On the Way Home

Hospital Visitors

Grandma and Grandpa Luthy arrived just in time!  We left our children with a babysitter on November 22nd in the evening to go to the hospital to be induced.  The Luthys arrived about a half hour after we left on an airport shuttle from Utah!  

Aaron Rex

Our sweet son -- Aaron Rex.  Born November 23rd...the day before Thanksgiving!
We've never spent the holiday filled with more gratitude!

Baby Shower in a Box

Grandma Franson sent us a darling "baby shower in a box".  The picture doesn't do it justice!  She sent games and decorations and presents!  She even sent a gift card for Dairy Queen so that we could get an ice cream cake -- a real luxury!  =)  It was the perfect thing to get us all excited and ready for our little guy to come!

Preparing for Winter

Our hard working men getting the yard ready for winter.  Nathan's "privileged moment" of trying the lawn mower for the first time.  May he always find this much joy in cutting the grass!

Three Weeks Left!

Nathan's Fall Soccer

An extra-fun soccer season for Nathan with two friends from the ward on his team -- Lena and Cooper.  One dad called Nathan the "stealth plane", always swooping in when the opposing team is getting the ball down the field and turning it back around.

Pumpkin Carving Collage

Pumpking carving can be almost as exciting as sugar cookies.  =) 
Theme of the year:  Angry Bird (and Pigs)

As we got word that the school costume parade was starting...I looked up and was suprised to find Joshua at the head of the parade doing his best "parade wave"!
