End of 2017 1

We visited my family at the end of November for Thanksgiving and at the end of our visit, we drove a few hours further South for Stephen to preach in view of a call and he was called as pastor of Ehrhardt, SC! The end of 2017 was cherishing our last 6 weeks or so in Birmingham, AL (the place we had called home for about 6 years) by seeing friends and visiting some of our favorite places, a long weekend in Gatlinburg as a family, and celebrating Christmas. Here are some of the highlights in pictures. 

Fall Photos

I've gotten pretty decent at capturing some good photos of our boys on our camera, but for my birthday I asked for the gift of a family photo shoot (it had been over a year) to get some photos of the whole family which are much harder/impossible for me to capture myself. We finally got around to having them done in the fall and there was a local photographer doing sessions in a cotton patch. They turned out really nice and we captured the boys at about 2.5, 4.5, and 7.5! Here are a few of my favorites.

We could not get all three to cooperate for the group brother photo!

Halloween Costumes

This year the boys chose to dress like a Lego Policeman (James), Bunga the Honey Badger from Lion Guard (Jude), and Joah was Blaze from Blaze and the Monster Machines. I always like to take pictures on my actual camera a day or two before the first event because they are alway too excited the night of the actual event. This year we wore the costumes to Trunk or Treat at Church, Boo at the Zoo, and Chickfila for free kids meals on Halloween Night.
