Giving Thanks

We are so thankful that Cassidy had a "scratch" test at the Allergist, and some of her tree nut allergy is going away. We can start introducing almonds and coconut. This is great news for her and our family. Her whole life she has had to read labels and watch what she eats. I didn't realize how trapped she felt until the other day we shopped a bit and bought almond milk, and she had a piece of carrot cake(that had coconut in it). It is a new found freedom for her, and we are happy for her.

And... we are off to DISNEY LAND. The kids have never been... NEVER. N and I both did the family thing about 25 years ago.. so we are off on an adventure.

Cake Bites

Big N is having a birthday. His 37th. He wanted cake bites. I asked him to show off his new running watch in these photos. He is being silly, but I sure do love him.

Halloween Recital

Cassidy has the best piano teacher. We love Teacher Mari. Mari had a Halloween recital this year instead of Christmas.(love it!) The songs were so fun, a few from Pirates, and some from Nightmare before X-mas. Cassidy played "It is Halloween" from Nightmare before Xmas. Of course there were the oldies but goodies, Halloween Cat, The Adams Family and the Siamese Cat song. Cass has been taking lessons for a year and was able to play her piece without her book of music. Grandpa and Grandma Gee came, as well as Nate's parents and sister Stacey. Coby was there too(he made the honor roll today!). Genny, Annalynn and Aunt Marian came as well.

Halloween 2011

Shan has invited us to the town business trick or treating a few years in a row, last year it was a down pour of rain. We made it this year, the weather was so nice. The kids had a great time. Cassidy felt  grown up walking around with her cousins and friends. Then she had a meeting planned for neighborhood trick or treating with her friend West. I wish Coby liked Halloween as much as the rest of the family.Maybe we can come up with something one of these years to make him want to be involved.
