How could you not want to....

KISS THIS FACE! 

What Can Brown Do For You?

Halloween was definitely more exciting this year....Little Man slept through most of the festivities last year (see below).   There a couple different parties that he attended....one with our FEAST group and then "Trunks of Treats" with our small group at church.  He was more amazed with checking out all the other costumes than he was with possibility of getting candy.

Our little UPS man suprised everyone.....they all wanted to know where we found his costume.  It was given as a gift from Uncle Jay, who works at UPS in Atlanta!  Thanks! 

Just thought I would take a trip down memory lane....while it was on my mind....here was Little Man's first Trick or Treat experience.  

A Windy City Visit....

Lake Michigan

Chicago, the Windy City, is one of the most FUN cities I have been to.  Even though it was our third time to visit, it gets better and better!!!  Mom, Dad, Blake, and I enjoyed every minute of it......ok, not every minute, because it was the first time that we had spent an entire weekend away from our Little Man.  I was sad at first, but quickly realized that a little adult time is good for the soul.   (I called at least three times a day just to check in though!)  However, he was with his Grammie and Granddaddy and having a blast!!  While there we ate at great restruants, shopped on Michigan Avenue, went to see Blue Man Group  (*hillarious*), went to the Hancock Builiding and even rented Segways to tour the beautiful city (FUN!!).  Needless to say, I cannot wait to back soon!!    :-)

a tourist favorite!  looks like we are washing windows outside the Hancock Observatory

Faces at Fourteen Months!

Little Man turned 14 MONTHS old yesterday! I won't say it, but you know what I am thinking (where has the time gone?)

True Friends.

True friends are very rare and are truly blessings from God. I am so thankful for friends that have been there through the good and the bad, the sad and the happy. A friendship that doesn't change with the times or the circumstances. Brothers and Sister in Christ. Enough said.

We love N and C....we met as neighbors, quickly became great friends, had lots of wonderful and crazy nights hanging out in our driveways/backyards (we were NEXT door neighbors people!) -- fun, amazing times that I look back on with a smile! We have been through a lot as friends. Both sadly experienced loss of babies together (I miscarried, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who is now in Jesus' arms) then, by God's grace happily experienced pure joy one year later when our baby boys were born only THREE days apart! What can I say? People like this only come around once in a lifetime.

not sure what's going on here? just having a good time!

our boys!

we decided to put them both in the bath before leaving! (they'll hate this pic someday!)

this was so cute from behind!! 

****check out how WHITE Little Man is - definitely fair skinned! i need to get him some tanning bed visits pronto! ha! ha! just joking!****

I hope that our boys grow up to become the best of friends too!

Peek - A - Boo!

Don't we all wish bath time was this much fun?
