Odds and Ends

Well, I have been slacking off in my blogging. Our time here is far too quickly coming to a close. And it is bittersweet, for sure. But more of that for another post....

On Halloween this year, Madeline finally lost her first tooth! I tried to get a good picture of her smiling so you could see it, but since the tooth behind it is already growing in, it is kind of hard to see. The tooth right next to it is loose too, so that one may be soon to follow. Scott still has all teeth intact, but two loose.


And the weekend of Halloween, I mentioned our good friends, the Johnson's, came to stay with us for a visit back to Ithaca. It was so much fun having them here! We got all 10 of us in our apartment for about 3 days. Luckily, we love their family and had a blast the entire time they were here.

The kids all played so well together, and the adults even got to play a game of Cities and Knights (Settlers) together after the kids got to bed. We are going to miss them loads when we move across the country from them too.


One other new event in our life, Scott and Madeline got their first report cards and I had my first parent teacher conference for them. They are doing great in school, and I am so sad to take them away from their friends and teachers. We have had such a good experience with the school here. Yet one more thing we will miss.:)
And one more thing that is noteworthy, Dave and I celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary yesterday. To celebrate, we went out to see Harry Potter on Friday night, and then, last night, out to a restaurant Dave has wanted to try for the last two years. We have AWESOME friends who watched our kids for us while we went out. It is hard to believe we have been married 11 years already. I am so thankful for the 11 wonderful years we have had together and for the beautiful family we have. Dave really is my best friend and is the best father and husband I could ask for.:)
