we had a lovely thanksgiving last week with our family at my parents' house. my mama went all out cooking a delicious feast. we stuffed ourselves and have been enjoying leftovers for days! believe it or not, i didn't take many photos and the ones i took didn't turn out so great, but at least we have a few to look back on since it was noah's first thanksgiving!
love, laurie

ryan was brushing his teeth the other day and noah was very intrigued by the electric toothbrush. he even held it while it was vibrating to "brush" daddy's teeth! our little dentist in training!
ryan jokingly calls noah linus since he is always cuddling his burp cloths. too cute!

you know what time of year it is . . . all i have to say is pray for us!

happy thanksgiving from this cozy little turkey! we're looking forward to having the day off from nutcracker tech/rehearsals today to celebrate thanksgiving with our families! we're almost as exhausted as noah from all of this nutcracker work.
have a lovely thanksgiving

one of the many changing-table snapshots that we send to dad while he's at work.

this little cuddle bug melts my heart when he smiles while sleeping in my arms. so adorable!

this little bear cub makes so many different faces throughout the day. he's so adorable and photogenic! he was especially cute recently in this adorable outfit that his uncle jeremy, aunt stephanie, cousin davis, and cousin grant bought him!
i love how leko can get all curled up into the tightest little ball of fur! he's so adorable!
this guy is too cute swinging in his "mom-a-roo" while munching on a wash cloth and staring up at the goofy balls on the top of the mom-a-roo. too cute.
love, laurie
who needs a security system when you have a watch kitten?! leko is always in control of what's happening around the perimeter of the house.

the past few weeks have had days here and there with unseasonably warm weather. we try our best to take advantage of those days and go for little walks. noah tried out his bug net over his stroller on a recent walk. he really enjoyed his nap in the fresh air!
love, laurie
while mom and dad work shows at the theatre, noah plays with his grandmas in mom's office. i love seeing little update photos like this from grandmas! little man is hard at work on the conference table!
love, laurie
i peeked into the bedroom the other day and saw leko's behind hanging off the foot of the bed as he was looking out the window. he's so cute, but i was concerned that he didn't fall off! i was caught in the act of snapping a picture . . .
this guy is so cute after he gets a bath. he is always so happy to get dried off in his little hooded towel. what a cute squeaky clean baby!
love, laurie
on friday we welcomed the "E5C4P3" journey tribute band back to our theatre. every time they are here, they are great. the audience loved the band. you can see more of my photos from the show on the theatre's facebook page here.

my sweet little man and i went on a walk recently. we bundled up and enjoyed the nice fall air as we strolled around the block. what a sweetie!
love, laurie
sometimes noah is a fan of tummy time and sometimes he's not. last week i snapped this picture during tummy time and had to giggle at the puss on his face. he was not a fan that day. poor guy!
love, laurie
halloween 2022 was a fun one! ryan decorated the house and we put out our pumpkin decorations around the house. we dressed up noah for his first halloween as a little pineapple, and we dressed up as hawaiian tourists with our little pineapple!
our parents came up to celebrate too. we had pizza for dinner and then some yummy pumpkin squares and ice cream sandwiches for dessert.
we handed out candy to the trick-or-treaters who came to our door. all together we had 137 trick-or-treaters this year! it was a fun halloween.
