Halloween 2013

 Our Halloween turned out to be a pretty dreary, rainy day, so our church's Trunk or Treat was moved inside into the fellowship hall.  Nobody really seemed to mind, and we still had a great turnout!

The day before Halloween, the 2 big boys and I went trick-or-treating to some of the local businesses with Joshua's preschool class.  What fun!  That morning, Josh had his costume on by 6:30...he was SO excited!  We rode a hayrack all around town.  The kids got way too many treats...we will probably be sending some along with Daddy to youth group next week so Momma & Daddy don't eat them all, haha!

 After lots of fun trick-or-treating, we ended our Halloween by watching Joshua's new favorite movie, Monsters University.  Hope you had a Happy Halloween!

Kaleb's First Halloween

 This is the first year I've had a "tiny" baby to dress up for Halloween...what fun!  And the adorable kid helps, LOL.

  I know I've been MIA from the blogging world for a while now...I have no idea what happened to the month of October.  I've thought about blogging numerous times, but I really don't have much to say.  So, for now, you're going to have to put up with blog posts that consist of mostly pictures and very few words.  I know you'll hate that!  ;-)  My goal is to keep up better during the month of November...we'll see how that goes, haha!

Cutest little punkin!  

We have had a wonderful, whirlwind weekend, starting with Halloween celebrations, then Luke's birthday party, and today, Kaleb's baptism.  Thank you, friends and family who joined us this weekend!  We are so blessed...blog posts of those events coming your way in the next few days!  Hope you had a terrific weekend as well!

Love and blessings,

M, K, JJ, LB & KN

Great-Great Grandma Rozendaal

 This is actually from a couple weeks ago, but on our whirlwind trip (23 hours!) to Iowa and back, we stopped to visit my great-grandmother.  Kaleb got to meet his Great-Great Grandma Rozendaal for the very first time!

Unsolicited Mothering Advice

I absolutely loved this article.  All you mommas out there, I hope you will, too.  Happy Monday!

Lovely Autumn

We have been LOVING this beautiful fall weather, and trying to take advantage every chance we get!  It's tough, though, now that it's getting dark so early.  We have to plan accordingly and try to get outside between the time the boys wake up from their naps and dinner time; otherwise, it won't happen!  Yesterday afternoon, we headed to the neighborhood playground so the boys could run off some steam!

 Little Man obviously found the park very entertaining.

 

This is my new favorite photo of JJ...look at the sparkle in those eyes!

Enjoy this beautiful Friday!

4 Weeks!

I just can't wrap my brain around the fact that our sweet little man is 4 weeks old today!  The past month has been a whirlwind!

Just as our other boys were, Kaleb is a dream baby.  He is usually very content.  In the 4 weeks since we brought him home, we have really only had one terrible night of sleep, and I'm pretty sure that was due to what Momma ate for dinner.  :-/  A little gripe water and watching what I eat and he's back to his happy self!

 His little cheeks have really filled out in the past week or so.  Love us some chubby baby cheeks!  :-)  

This week has been crazy busy and I am so happy tomorrow is Friday and Mike will be home...bring on the weekend!  Have a good one, friends!

Love,

Krys
