October Ladies

Scott and I were in Ohio over the weekend to celebrate some very special birthdays...



His mom, grandmother, and sister all have birthdays the same week. It's tradition for us to visit for them and this year was no different. The only thing that changed this year is that we kept it a surprise. And no one was more surprised than Nana. Some might say it's not a good idea to surprise a 90 year old woman (yes 90!), but we were so glad we did. The look on her face when she opened the door to us saying "Happy Birthday", was priceless.

We had a great time visiting the family, and look forward to spending more time with them over Thanksgiving!


There was another special birthday celebrated this past weekend. Our little peanut, Ellie, turned two! From what I hear, the party was a lot of fun...complete with a pony!





Ellie sure is getting big. She can recite the alphabet, count to ten and talk like you wouldn't believe! Can't wait to see her and the rest of the family over Christmas!

Happy Birthday to all the October ladies!

Having Scott and Chris here in Oxford truly made it a celebration! We know that Chris was thinking about Ellie's birthday while she was helping us celebrate ours. Thanks for sharing her with us over the weekend. Sounds like Ellie is ready to take on the world with the alphabet, numbers, and names of animals already under control. And, Chris tells us that she even knows what an armadillo is! I'm sure you're having a lot of fun with her. Mary V.
