It's a Happy Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown!!
I was thinking back to the days of when I was a young girl at thanksgiving time and how our family would watch the thanksgiving day parade and gorge themselves on turkey and all the trimings (we missed the parade this year but still ate all that good food). We would also watch the peanuts. There was a great lesson to be learned when one would watch the peanuts and I got this out of it: family is a key support system and I am so thankfull for the family and friends that support and love us so much. To those of you we did not see on this day, we look forward to seeing you soon, we miss you and are very thankfull for you...you mean so much to us. Chloe enjoyed seeing everyone and had a good 1st thanksgiving (and I give a big THANK YOU to our Lord for her). Below you will see Nate holding Chloe, along with Gma Kris, Great Gma Marge and Gpa Tom in the background and you will also see around the thanksgiving table Gpa Tom, Great Gma Marge, Chloe, Nate, Gma Kris, Great Uncle Bob, Karen and Stew Wilson (I am taking the photos). We pray you all had a wonderful thanksgiving.

Family Fun
Grandpa Dan and Grandma Julie came for a visit last week. It was so fun to see them!! We went Christmas shopping (I am so glad to be done so early) and relaxed and enjoyed the company. I shared some cute moments below...

Guitar
Nate brought out his guitar and music for us to play and sing for Chloe. This brought back so many good memories for us of our college days at UCSB when we were involved with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship or Gaucho Christian Fellowship (GCF). Santa Barbara will always have a special place in my heart because it is not only where I went to college, but it is where I found good friends and fellowship, where I met and fell in love and got engaged to my future husband, and where we spent the first year of our marriage. Nate lead worship the year I joined GCF (I was a sophmore). It just so happens that he kept all the music that they played during our friday night worship nights and he even had notes of some of the friday night line up of events that occured. It was fun to reminisce. We wanted to share this music, worship, with Chloe and she really liked it!! She was cooing and making fun screaming sounds while he was playing. Jack found his new spot in the guitar case and I thought it was so cute that I had to take a photo of it and share it with you.

Playdate
Melanie brought her daughter Mekenzie, six weeks younger than Chloe, over to play last week. The dads went out ATVing while the moms visited at our house and the girls played. Below you will see a few photos of Chloe and Mekenzie, and one of the two dads (Michael is Mekenzie's dad) after coming back from their ATV fun.

Halloween
Chloe's first Halloween went off without a hitch!! We missed daddy though, Nate had to work late. We had a lot of fun trick or treating with Gpa Tom, Gma Kris, Cousin Hope, and Uncle Gordon (I came along too!!) Chloe was an adorable Minnie Mouse and Hope was a beautiful Snow White. We started at my sisters house with taco soup for dinner. Then we took photos, some of which I have published below, and went out trick or treating. Chloe was so excited to see all the kids and all the action that was going on around her. It was a real "treat" to watch her!! My sis stayed behind to man the candy at their house while the rest of the gang went around the hood to trick or treat. I also published two photos below the Halloween photos that I have been meaning to publish for some time now. You will see Chloe standing and sitting all by herself, just some of her newest accomplishments. She is six months old now and what a big girl doing all these new things!! We are having the time of our lives with her:). We pray that you all had a fun and safe Halloween.
