Merry Christmas Everyone!
I hope your day was as fun and blessed as ours was! We spent the morning opening presents and making breakfast. Then Eric made a wonderful Prime Rib..YUMMY.
Aiden was blessed with so many wonderful gifts. Santa brought him a little rocking horse which he loved :) I think by the end of the day he was over stimulated and exhausted :) Grandma and Grandpa had fun sharing the day with us.
We hope you all had a wonderful day!
Like many people I woke up this morning and found myself thinking about our new President and the state of this country. Many of you know that my upbringing had very liberal views from one side and very conservative views from another side. I think I'm blessed because I've felt like it's balanced me out as I've grown into an adult.
Many of you also understand that Eric and I have very different views of the world. I think the military has clouded his views (hee hee) and he thinks I'm just plain loopy some of the time. However, as I sat there this morning watching the speeches from last night I found myself emotional.
Not because a "democrat" was in office but because something amazing had happened. For the first time in a long time I felt like the nation could be united. Then I thought of Aiden and his friend Colby who happens to African American and I thought how blessed is Aiden to be raised in a country where the color of our skin won't limit us. I also felt proud to be an American and proud to know that I voted for him.
I know that some people reading this won't agree and I have close friends who are very "republican" but I hope that regardless who you selected yesterday that you take pride in knowing the accomplishment that was made.
We got our proofs back tonight for our family pictures. They turned out great. Aiden is so beautiful, took my breath away.

Aiden's first Halloween was a bit hit :) We went to my work and showed him off. Then we came home and went to a few houses with our friends Nanette, Patrick, and Mikayla. He had a blast!
We went Wed morning and had some family pictures taken. We have some friends that recommended a photographer Sara Boulter and she's truly amazing! She has a blog and gives her clients a sneak peek, she posted a picture of Aiden today....so cute! Can't wait to see the rest!
Make sure to check it out! So cute!!

We carved pumpkins tonight with Teri & Preston. Our lil human pumpkin wasn't a happy camper but it was cute anyway :)
I love Fall! We've had such a fun weekend :)
- Friday night we took Aiden to the pumpkin patch to pick out his first pumpkin. I think (I know) Eric and I enjoyed it far more than he did :) Stay tuned for the carving....
Happy Monday!
You know you've had a busy weekend when it feels good to sit at work and feel like you're relaxing! We got all moved and now the fun begins of unpacking. Everything went well with the move and we are enjoying the new house. Even lil Aiden is loving life. We bought him a high chair yesterday and it seems he loves being a big boy :)
Howdy Ho!!
This year is just flying by! I can't believe it's the end of September. So much has happened this week, lets see if I can cram it all in on this blog...
My friend Amber had her baby on Friday night, which also happens to be our Anniversary so it was a blissful day. Lily Marie Marolf is so beautiful! I wish I was there to hold her!
