We are surviving!

Life has been out of sorts since Aaron's brother died. We are slowly getting back into our regular routine after the funeral, out of town guests, and busy schedules. I wanted to thank everyone who offered support and love to us during this difiicult time in our lives.

There really hasn't been too many photo opts lately, but I do have a couple of cute pictures that I took of the baby. Next week she will be 6 months it's hard to believe how time flies. I have been reflecting on that subject a lot lately and I'm so grateful for time and the memories that are created because of it. Such a simple thing that we all take for granite and yet it is such a huge regret when it's no longer there.

Anyway... I'll get back to picture taking and capturing the elements of life that mean so much to me. My family!

Sorry I couldn't see when I uploaded this photo that it was blurry. Samantha is learning how to take photos and she actually took this one. I'm too lazy to change this photo. Sorry!

She loves playing the with her bows!

In Memory of Adam Joseph Wilson

Aaron's brother lost his battle with cancer yesterday. We are grateful for the time that we had with him and the memories that we will cherish forever.

Halloween Fun!

I love this time of year the changing of the leaves, temperatures dropping, and cute little kids dressed up in Halloween costumes. It was so fun (and stressful) to get each girl ready in their chosen costume and make-up for the year as they transformed from being my beautiful girls into a very scary vampire (Samantha), the stunning princess Snow White (Alexis), and into a cute little ladybug (Avery). However, after the 4th time of getting them all done up I was ready to call it quits. Until next year Halloween!

Our annual pumpkin carving contest! I think I took first prize for my creative take on pumpkin carving or should I say placing stickers on mine because after carving 2 kids pumpkins I was all carved out!

Birthday's Galore!

We have done nothing it seems like for the last month except celebrate birthdays. Alexis had her 4th birthday on the 28th of October. This year she got to have her first birthday party and guess who came... none other than her very favorite princess Snow White! She had a great time and it was so much fun to see all her little princess friends (and a few knights) come and help her celebrate it!

Alexis, her cute friend from preschool Avery, and Snow White. Snow White is teaching them how to be a princess in these photos, They are all listening so intently.
