Life with my boys: What's been going on? Part two :)

This is part two. Sept-Feb ish :)

We went on a vacation in North and South Carolina and celebrated our sweet friend Martha and Luke getting married :)

We made new friends, Page and Stockton :)

Luke and Martha Habegger :)

And we got to see my cousin, his sweet wife and their adorable boys :)

Also in September ( I think) we went to a fun concert with our friends Chad and Rachel!

and of course had a sleepover with their diva girl, Janie :)

Afternoon tea with Adrienne and Emily

our friend Vanessa ( @www.flourishstudiophotography.com ) took some fun pics for us :)

I had a birthday somewhere in this space...but my computer died and Jason fixed it (praise The Lord:) but I can't seem to find my November pictures :( I did have a fantastic birthday though. I learned that birthdays for me are more about taking a moment to look around and celebrate the wonderful people in your life, than the number on your cake. This year as I looked around I realized there is not a luckier girl in the world. Drew put together a picture frame with pictures of all my closest friends and in the center he wrote, "There is no greater joy than being loved." That seems to sum up how I felt as I turned one year older. Very loved.

We also celebrated Thanksgiving with a lot to be thankful for. We were surrounded my good friends and yummy food...

Then we started celebrating Christmas... with The Graves :)

and with Jess, Mike and Ethan :)

We also spent Christmas with Drew's mom, brother and his wife...
can't find those pictures either? :(

Then off to KC to see these two (and their mom and dad :)

Next up...Adrienne's birthday!!

On January 10th we lost a dear friend.
My brave big brother did his best friend's funeral beautifully.

Got to see this pretty girl :)
It pains me to admit this, but she has a deep affection for her Uncle Drew.
It's cute except when she wants to snuggle with him instead of me!!! :)
