Happy Veteran's Day!

We are praying for peace as we honor the men and women who have serve and currently serve in our Armed Forces. We especially remember our friends who are currently overseas--CPT Jared Williamson, SFC Joe Ball, CW1 Carl Schimpf, SSG Jamie Christianson, and SGT Chris Lautenslauger--and our friends and family who served overseas this year--Daddy, AWF2 Jon Bennett, SFC Michael Cade, CPT Emmanuel Easterling, CPT Mandy Zelnick, CPT Matt Greb, CPT Jessica Tomazic, LTC Erica Clarkson, LTC Amy Trevino, LTC Kerrie Golden, SSG William Seeley, SGT Mark Mansanarez, and CPT Bradley Ritland. We also honor our family members who served before us. THANK YOU!

Crawling...

It's a good thing Daddy put the baby gate up on Sunday night!

Cousins

We don't get to see our second cousins very often, but this weekend everyone was together except Wesley and Aaron.

Nathan and Emma

Nathan and Jocelyn

The whole gang (Ally, Emma, Evan, Elsa, Noelle, Nathan, and Tyler). It is HARD to get a picture of all these moving parts! I believe this is right before Evan hopped up to the cameras on his knees.

This is what happens at dinner when I don't take a nap.

Happy Halloween!

Just a little further... Got it! Now if I could only get the wrappers off.

Okay. They're all sorted. It could take hours to decide which one to eat!

Max Robert "Bob" Waldburger March 6, 1924 - October 31, 2010

Great Grandpa passed away this morning. We will have lots of stories to share with the boys of someone who is truly a person to emulate. We hope Evan will appreciate the legacy of the man he was named after. We will really miss him. Evan's 3 year old wisdom should be a comfort to all of us. When told of his great grandpa's passing he said, "We can't see him anymore. We can only see him in our hearts."

Boo at the Zoo

It was a wet day at the zoo, but it seems that is our destiny. (Our last two attempts at the "Big Zoo" have resulted in detours to the Aquarium and the Museum of Flight due to rain.) The rain didn't wash away our fun, though. Evan put out the fires that Elsa, oops! I mean our fire-breathing dragon, set. You can probably check Elsa's blog for more pictures. Mom's camera battery ran out of juice early in the day.

Halloween Torchlight Parade

We were at Grandma and Grandpa's on just the right weekend. The local Halloween torchlight parade was hosted by the fire department. My costume, which we just happened to have with us, was a hit!

P.S. Elsa, please join us next year!

We love the giggles in this one!

Touchdown!
