Hello to you! Just leaving a quick note and wanted you to know we are still alive and well. Fortunately, life has gotten in the way :)
We hope everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving and wish we could be spending it with the rest of our family.
I am thankful for these three!

Halloween 2011
Halloween didn't go in any way that I had planned. I had spent the last month working on the boys costumes. I got the idea from various sites on the internet so I cannot take credit but I put everything together on my own. I love the way everything turned out and couldn't wait to show them off! Unfortunately, it rained the entire day. Besides the rain, it was freezing, probably in the low 50's. Looking back, I guess I could have taken the boys out but I didn't care to walk in the rain myself and be freezing.
However, everything worked out that night. One of my really good friends I made while at Bragg was moving...to Germany. It was their last day and they were going home first (Wisconsin) before they started their new journey. They were not allowed to leave until midnight and were hoping that they would have let them sign out early but they had no luck. I am very thankful that they (her and her two kids) hung out with us for the day and through the night. It was nice to hang out with her a little bit longer even though we knew we had to say our goodbyes eventually. We did get the kids together pretty frequently but I do wish we hung out more..I hate saying that after she has left! Anyway, we didn't do Halloween and the kids just ran out like manics and had some fun.
I had hoped to do Halloween the next night but the Army got in the way so I just put it off till the weekend. I had absolutely no interest in the whole trick or treating thing and I knew that Brady didn't either, I just wanted him to enjoy his new ride! So here we are..
Introducing Fire Chief Busonick and his sidekick Brendan, the Dalmatian :)
We went on a short stroll yesterday and Brady just loved it. I'm pretty sure he didn't get the whole fire truck thing but pleased he was in the wagon! It was Brendan's first time too and he seemed to enjoy the scenery!
After chasing Brady up the hill and carrying him inside while he kicked and screamed, we attempted at pictures of them together..
Brady wanted no part in it but sweet Brendan was looking as cute as ever!
...the best one I got of both.
Maybe next year will be better!
