First Snow!

We only got a little bit of snow but the kids sure were excited! This will be a fun winter for them living in a place where we will actually get snow. It snowed on Sunday morning and then more on Monday which was when is started to stick before warming up and melting. It was beautiful but they will be happy when they can make a snowman and some snowballs:) At least it was a good excuse to drink hot cocoa!

Orchard-Millard Thanksgiving

We were fortunate to have friends come visit for Thanksgiving this year. Matt, Megan, Sam and Luke Millard shared our Thanksgiving feast. Once we were sufficiently stuffed, we enjoyed some time at the park on an unusually warm day. We came back and vegged and ate some of Megan's yummy pie. Fun was had by all!

New Matthew Pictures

Matthew has grown and changed a lot over the last few weeks and is growing faster all the time it seems. He has started smiling and vocalizing now and is quite the cute little man. He was up to 10 lbs 8 oz and 22 inches long at his one month check up.

Super Baby!
