JMac's Kindergarten Thanksgiving feast day

What a handsome little Indian. And I actually made that costume.

The three musketeers: Josh, Alex, and JMac. They are also all three on the same soccer team.

All the boys in his class - cute!

JMac and his beloved (by us ALL) teacher Ms. Jan. She has got to be one of the greatest Kindergarten teachers in the history of the world! We love her!!!

Pics from Jesse's 1st birthday (11-29-08)

So I'm finally getting these posted.


Here's our family pic - so sweet. We are sooo blessed!!



Since we live so far from home, we thank God so much for our dear friends, Richard and Linda Kempf. They are more than just the dear friends that we've known the entire time we've lived in TN (our first house was right beside theirs!); we even call them are our kids' "TN grandparents." We get to see Linda at least once a week - usually two or three times, so she is so special to our kids (and us)! She's like a second mom to me in many ways. And yes, Grammy and Granna, you all three give me almost the exact same advice! I'm so blessed to have such wise women in my life! Here's a couple of sweet pics of Jesse and the Kempfs...
