Don't worry, they are not posing for me. They are watching TV. Duh Ryan!

I love the picture of Piper sucking her thumb. Although I don't like it, it is REALLY cute! She always sucks her left thumb but supports her left hand with her right. Piper is Grandpa Al's last hope for a lefty!

These pictures were taken exactly one week prior to the snow pictures. Tripp loved the leaves just as much as the snow. GG (great grandma) stopped by to see the kids. I don't know how many kids are lucky enough to have a GG like ours. She doesn't hesitate to get down on the floor and play with the kids, they all LOVE her!

This is the most recent "family pic" we have. This was taken at the pumpkin patch in October.

During Thanksgiving Break I had lot of time to think about all of the things that I am thankful for. We had taken Piper to Primary Children's for her echo and EKG. They found that her valve had gotten a little thicker but was still in the very mild range. They reiterated that if it continues to get worse, a stint will take care of it. Both Tripp and Piper were sick over the break which was no fun for them and not a whole lot of fun for Ryan or I either. These are such minor things when I look at the whole picture. I have been lucky enough to be blessed with two healthy, easy going, fun, loving, smart and super cute children! I have an incredible husband. I am really terrible at consistently showing him how much he means to me. I get so wrapped up in school, tripp and piper that he is often neglected. I couldn't have asked for a better husband or father to my children. I love everything about him. In my eyes he a kind, brave, hard working, determined man. I love you Ryan!
