8 More Days!!

In 8 days I'll be on my way to Iowa to spend Thanksgiving with my wonderful family! I'm very excited for that. Our traditions have changed since we've grown up. We now celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving at the same time! We do it because we're all at my parent's house at the same time so we can all watch the little ones open presents. It's such a great time! I think Noah will get even more out of it this year. I can't wait for him and Addy to get together to play. Peyton will be so cute with them as the older one.

Here's some of Noah's latest.

He loves to "shop" while I make supper. He'll be getting a play kitchen for Christmas. He's always got to help me "cook".

He likes to try on our shoes.
He always takes out all the DVD's to look at.
Can you see him by all of our wood?
This is how we know Noah is ready for a nap.
He loves pancakes on Saturdays! Noah will even help me flip them. He usually eats 5 pancakes!

Long Time

Noah the artist.

I know it's been forever since I've written. Tyler and I lost our "free" Internet access at home, so I've got to do this at school. With 27 kids I don't have too much free time these days. :) I've got conferences tonight at tomorrow night. I'm not really looking forward to them right now. It just makes a long week.

Anyway, I just wanted to share some pics of what Tyler did at our house last month. He decided to climb our really huge tree to cut off a couple of dead branches. I was very nervous! He attached himself to the tree so he wouldn't fall, but even then I worried. Here's my lumberjack.
