Sunday

I really woke up this morning wanting to do better. I am just so grateful for the little things that seem to pass by through our lives that make such a big difference. Whether it be friends, stories, kids, or even something like food...:) I know that many things have inspired me to want to be better. So many thoughts and stories from people I know well and people I have never met. I know that it isn't any coincidence either that things happen the way they do. I am learning more and more everyday. I love the insipiration that comes to do better. I am not perfect and I fail short day after day, but I am grateful that we can pick back up each day and start over and try again. How lucky we are and how blessed I feel. I don't know what will come my way in my life, but what I do know is that if I can keep my friends and family close come what may. With thanksgiving around the corner I find myself feeling more and more thankful for the little things I have in my life and how I don't want to take anything for grantid. And to fully live each day and try to be happy despite all the turmoil around us.

Halloween

Emma was tinkerbell. Carston was a
tiger and it didn't take him long to
figure out how to get candy.

Boston and his other two friends, Carter

and Brendyn were Iron Man!

I just love this baby

Carston is such a happy baby, and everytime

he smiles I just want to squeeze him!

These boys would spend every second they could with each. Brendyn is in there just his legs are showing. All 3 of these boys decided they needed to be iron man for Halloween. So, there will be 3 iron mans running around on Oct. 31st!!!
