Happy Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for this year.
*Noel has had a great year--he's stayed healthy for the most part, and he continues to amaze us every day with his wit and understanding.
*Despite all of the setbacks at Delphi, David still has a job
*I am still able to stay home with Noel, since David still has a job!
*We have a little girl on the way in April!
*We are headed to visit the Wittenbachs in Ohio to celebrate Thanksgiving and enjoy being together.
God continues to take care of us, guide us, and protect us.

We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. What are you thankful for?

Halloween Festivities

I know, I know, it's the middle of November, but since our computer has been on the fritz, I am slowly trying to catch up with pictures. These ones are from our fun Halloween activities. We don't have any pictures (thank goodness) of the not-so-fun Halloween activities, which included Noel getting sick in the middle of

the night on the 30th. We opted to stay home and just let him play in the front yard and hand out the candy, which he loved doing. Every time people came by, he would get so excited and then say, "Happy Halloween!" to which they ooohed and aaahed at how cute our little pumpkin was. I also had to post a picture of our jack-o-lanterns. Can you guess which one is David's? Yes, that is Sparty. So proud, so proud.

More Fun on the Farm

We have lots of pictures to share from the farm. These are some highlights of Noel riding in farm equipment. I did want to document that not only did I drive a forklift (Hi-Lo) for the first time, but I carried an apple box, too. The other 2 pictures are of Noel enjoying some quality farm time with David. He still talks about this almost every day, and it's been a month. I think this boy has some farm boy blood in him.

Catching Up

We have lots of pictures to post, so I'll just do a few a day. In early October we went to Michigan to visit David's family. We had lots of fun spending time with everyone and enjoying some beautiful (yet chilly) weather on the farm. Some highlights for Noel were getting a new tractor from Grandma and Grandpa and visiting his best friend, Mr. Hi-Lo. The other picture is of David and Noel showing off one of Noel's favorite pasttimes: playdough. He wants us to build anything he can think of, which makes for some challenging feats, but we enjoy seeing his mind figure things out. What a funny kid. Here they are showing off some farm animals.
