Thanksgiving

Yay!  Uncle Jason is in town!

17 years and counting

This was the drawing Ethan gave us for our anniversary.  That's daddy holding the ring and me saying "yes."  I think the actual size of my ring was a bit smaller than what's pictured. Chris and I had a nice overnight at a hotel downtown thanks to both grandmas helping out with the kids.  No one got sick or had to go to the ER while we were gone so that was an added bonus.  Ethan got to sleep between both grandmas in our king size bed.  He was in heaven!

Halloween

Fall Festivities

Mom and I at our fall church ladies brunch

Miles the dog.  He lives at the hotel we stayed at in Brown County

Meagan and Sydney sharing soup and feeding eachother like old married couples at the Hob Nob

We called this Brown County trip "Brown County lite".  We got our second foster placement (a 2 year old boy) about a week before our fall break trip.  We decided to go ahead with the trip and bring him with us.  It was still fun to be together but no family pictures in the park, no horseback riding and very minimal shopping.  I probably didn't need any more knick-knacks anyway!

Kaili's 16th.  This crew is growing up so fast!

Homecoming 2016

Apple orchard

See the infant car seat in the wagon behind Chris and Ethan?  That's Meagan's robot baby that she was assigned for the weekend.  Had to take it with her wherever she went and it looked very life-like.  The car seat with the doll in got quite heavy after awhile so we stuck it in this wagon and threw a blanket on top.  The seat got jostled around pretty good as we haphazardly pulled it threw the orchard. We got some looks lol!  Surprised no one called CPS on us!
