Happy Thanksgiving!

By now, most or all of you are prepping for a Thanksgiving meal. But just incase you have a moment to check your email, we wanted to wish each and every one of you a happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for you and blessed to call you friends and family.

The summer has flown by and we haven't remembered to post any updates for you!

Noah is still working on the P-8a Poseidon project with Boeing and the Navy here at Pax River. Some things have changed with his work, but all is generally the same. Noah is now on 2nd shift between Thanksgiving week and Christmas, which has been great. I get to sleep in and he gets more time with Judah. Perfect! Haha! It has been nice having him around in the mornings though. We seem to have a lot more family time this way.

I am still involved with the moms group and worship team at church. Staying home with Judah keeps me busy. Throughout the Summertime we've made it to several parks around the area, and found a great playground close to home (right next to the library!). In addition, we're looking forward to the moms group Christmas cookie decorating next week with the kids. That should be a blast!

Judah is always our main focus in these blog posts.... and he is doing great. He is growing and learning a mile a minute. We just had visits from both sets of grandparents recently, and they were blown away by his paragraph sentences! :) Judah is a little smarty pants, and has to figure everything out all the time. He is constantly analyzing things, or using his creative juices to do something new. We are learning that he has a very active imagination! Along with all of that, he is doing well with potty training (despite going through a very independent phase). It will be a while until he's fully trained, but he's been a trooper!

Here are some pictures from the past several months...

Watching the Cardinals win the World Series!

Visiting a local farm with the moms group and baking Halloween cookies for the trash guys (who always wave and beep at us!): http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2314055525595.2124358.1075628199&type=1&l=ba2de3d329


Trick-or-Treating: Although Judah didn't really enjoy the whole trick-or-treating experience in the dark (some kids had really scary costumes!), he did enjoy getting dressed up! http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2338166008342.2125135.1075628199&type=1&l=a54307fd76

Miscellaneous fun in November: We caught a huge grasshopper, and visited the EMS building and got to sit in an ambulance. The nice guy there even turned on the flashing lights for us!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, from our family to yours! We plan to be in town (WI and IL, and make a stop in STL) during Christmas/New Years. We hope to see you soon!!!

Love,
Noah, Krista and Judah
