Trip

California here we come!  This was taken at the airport before our first flight of the day to see Ashley/Scott/Nana D.  It was probably 5:00 am ish.  Early flights make for a very looong day!

Autumn Adventure

Once again the boys had a blast at this event.  It is a family event put on by Caterpillar and a fun day was had by all.  Lucas was all bundled up in the front pack or the stroller - next year he will have some fun too! 

Lake Festival

A few pictures from carnival rides at the festival in Ohio

Visits

We were lucky to be able to stop on our way home and see Jennifer while she was at work!  So glad we were able to see her even for a bit.  It was great for her to meet Lucas – he really energized the office with his cries! 

 Also were able to have lunch with Aunt Terri!  So good to see you and introduce you to Lucas.

Mackinac Bridge

Family picture before we left the UP.  I would love to do this every year!  Thanks Dad for taking the picture in the rain. 

The Dunes

The weather up north this summer was fantastic.  We were able to get in Lake Michigan and it was comfortable!  We had lots of fun at the beach playing in the sand. 

Watering

The boys loved to help Nana water her garden!

Generations

Lucas meeting Great-Grandpa Rahilly for the first time!  

Thank you Nana for helping CJ be in the picture! 

Castle Golf

We went miniature golfing while up north too.  Castle golf has been around awhile now!

 Lucas is under the blanket - really he is!  We did not want him to be in the sun. 

Baseball Time

Baseball in the yard is always fun!

School Day Pictures

Here are a few pictures from the morning of the first day of school for CJ!

Zoo

 We were able to get away for the weekend and went to St. Louis for some fun activities.  Below are pictures from the zoo there.

Happy 8th Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary Tyler!  In eight years we have lived in two states and two houses,  have been through three companies with different jobs, and have had lots of fun adventures, but the best part is that we have been blessed with three amazing boys!  I love you and look forward to many more years of wedded bliss!

Hiking

We went on a hike when my Mom was still here with us.  Here are a couple pictures from the hike.

Lucas slept through his first hike!

Coming Home

This was the day we came home as a family of five!

All settled into the van for our ride home.

Our sweet boy!

Thanks Dad for the decorations to celebrate Lucas!

Hospital Photos

A few pictures from when we were in the hospital when Lucas was born.

This was in the recovery room right after Lucas was born.

Nana and Papa K with Lucas.  Thank you Mom for staying the nights with us!

 Nana D with Lucas.

The boys meeting their little brother for the first time. 

This was the fave activity when the boys did visit at the hospital - playing the tablet and the kindle.

Up North

We had a great visit in February when we visited my parents up north.  The boys had a fun time when we explored out on the snow and ice.
