Carter Hill with the lil' boys

Nothing says "FALL" quite like an apple orchard in New England...complete with a pumpkin patch...cider donuts (Amazing!)..and the changing leaves. Beautiful!

I would like to add that my favorite part of this photo is Brogan's "Chick Magnet" shirt from Easter 2011. He'll hit a growth spurt soon...we think.

Picnicking with friends....

As summer comes to an end, we celebrated the last few days of freedom with our friends,

the Sutkus family. Dom, Cody, and Blake (and their parents) came over for dinner after church.

We have so much fun with these boys!

First Day of school 2012

Not sure who is more excited about the first day of school. The girls. Or the mom. I think it's the girls, but it's pretty close.

PS.....isn't it a touch crazy that they are 2 years apart but almost the exact same size? Cassidy is lamenting the fact that her younger sister will eventually be the taller little sister. I totally understand.

KK turns 8!

This is a big year for our sweet Missy KK! With all the craziness of school starting (on the 5th, the day after her birthday), we did some celebrating early. We plan to celebrate even more this Friday...and more again on Saturday. So there will be some picture updating soon. BUT, it was important that we acknowledge this important day in our young one's life. She is such a blessing to this family. We are looking forward to all the big things that will happen in her life over the next few years. Celebrating KK today...and every day! We love you!
