Happy New Year!

This has been a wonderful, busy year! I haven't posted as much as I would have liked to, but will strive to find the time in 2010. We have some fun things planned for the coming year and I am looking forward to watching my children learn and grow. Here are some pictures from the last couple of months to catch you up!

Halloween

This Halloween was spent much like the Halloweens of the last few years--dressing up and visiting family and friends, and then heading to church for the harvest party. Abigail dressed as Sleeping Beauty and Ethan wore the skunk costume Abbie wore a couple years ago. They had a great time and were very cute.

Ethan's First Haircut

We were going to wait till Halloween to cut Ethan's hair, because we thought he would make a good Elvis:) But since he kept getting mistaken for a girl, we decided we couldn't wait. I love the hair cut, but I do miss the curls:)

Happy boy...pre-haircut!

The first cut!
Almost done!!

Sooo cute:) What a little man!
