It's official! We've moved in!

This post is late, I know, but better late than never, right? We started moving items in on 10/24, but spent our first official night with beds, tables, etc. on 11/6. Bryan actually missed rifle deer opener for the first time in 10 + years, but in retrospect, I think it was worth it. Almost a month has passed, and we are settling in nicely. We still have a few items at our duplex and also some large items in our storage unit, but for the most part, we can officially call our one-year labor of love
H-O-M-E!

Thanks to all who followed our journey for the past year. Our home and hearts are warm, and our door is always open to you.

We are thankful each day for God's blessings. He watched over us through this entire process, and never gave us more than we could handle. We look forward to making many great family memories in our home.

"GO BIKINGS"!

No, this post is not about the fun activity of biking, silly! It's about the Vikings! Ever since we watched the Vikings vs. Packers game on October 5th, Carter has enjoyed many a cheer that sounds just like this..."GO BIKINGS"! Got to love these special moments.

Halloween 2009

Halloween was so fun this year. Carter had a clue what it was all about and perfected "Trick or Treat" with little to no practice. We had a great time carving pumpkins. Carter wanted his to have a scary face, so I drew him 3 options on a piece of paper and let him choose which one he wanted his pumpkin to look like. He chose, we drew, cut, and revealed. He was NOT happy when his dad revealed his pumpkin and according to Carter "MINE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE SCARY ONE"! He then proceeded to whine about his not being scary enough. I told him I wasn't a plastic surgeon, and the face he chose would have to do until next year. He quickly got over it once we turned off the lights and admired our works of art.

Carter also enjoyed being a Baseball player this year and enjoyed Trick or Treating with is friend Ryan. We went to exactly 8 houses, and they were both ready to go home. It was PERFECT!
