Miriam's 2nd Birthday!

Here are pictures from Miriam's birthday which was November 4. We can't believe our baby girl is 2 years old already!

Fall/Halloween 2013

Here are some pictures from this fall. We enjoyed a warm fall. Neal has had to travel a lot out of the country the past couple months. We're hoping his travel will slow down a bit this winter.

Josiah & his sword that he made. He was being Puss in Boots from Shrek. Miriam remains at a safe distance from Puss in Boots. :)

We had such a fun time with Grandma when she came to visit us in October.

Heading into the YMCA for trick or treating while mommy exercised. We had a rainy & windy Halloween.

Josiah passing out candy to the few brave kids who went out trick or treating in the wind storm. He had so much fun handing out candy. He kept complementing kids on their costumes. Miriam was upset that the kids didn't come inside to play with her. :)
