Halloween and Noel's bday

We are settling into our new house and glad to be done unpacking boxes.  Lots of work still left to be done, but we are trying to live life in the midst of it, and not work all the time!

I will try to post some pics/video of the place sometime soon so those of you faraway can catch a glimpse!

Let's see, besides moving.....  Pretty much I will blog around what pictures I managed to remember to capture this month.  We celebrated Lee's 34th birthday and Halloween.....  Here is our little Cinderella and Captain America.....

All the cousins....  So glad they can be together - I have great memories of trick or treating with my cousins each year!

Ah yes, right after Halloween, Noel turned two!  Her biggest request was a Cinderella cake....

I wish I had video of Noel when I showed it to her - She was jumping up and down in uncontrollable excitement!  =)  This party was extra special, being the first one in which we could actually host our whole extended family in our own house.  Before, it was just too small.  It was such a blessing to have our family near and under our own roof!  And it was also special because our cousin Lincoln turned two also, so we got to celebrate he and Noel together....

Here is video of Noel on one of her presents.  Thank you craigslist - this is a nice solution to a dirt backyard....

Somehow, with just dirt back there, my kids find a way to entertain themselves....

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful home.  It feels just right for our family!  The pictures and videos I happened to get this past month barely capture our joy and thankful hearts!
