We are Thankful!

Thanksgiving 2008 was great. We are so thankful for all of our blessings, friends and family. We had the perfect size group over for dinner. Quincy's friend Deacon and his parents along with our friends Mike and Lisa and Quincy's grandma, Elnetta. The food was good and plentiful and we topped it off with a yummy dessert.

Quincy loved having his Grandma at his house! He didn't let her out of this sight....that was until Deacon got here anyway! Then they ran around the house and did some wrestling...oh boy! And of course, Quincy had to start the age old tradition of sticking olives on his fingers!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Election Night 2008

We are still flying high from Obama's win this week! What a blessing to see him win so soundly with no drama. Hallelujah!

We watched the results come in with friends and then rushed home to watch his speech with our neighbors and Quincy's godmother, Bethany.

Quincy ran around all night with this huge American flag balloon that is now in our living room. Doesn't look the air is going out of it anytime soon!

Here we are when it finally hit us that he won!



It was wonderful to share this historic night with people we love and who are equally as excited about what the future holds.

Halloween 2008

Wow, there are so many fun things to do for Halloween! The pumkin patch, pumpkin carving, making carmel apples, campaigning....yes, I did say campaigning because thats what we did for Halloween. Introducing the next President of the United States, Barack Obama!

Yes, thats right everyone, Quincy was Obama for Halloween and he became quite the celebrity! We had perfect strangers asking for photos of him! Here are a few more pics of him in his costume. We paid a visit to the campaign office too where we got to take a picture with the real Barack Obama.....

Before Halloween we did our pumpkin carving and carmel apple making. And on Halloween morning we took a craft class with Quincy's friend Ruby! Here are some more photos.
