November 2017

November is always full of fun family traditions from playing in our bright yellow ginkgo leaves...

...to hunting during rut...

...to having our Life Group Fall Fest event...

...to our trio-birthday celebration...

...and finally daily adding to our 'Thankful Tree'

Speaking of being thankful...
Frank is without a doubt the most hard-working, dedicated, and servant-hearted man I know.
He is a grand slam of a husband, father, and friend.

Thankful for cousin-time with Henry and Oliver!

Nov. 15th
Hannah turned 4

Nov. 20th
Benjamin turned 6

All dressed up for Palladio's Christmas open house

When you have a girl's night out you eat at IKEA then find a living room set you like with a comfy couch and watch HGTV : )

One of my favorite pics from November

Our little nugget turned two months and started giving us sweet smiles

I caught her first smiles on camera when we were visiting with Mamaw and Papaw

Blessed to be in her great-grandmother's arms

Sister Love <3

When did this kid grow up?!

Hannah and her friend Lydia at the Zoo

Judah moved into his "big boy" bed on the bottom bunk. Benjamin is excited to now have a boys room.

Benjamin finished his goal of reading all 18 BOB books. (Bethany enjoyed listening)

He was awarded a trophy which he had been working toward this fall.
You should have seen his BIG smile : )

Thanks Bellevue for the wonderful family picture!

October 2017 **Top 10**

****October 2017 Top 10****

Beautiful fall day at the Botanic Gardens with friends

Bethany has been "go with the flow" this month - mostly by necessity being #4. 
She is just the sweetest and reminds us a lot of Hannah when she was a baby. 

These two love being the big brother and sister

Bethany, you are loved!

6 Weeks and (almost) 6 Years
Such great friends!

Hannah dresses up every day...not just on Halloween

*Captain Judah*
He is starting to become less toddler and more of a little boy.

Frank's first deer of the year and Benjamin got to be with him in the stand

Love spending time with these ladies! We had a fun time laughing at each other playing Speak Out. Here we are all wearing the ridiculous mouth pieces : )

Can't believe my baby girl is almost four!

Halloween 2017
The kids had fun trick-or-treating with our neighbors

A big thanks to my parents for coming to Memphis for a week to help take care of the kids (and me) while we adjusted to life with Bethany

Benjamin (5.5 years)
I love his creativity

Hannah (3.5 years)

Thankfully Bethany loves being in the wrap so I can still get out with the kids during the morning

Family evening playing at the River Park downtown

Lord willing, our new property, Quonset Studios, will be fully operational and rented out within the next month!

Proud big brother

Hannah adores Bethany and says they are best friends forever

Judah has been very protective of his little sister

Chillin' in Grandy's arms

When you have a brother who wants to steal your paci you have to hold onto it tight and sleep with one eye open - lol

Caught a smile

Bethany you are loved by so many! 
We can't wait to watch you grow up.
