Keira & Colt

We had dinner with our good friends last night and Keira & Colton had lots of fun with each other.  They ended the night with a hug. 

Special Visit

My parents came in to visit for just about a week.  It was so awesome to have them here spending time with us. Colton got to stay home from school and spend time with his "ma ma" & "pa pa" as he calls them.  He had lots of fun and Brian and I felt very lucky to have them here.  

The Turner's Annual Post-Hurricane Get Together

Last year, Hurricane Irene happened to interfere with a fun get together of my Kappa girls and our families.  We eventually pulled it off a few weeks after the Hurricane hit.  This year, Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast on a Monday, but since all of us seemed to fair pretty well in the storm, it didn't impact the weekend dinner that Katie & Andy had planned this past Saturday night.  Kimmie & Ryan came up from Baltimore with the girls (Sophia & Molly) and the newest addition, Liam. Devon & Tim joined in with Katie, Andy, and the boys (AJ & Will).  We missed Kelli & Eric as they had a family event they had to attend.  The kids had so much fun together and the food was fabulous as always.

Since Hurricane Sandy hit, Mr. Kenney's power had been out. He stayed over the one night for a sleep over, and we all carved our own pumpkins. Happy Halloween!

Halloween Parade

I know I talk about a lot of events in Colton's life that are special to me, but seeing him march in his Halloween Parade at school was by far one of my all time favorites.  Brian and I left work early and waited outside the Academy with all the other proud parents. Colton's class was the last group out, and he was all dressed up as "Fireman Sam" as he calls himself.  Brian and I were so excited and, like every parent, were snapping photos right and left. Once he caught a glimpse of us, he started to cry and I became part of the parade as I carried him the rest of the way.  It was lots of fun.
