I'm-a-back! (for now at least!)

Um, yeah, life has just been busy.  Just no time these days to update our blog. 
But life is still happening.
And it's a beautiful season that we're in.
Here's the latest:

The chocolate advent calendar... a favorite tradition from Carrie.
 Cookie decorating...
 Cookie eating...
 Sleeping out under the tree (while watching the OSU game!)...
I definitely remember doing this with Zach at home growing up... love that the kids were so excited about it too.
 Fisher Price nativity set... this year Brady really gets to enjoy it!
Good lookin' kid, right here...
 Another good lookin' kid!  (At big brother's basketball game)
 Eric and I said good-bye to the Mazda a few weeks back.
A lot of life happened in that car... our first big purchase together after marriage, driving to/from my first real job, trips to OH, MI, and MO, bringing Lucas home from the hospital when he was born, etc.
 Enjoying our new wheels, minus Brady.
 The new car... a 2012 Ford Fusion.
We sure do enjoy it!
 ...those goggles. ...and that girl.
...these two always up to something!
...wait for me!!
 Thanksgiving treasures in the mail!
 ...the season's first snowman!  (We got quite a bit of snow early in November already!)
 Smiles!
 ...multi-tasking.
 Precious pumpkin.
 What?  You don't hang upside-down in the back of your car?

 The closest thing Sophie gets to walking a dog...
 Love these next pics....couldn't pick just one.
(enjoying popcorn)



 Winter gear, knitted by Aunt Alicia.  Matchy Matchy!
 Love seeing that smile!
 Watching Dad do his final mowing of the year.

Ditto, Nali. So thankful. Grandpa says, "It's so fun to see how much fun the kids have together. You can see how much Brady looks up to Lucas and Sophie."
