Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to THIS GUY! {the big one not the little one... but I guess if one is really keeping track we could ALL celebrate!}

Many years ago... ok NINE...

{but that is a long time for two 27 year olds}

two people fell in love at a -magical- place called Ohio University

In chemistry lab over a Bunsen burner... perhaps it was the fetal pig dissection in bios who knows... whatever the beginnings... one could say it -IS-

{At least in my humble opinion}

Happy Anniversary to quite possibly the greatest husband this girl could have ever imagined. I love that our anniversary falls so close to thanksgiving because it will never cease to remind me how thankful I am to have you to share my life with!

Blink of an Eye Pics

Our family pictures from Blink of an Eye Photography are back! and once again... Carmen did a FABULOUS job! {you can we we are very happy about them!}

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day! It always makes me sad that Daddy Frank has to go to work on Veterans Day! He never seems to complain though... at least he is on on call Thursday night...

Thank you to all those veterans in our lives... Thank you to the men and women in the military who serve and continue to serve to protect our country... today is your day and I hope that everyone takes a little time to honor and celebrates this special day!

My FAVORITE veteran circa 2005

Looking very handsome as usual! I know we are now technically "Navy" but the Marine Corps uniform is definitely my favorite one... especially with this guy wearing it!

20 Weeks and counting

Half Way There! {More or less} and the size of a Cantaloupe

We are very excited to meet the newest addition when he or she gets here!

Trick or Treat!

Daddy Frank came home on Saturday from {practically} two moths away!

This little cowboy was all smiles

Aunt Molly also came over to help with trick or treat

Frank liked to get candy at every house

Daddy Frank as a parrot, Wyatt the astronaut, Frank as Woody and Ava as Dorothy

Cutest little woody... very happy to trick or treat

Woody and Elliott as Rex

Frank's favorite candy of the evening were these eye balls someone gave us

He was so fascinated by them he kept showing us where his eyes go!

Our little Woody had quite the Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

UD Trick or Treat

Frank's preschool went trick or treating today, and I was lucky enough to have my plan period and lunch at the perfect time so I could attend! It was so cute to see Frank interacting with his friends and classmates. Usually during pick up or drop off he stops what he is doing because he is so excited to see me I never get to watch those interactions.... it was priceless! He is such a cute little guy with his friends, polite and cooperative, and surprisingly very social! I took some pictures as his teachers took 24 kids (both 2 year old class rooms) around campus.

Frank was very excited to see me when I arrived!

Woody and some of his friends :)

Running into the older preschoolers on campus... THEY got to actually trick or treat and get candy! Next year I suppose...

Walking through campus

Frank and one of his classmates after the walk. Woody and a cowgirl!

More friends. Woody and Buzz! (and a fairy princess)

What a great afternoon sent with the world's cutest Woody!

Boo at the Zoo!

Saturday Frank and I went to Columbus to meet up with Mimi at Boo at the Zoo! It gave us a great chance to give Frank's costume a "test run".

Frank as Woody! {and I know I am biased... but he is a perfect Woody}

Frank was very excited to meet the Red Robin

He also enjoyed touching the animals in the touch pond!

We were also able to meet up with Jack and Marisa at the zoo!

Woody on his horse!

More halloween pictures to come! Frank as Trick-or-Treat at UD tomorrow and then neighborhood beggars night is Saturday with DADDY!!
