OUR FIRST SNOW- December 5th

All bundled for the COLD!

Cate was so interested in watching the snow on Saturday, it amazes me to watch her. She stared so intently out the window, focused up at the sky. Her lips were pressed together and her brow was bent in wonder... then she touched it! Her smiled was priceless... here are a few pic's of her.

Thanksgiving in SC

Cate's first Thanksgiving was so much fun, not only did she get to spend it with both grandparents, she also got her first tooth! We were so happy that everyone made it down from NY safely and Uncle Roger, Christy and the kids could also make it. Kristen, Mikey, Jasmine and Matt also joined in for a wonderful dinner and TOO many pies to count! We have so many things to be thankful for this year and for years to come!

October 31- 2009

CATE TURNED OVER ON HALLOWEEN DAY! She will be crawling before we know it, she has the motions down, just isn't strong enough.

What a busy few weeks, my mom came down while Dustin went back to FLETC for training. We got to go to Myrtle last weekend and visit the rest of the family. We took Cate to the beach for the first time- which she loved! Once we got back from the beach, we have started to finish the rest of the house! YEAH, hopefully by Christmas we will have the basement fully finished, the floors done and a new counter top in the kitchen! We will keep our fingers crossed! WE send our love to everyone and hope that your fall has been as fun as ours has!
