pumpkin patch with ella

yesterday we took aven to the richmond hill pumpkin patch with our friends jon and brenda and their little girl, ella. ella is a month younger than aven and they have a blast together. they rode in ella's wagon and were certainly attention getters from the ladies working the pumpkin patch!!

Eating Dinner

Welcome Home, Daddy

i had these pictures taken for damion as a welcome home gift and now that he has opened them, i wanted to share with everyone. it's amazing how fast she is growing and she is such a daddy's girl. they are inseparatable. hope you all enjoy!!

look what i can do!!

we've been praticing and i can finally do it!!! this one's for daddy-maybe next will be metal chairs on the ice rink- we love you!!

surprise visit from nanny!!

my mom came down this weekend to visit and we had a great time. we went to the park and rode the swings and slide, walmart and played cowgirl, and went to cracker barrel where aven tasted pancakes for the first time. i think she is going to be a pancake fan just like her parents. we had a great time and can't wait until the next visit.

Happy Anniversary

yesterday, 31 Aug, was our 6th anniversary. Happy Anniversary, Babe, and thanks for all the wonderful memories!!! Within these six years, we've moved 5 times, have been apart for over 80% of it, traveled to some of the most beautiful places in the U.S., been to Disney and had breakfast with Eeyore, and now the biggest shock of all-we have a beautiful little girl!! how blessed we are- my love, amanda
