Zoo Boo!!

Earlier this month we were able to enjoy our yearly tradition of meeting Lacy, Melvin and the boys for an afternoon of fun at Zoo Boo at the Indianapolis Zoo. Grayson was Captain Hook and Oliver was the cutest Peter Pan. Emmy got to wear her Rapunzel costume which made her SO happy!! They sure looked cute and had a ball together!

Trick-or-Treat!

We had such a fun Halloween! We started off the night with Colt's 5th birthday party and had so much fun getting to see everyone, including the twins! They spent most of the night away from all the noise, but Emmy loved watching them sleep. After the party, we headed home to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood, which was awesome! We then headed home to pass out a little candy and visit with Grammy & Gramps. By the end of the night, we were all exhausted! Happy Halloween Everybody!

Our little Rapunzel :)

The twins arrive!!

Such exciting news!! Last night, on Oct 23, Whitney & Justin welcomed into this world two more precious little boys: Beau Baker Strange and Judd Albert Strange! Colt is such a proud big brother and Emmy is in awe of her new little cousins. As of tonight, Judd is still up in the NICU, but we got to hold Beau today! So here are a few pictures of us with Beau and we'll add more when we get to hold Judd too!!

Weekend Getaway :)

For our anniversary this year, Josh surprised me by planning a special weekend away over his Fall Break. We went up to Michigan and had a such a wonderful time together. Emmy stayed with my dad and Sherry and had a ball helping Papa in the field. Thank you Papa & Grandma!! And thank you Josh, for planning such a memorable weekend away for us. Happy Anniversary My Love!!

A beautiful hike in the woods....
