, I got to accompany Grace's Kindergarten class to visit Post Family Farm. My mother-in-law watched the younger girls and it was so much fun for me to go with Grace. The only problem was that it was so unexpectedly cold - way colder than the half hour East of there where we live! I don't get the mother of the year award for that one - I sent her to school with no hat or gloves - instead I made her pull her shirt sleeves down out of her coat and grip them with her fingers to keep them somewhat shielded from the elements. I mean it was COLD people!! I froze my tush off! Despite the weather, we had a great time - it always makes me thankful when I get to do those things because I know there are lots of moms and dads who don't get to or don't take the time to share in special days like those. I love my girl and am so proud of her. We got to see all kinds of animals, go on a hayride (through thick mud - I didn't think we were going to make it!), pick out pie pumpkins and then sample fresh doughnuts and cider before leaving for school. Oh my goodness - they were the BEST PUMPKIN SPICE DOUGHNUTS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!! AND THE CIDER ROCKED! I bought a dozen doughnuts and needless to say they didn't last long!
My Punkin in the Pumpkin Patch!
Grace and one of her best friends Kaitlyn - who interestingly is the daughter of Quinn's best friend since middle school. We think it's great and very neat that they go to the same school and are in the same class!
Mrs. H's Kindergarten class!

Hello Everyone! It has been ages since this blog has been updated. I apologize for the neglect - and after hearing my husband give me a hard time about how I never update the blog anymore - I've had enough!! Lol. (No hard feelings or anything!) Life has just been happening. It seems at warp speed most of the time. I'll try and share a few things that have happened as well as share some pictures that are long overdue!
