Oh wow. I almost feel guilty that I haven't posted since September! I've tried many times to sit down and upload a few new photos (thus the photo of the carved pumpkins that showed up in the header), but lo and behold, something would always pull me away. Could it be the 1 year old tugging at my pant leg or the 4 year old needing some attention? Hmmm. :) You know the story.
Either way, I am sad that I haven't posted more because this is my online journal for Mia & Zoe. I can only get better! The good news is that we've been busy and celebrated yet another birthday party (Travis' was this past week), our first big snowfall, our 13th Anniversary, Zoe's first steps and Halloween. For this week, we're getting ready to have Thanksgiving at our home with Travis' family. Should be fun and action-packed to stay home this year and enjoy the holidays together.
We spent a lot of our time this Fall up at Snowbird. They had some great activities for the kids (Mia loved the alpine slide!) and we stayed up at The Cliff Lodge for our anniversary.
Every now and then I find random snapshots like this on the hard drive when I'm going through the photos. Not sure how Mia's face showed up in this photo, but I can tell you that this is a very typical scene in our home. Two beagles, patiently awaiting the crumbs and sometimes the sweet taste of a Bunny Graham that either gets tossed or falls to the floor. What a life!
We celebrated Halloween FIVE times this year. It was exhausting! (School, church, work, family...and then the actually holiday finally showed up) Once again...what a life!
Eleven years later (or 77 years old in dog years) and she's still got that spark to run in the snow! Go Piper GO!
Here is Mia's FIRST EVER snowman. Built with love and care by Mia and her mom in our backyard. Mia named her, Foofa.
I had to post this other very typical scene in our home. Zoe loves the fridge...inside and outside. It's become a favorite pastime.
Happy Birthday, Daddy! We love you!!
