Thankful

We have a lot to be thankful for this year -- our family, friends, health, jobs, home, fun celebrations in the past and ones we look forward to this coming year. The 2 things I am most thankful for today: my daughter Shay and how much she makes me smile (see picture :), and baby Carroll number 2 arriving sometime in April 2010.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Another Playdate

Catharine and I decided it would be good to have the kiddos get together. Usually we moms get together for lunch at work or a quick shopping trip, but Shay and Patrick hadn't seen each other for a while-- so here comes a playdate! This one included warm chocolate chip cookies.

Late Birthday Celebration

My parents came down to just hang out with us for a couple of days; my dad had a work conference in Rochester and my mom was able to be with Shay. One of the nights we headed to one of our favorite restaurants (Chesters) to celebrate Brett's birthday. It was a late 30th bday celebration since I had H1N1 on his actual birthday, but still fun!

Happy Halloween

Pengelly's

We were able to celebrate Halloween in many ways. Last weekend we had a halloween party at our friends Rodd and Kristina's which included eating (of course), pumpkin carving, a bonfire and scary movie. See pic below for our pumpkin creations. On Halloween, Angie, Evan and Owen came down to visit. We dressed the kids up for a couple of pictures, and headed to Grandma's house for another picture with cousins Olive and Millie. Afterwards, we all headed out for Mexican. Yum!
