Sweet Ezra

This post has been a long time coming....sorry. As I have mentioned in a previous post, Jason and I gained two new nephews this year. Today I'm going to share about Ezra who joined us in October. You've seen a picture of Ezra in his pirate costume for Halloween, but I wanted to share some pictures that show him coming home and at home with his family.


This is the first time the whole family was together. There was a huge crowd at the airport when they arrived with little Ezra! It was a sweet moment.

One of my favorite moments was watching Will, who had been away from mommy and daddy while they were in China, hold on to his parents. Here he is with mommy.

Here's grandmommy holding Ezra for the first time. She got to hold three new grandsons this year!

These brothers are pretty cute together. Ezra acts like he's always been here and fit right into the family so easily. Will has taken on the role of big brother like he's been doing it for years. These two boys are so precious to me! Stay tuned for a post on my other new nephew, Carter!

Itsy Bitsy Spider

For those of you that know me pretty well, you know I L-O-V-E Halloween. So, it should come as no surprise that me and my little boy dressed up to go trick-or-treating (even though he's 7 months old and can't eat candy, mommy and daddy can......). Nana and Papa came into town to visit for the Halloween weekend and got to go with us to the Oaks Farm corn maze and pumpkin patch and then enjoy the Halloween festivities at my house later that night.

Halloween Morning!

Usually, my house is all decked out for Halloween, but this year I didn't have time to get all of my gear out and ready for all the cute little kiddos. I was too busy getting mine ready! My house always gets the kids going. They tell me every year that my house is spooky and some little children (and some not-so-little children) won't even come to the door because they're scared. Nice, I know. This year, I still got the compliments of having a cool house even though all the decorations weren't out (we had the bloody sheets, fog machine, strobe light, black lights, spider webs and scary music though).

Skyping with Aunt Jenny and Uncle James

The compliments on the house wasn't what got me hyped up this year though. The compliments that were given to my little boy were the highlight of the night. Everywhere we went, people stopped and pointed and said how cool his costume was. We even had neighbors run and get their camera to take pictures of Caleb. How fun. Well, you be the judge of how stinkin' cute this little spider is. I love him so much (and that's coming from a girl who can't stand spiders!)

Our first trick-or-treat house!
