Day 334

Today we left Tennessee and stopped at a Christmas tree farm on the way home.  Here is a photo of me and JC by our tree.  Emma really wanted to take photos with the big camera.  Love Brendan photobombing the shot!

Day 331

Today is Thanksgiving Eve!  We drove to Gatlinburg, TN this afternoon.  We had clear skies until we got to Asheville, and then the snow started.  It was a little scary at times driving on I-40 in the Pisgah National Forest.  It took us almost an hour longer than we had planned, but we finally made it!  We have an amazing log cabin where we will celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow.  This is our view off the back deck:

Amazingly this is not a black and white photo…it just looks like one!

Day 323

Lazy late afternoons…

this little one still loves her blanket and her thumb…although she is chronologically too old for that thumb, it is still a huge comfort for Emma.  i'm just letting it go for a little longer.  she is after all the baby, and unfortunately, she will be forced to grow up all too soon.

Day 322

Today was a gorgeous fall day…75 degrees and blue skies.  I wish we could bottle that weather up.

Tonight, JC grilled, and we enjoyed a nice fire as the sun went down.  Not a bad Monday after all!

Day 316

We saw our first snow today.  This photo does not do it justice.  It only snowed for a few minutes and then was back to rain.

I will take sunny, blue skies any day over snow though!

DAY 314

This weekend was Jackson's last soccer tournament of the fall season.  His team lost their first two games, but they were able to end the season with a win.  I am proud of Jackson and the way he played today.  It has been a rough start, but I am looking forward to how this team can grow in the spring.

Day 311

I have been wanting to do a "glitter" picture with Emma for a while.  Today was just a practice round.  It's amazing how it takes just the right amount of air forced out to make the glitter fly in a pretty pattern. Maybe one day we will get it right!

Day 309

Today is the 50th day of school!  Emma's teacher asked that the kids dress for the 1950s today!  I made this skirt last night in about 15 minutes (as you can tell) using an old princess costume, felt, ribbon and hot glue!

One more from the Tough Mudder…too busy tonight in real life to take more photos!

This is the very last obstacle called "ElectroShock Therapy".  It knocked me down face first in the mud and then I had to crawl out!  It hurt, but not as much as the arctic enema!

Day 307

Last night I posted the "after" photo from Tough Mudder Charlotte 2013.  Just to put into perspective how muddy we got, here is the "before" photo!

It was such a great bonding experience!  I am so glad that JC talked me into trying something like this.  It definitely pushed me way beyond my comfort zone.  

To date, Tough Mudder has raised over 6.5 million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project!!!  

OOH RAH!!!
