...elections & babies!

there is one thing elections and pregnancies have in common...

you cannot wait for them to be over!

we were excited to take paige to vote (although we were just dropping off our absentee ballots) and even more excited when she got her own "i voted" sticker! it is never to early to teach kids to vote! even though the elections did not turn out in our favor on all accounts- we were glad to see so many people vote this year, glad to see such a historical event take place & honestly...glad to see the whole thing end. has this campaign lasted forever or is it just me? also, i got to see our little baby moving around the yesterday. it is still such a miracle to me when you see that little tiny life moving around inside of you. i know it is there- but since i have not felt it yet i almost forget. everything seems to be going well with baby...here are a few of the pictures! enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

paige was a little lamb- so cute. i decided to take a little video of her walking too...i've had a few requests. enjoy!

a few weeks ago we got to go up to Shaver Lake with our life group (small group/bible study- whatever you want to call it) and spend a fun weekend lounging, playing games & just hanging out. we stayed in a beautiful home that belongs to a family at our church- they were gracious enough to let us stay there for free! so fun.
