Hello there!  Yes it's been awhile since I've updated the website.  Hopefully I can get back into the habit of updating the site regularly!  Here are some pics from a light snow we got a couple of weeks ago.  I will do my best to post some pics of Kallen tomorrow.

 Last weekend we went to Christmas in the Park at James Ranch Park in Xenia.  We stood in line (outside) to visit with Santa and then took a wagon ride through the park which was decorated throughout with lights!

 Last Friday evening, St. Brigid School had their Christmas Concert.  The Kindergarten class sang a few songs and did a great job!  Kenton is on the top row in the middle in the plaid shirt.

 Here a couple of pictures from the Xenia Christmas parade a couple of weekends ago!  There were only about 10 entries, but there were alpacas!

 Here are some more Christmas pictures, including Keesha reading a Christmas story to the kids.

 These are from the weekend after Thanksgiving when we decorated the Christmas tree!

 A couple of weeks ago we went to IKEA in Cincinnati to pick up a couple of things.  The kids loved that store even before the Christmas decorations.  Kenton (who hates shopping for the most part) even says he wishes we could live at IKEA!

 Kallen has started holding her head up pretty well.  She likes sitting in the bumbo chair and being like the big kids.

 Here are some more pics of Kallen.

 Last weekend we went over to Cox Arboretum in Dayton and had a great time.  It was a little chilly, but the sun was out which helped keep us a little warmer.  Running around the grounds of the park helped keep the older kids warm, too!

Here is a picture of Kallen from a couple of weeks ago.  She is definitely growing!

 The girls before we headed out to go Trick or Treating.  Kenton decided to stay home and hand out candy with Keesha.

 On October 28th, Emery's school had Dad's day.  The kids sang songs for us and then we had lunch together, provided by the preschool.  Emery and I had a great time.

 Last week we decorated our pumpkins.  The kids did not want to carve them because they did not want them to rot quicker, so I gave them some sharpies and let them decorate their own.  We did use a stencil to paint the triceratops onto Kenton's pumpkin.

 The kiddos in their PJs.

 Such a cute little witch!  Last Friday we went trunk or treating at a church in Beavercreek.  When we got out of the van, there was a little boy (probably about 3 years old) getting out of the car next to us dressed in a costume and carrying a pretend sword.  He pointed the sword at Kenton and Emery and said "I'm going to kill you".  Kenton looked up at us and said that the boy wasn't being very nice.  Before his mom had a chance to tell him to be nice, Emery looked him right in the eye and said "I'm going to put a spell on you!"

 A couple of weekends ago, Aunt Bobbie invited us down for her neighborhood Halloween party.  There were games, food, and crafts.  The kids had a great time at the party and as always we all enjoyed visiting with Aunt Bobbie.
