Lately...

Happy Belated Veterans Day! We are so thankful for the men and women who serve and have served our country. We are honored to display the American flag in your honor.

A sweet couple from our church exchanged wedding vows earlier this summer in a small front yard ceremony with just close family and friends. Patty and Jim wanted to have a fun-filled celebration/reception with more family & friends and we celebrated in style. They had a barn dance and BBQ. We had a blast! All the pictures were taken by our good friend Lauren with the exception of the last two. Thanks LES! By the way, who looks better in the cowboy hat Greg or Allison?

How sweet is this!

Twice a year Gabby's ballet class allows parent viewing. I was able to go and take pics and video of her. She is enjoying her time in ballet and is doing so well.

Fall in Oil City, PA

Oil City, PA is where Greg was born and raised. We went back in October to attend the funeral of his Uncle and be with family and friends. This was the kids first experience of a northern fall. The trees were magnificent! Here are some pictures we captured of Alex playing in the leaves of this beautiful tree with his Grandpa Davis.

Happy 5th Birthday Matthew!

What a birthday it was...let me start out by saying that we received news from Greg's relatives that his Uncle Joe passed away on Monday (10/19) morning. We decided to drive up to PA to celebrate Uncle Joe's life and be with family. So, Tuesday afternoon the day before Matthew's birthday we gave him the one gift we could not travel with, a bike. It's black and red and he loved it! Gabby assisted and ran the whole circle with him. Unfortunately, his time on the bike was short. We headed out that evening for PA.

Birthday morning we woke in VA and had a celebratory breakfast at Bob Evans. Matthew had pancakes and French Fries. Hey, it was his birthday french fries are one of his favorites. The wait staff placed a candle in the pancakes and sang happy birthday. He was thrilled! Thanks Bob Evans!

Instead of a pit stop at a gas station, we saw this John Deer Dealer and decided to get some pics of Matthew with some tractors. He had a blast on the big tractors and the little ones. That was a fun pit stop!

Thursday in PA Greg's parents surprised Matt with a Steelers cake and presents.

Sunday we arrived home and Monday we decorated the kitchen table (like we do for every ones birthday) and celebrated Matthew's birthday with more gifts. He did have a well check-up that afternoon and received 3 shots along with the flu mist. He handled it all like a champ. We surprised him with dinner at Sneakers and his birthday cake from Publix. He picked it out all by himself and could not wait to have it on his birthday.

Tuesday we surprised Matt again with a trip to the CAT machine store and one more gift. A Steelers jersey. Whew! It felt like the 12 days of Matt's birthday. We enjoyed celebrating our little guys big day many times over. We are blessed with such a funny & spirited young boy.
