What a crazy amount of rain we have had!!! We made it to the lake before the rain set in and the kids were just having a blast. It is amazing what effect the lake has on us - it is so relaxing there. The kids are doing great and really are outdoor children when the weather is nice!! Zoe has recovered great from her surgery and it's amazing that she is actually wanted to go back and visit her doctor. Connor is finishing up his soccer season and Logan is really loving her gymnastics class. Efie is recovering quite well from her hip surgery and getting back to her puppy self.

Zoe is recovering!!

What a whirlwind of a week!!! Zoe has been recovering quite well as the week has gone on! She still has the drain in and goes back to the doctor on Tuesday so who knows if it will come out then or not. She needs to be reminded now that she is no longer in pain to keep her body calm, which has become the latest challenge! Her 3rd cyst has disappeared as of Thursday evening so we are waiting to see if it reappears before the next visit to the doctor..... Enjoy the picture of her hanging out at the hospital last week

Snow came!!!

We got snow here and the kids just loved it!! First snow fall here all winter....lots of fun was had!

Check out the pictures!

Wow, it's flying by!!

I can't believe that it is already December 13th, where have the past few months gone! We are keeping extremely busy between swim meets for Connor which sometimes can last all day, the girls are real troopers on these days. We have settled nicely into our house and neighborhood, we absolutely love our neighbors and are glad we finally have some friends in the neighborhood to hang out with. The kids are anxiously waiting for the arrival of Santa but actually haven't been greedy in their asking. We hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!! (Note: the above picture captures the personality of Zoe to a tee)

We are thankful!!

What a great November we have had! It's been busy with swim meets and Connor's swim season is going really well. He swims up an age group so he swims 50 and is struggling but will definitely be competition next season. The girls are keeping busy with school, music class and gymnastics. We took a trip to the lake a few weeks ago, here are some pictures to show how pretty it is in the fall. We are thankful to be able to see all the great colors that the fall season has brought us.

She is growing fast!!

We can't believe how fast Efie is growing up....she gained 7 pounds in 3 weeks and the vet still says that she is underweight.....YIKES!!! She is doing great with the housetraining and now we are working on the wanting to chew everything in sight....the kids are quickly learning not to leave their things laying around. She is also doign quite well with the Invisible Fence as well. Enjoy the updated photo of her.....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Wow, it is hard to believe that November 1st is already here. Where has the time gone! The kids had a great time last night Trick or Treating in the neighborhood. My babysitter took the kids out as Brad is in Wilmington, NC during his half Iron Man. This year the kids were: Connor: Anakin from Star Wars, Logan: Gabriella from High School Musical and Zoe: a lion. They were all very cute! Hope you all had a great Halloween and enjoy the sugar high for the next few weeks :)
