Oh, Grace!

Grace has gone from a girl who had NO hair her first 12 months of life to waking up to hair that looks like this. Yikes! It's a good thing for water and a brush...it does wonders on her bedhead.

Grace is definitely becoming more aware of going potty lately. She will run to the bathroom saying, "T, T!" So when we were at IKEA the other day I decided to pick up a practice potty. She is far from being potty trained and hasn't peed in it yet, but she has to start somewhere, right?

Fall!

This is my all time favorite picture. This walking/bike path is right around the corner from our house. I couldn't resist taking a few fall pictures of the kids walking under the canopy of changing leaves. I am finding my love of fall and all the beauty that surrounds us here in Germany. The best part is it's just the beginning of many more seasons to come.

Halloween Festivities

We started off our Halloween festivities with our annual pumpkin carving contest. Now is your chance to vote for the best carved pumpkin. (The names will be at the bottom of the page.)
We opted out of going trick or treating on base because we heard it is very crowded. So instead we went the trunk or treat route on Sembach where Jason works. It was perfect for our kids age and the best part was it was in the afternoon instead of the evening around bedtime. The kids had so much fun going to each trunk that was decorated to get candy. Aside from the cold afternoon wind, the kids loved it. I would say it was a great, successful Halloween!

I wanted to go the simple route with Grace and found this cute dress in clothes that were given to her. It looked pretty cute!

These are for you Yaya!

Well we couldn't get a video of the kids singing happy birthday to Yaya, so this little rendition will have to do. Happy Belated Birthday Yaya! We love you so much and can't wait to see you at Christmas time.

Gaga made these adorable capes for the kids. They absolutely love them! Thank you mom!

Happy Birthday Gaga! Have a special day today.

We love you and can't wait to see you real soon!
