Today our little family headed out to do a little shopping. While there Violet showed us what she wants for christmas. Perhaps we’ll let Santa know so he can put it under the tree.

Today Melissa and I spent the evening putting together Halloween bags for the kids of Jacob class. It seems so strange, its times like this that make me really think about how fast my little guy is growing up.

Today we spent the afternoon at a friends daughters first birthday party. It was a great day for a party and the kids even got a chance to play in the backyard. Not something usually expected for an October party.
