Merry Christmas

 
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 
 





Halloween on the farm

One of our favorite fall traditions is going to the pumpkin patch.  We love the farm that is 5 minutes from our house.  This year it was still warm and sunny.

Fall break in South Carolina

We were so lucky to be able to spend a week with my parents in South Carolina for our fall break.  The boys and I went for a week and Eric came on the weekend.  We had a ball exploring!

First day of school

NICU Picnic

 
This Aug. marked our 4th year attending the St. Vincent NICU picnic.  It is always a great day at Lion's Park in Zionsville.  We see old nurses and doctor's from our time in the NICU, and sometimes other patients.  We ride the "train" every year and Cole and I are barely fitting anymore.  One of us is going to have to stop growing.
