Picture Perfect

While we were in NY. Heather took some amazing pictures of our family. The kids were troopers. It was so cold and windy, but everyone tolerated mom and her wants. Especially Heather (Thanks again). I think they turned out wonderful and I just wanted to share some of them with you.

New York State Of Mind...

Peck Dance Party...

We just got back from visiting with Michael,Heather and family.. We had such a Great time. We were able to stay in the cottage Heathers parents own on Lake Erie. It was so beautiful there.
The kids had a blast. Jacob & Logan are so fun to watch. They have an endless amount of energy. The girls loved Lauren, she is a real sweetie. We all wanted to love on Lincoln. He is such a cutie. He is always smiling and Happy. Heather was so wonderful and took a lot of pictures of the family. She made the best waffles ever. Tasted like a Cinna-Bun waffle. YUM-YUM. Michael was able to come down on Friday after work. Michael looked really good. We are excited for him that he is so close to being done with this crazy schedule. It has been a huge sacrifice for Michael and Heather being away from each other so much. They are really an amazing couple. Thanks you guys for a Great Weekend we had a Blast!!!!

Madison's Week..

Where to start with Madison. She tried out for the Wooster City volleyball team and made it. We were so excited, She has taken some classes and has really caught on quickly. We can't wait to go to her first game. Madison was in the paper for helping organize the rummage sale were the $950.00 they made along with other funds raised went to buy Wii's for seniors. Madison and her class made scarecrows to give to The Wooster Care Center. Madison and her friend Emily went to the center and passes out all 61 scarecrows to the residents. It was really sweet to see her interact with them. She has such a Sweet Spirit about her. Once she overcame her fear of being there. She was off and running. For Halloween with protest from Mom she dressed up as Tony Romo. I tried to find a Giants jersey, but even if I would have been successful she would not have worn it. She is a True Dallas Cowboys fan.. Wonder were she gets that from? Madison is growing up so fast. If I am lucky enough to keep half of the sweetness she has inside of her right now when she is a teenage I will count myself LUCKY....

Gracie's Week..

Grace had a exciting week. She was elected Student of the Month for the 2nd graders. She was nominated for being Trustworthy. A honorable title to be known for. She went to Sunrise retirement center with her class and played bingo with them for a few hours. I think this is something we will try to continue to do as a family. Like always she is my easy going child. Always willing to help and always there when I need her. Gracie and Madison have made a paper chain counting down the days till Christmas. I really do not need to know how many days till Christmas. I am still trying to help finish the Halloween candy. I am lucky to have such a sweet and loving girl.

Jacob's Week..

Jacob had a full week. He started riding the bus to school. Which he was excited about, but mom was a bit leary. He was able to dress up for his school Halloween party. He was the coolest Ironman there. He could not wait for Halloween. Every day it was the same question. Is it Halloween yet?? I was not looking foward to Jacob full of sugar. He wears me out on a normal day. He is the energizer bunny of little boys. I love his enthusiam and the way he tries to bribe me into letting him do stuff. Wonder were he got that from?

Ty's week

Like always Ty is always doing something. He loved having Grandma & Grandpa here. He enjoyed all the candy he got from Trick-or-Treating. Did not like having to put on a costume though. He got a new jeep, so his favorite thing this week is having someone drive him around until the battery runs out. Which sometimes doesn't take as long as I would like. Ty is one adorable and demanding child. So that's why when he is trying my patience I have to think to myself he will be out of this stage soon. Then I will be missing those demanding days..

A Wonderful Visit.

We were so excited to have Darrell & Dyann come to visit.. After a long road trip they arrived on Saturday evening. The kids had no idea they were coming so they were ecstatic when they realized we were following Grandma & Grandpa to the house. Madison was crying saying "This is the best day ever". We spent time sightseeing. Dyann was able to go on a field trip with Jacob and I to the pumpkin patch. We were able to have my mom & dad over for dinner. Some more sight seeing. Went to Christmas Park to see the black squirrel's. Had Darrell's Wonderful Sunday roast. Then the dreaded day. They had to leave. Like most departures it was very sad, and had a few revisits after we remembered things they left. We were just trying to stall them from leaving. The house seems empty without them. So PLEASE come back and visit soon. This time fly...
