Family Photo Shoot

I love family pictures in the fall. We attempted it again this year. Ryan Smith (at apostrophephotography.com) took some great pictures. Of course, LM looked the best! Here are a few of our favorites. I am trying to save the whole family pics, because I haven't decided yet on our Christmas card. ENJOY!!!

LM giving her mama eskimo kisses

She has a great "mad" face!

What are those people doing behind me?

Kissy face

Happy girl

Lucy McLean and her daddy's favorite trick! We don't go to the circus, we bring it to you!!!

This pretty much sums up their relationship!

Comps

Woohoo. I got my scores back for comps today and I PASSED! Very excited to have that behind me. I really have to thank my wonderful husband for the amazing support he has been throughout grad school. Also thank you to my parents and our friends who have been at our side throughout this whole process. We are truly blessed!

Grammy and Grampy's Halloween Party

Grammy and Grampy were kind enough to hold a little Halloween get together for Lucy McLean to "trick or treat" with all the aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and friends without having to drive from house to house. She had a great time. Here are some pictures from the get together.

Ryan and Grampy in deep conversation! Scary heh?

Aunt Sue all dressed up!

Thank you! I LOVE YOU!!! :)- LM

Cousin Noah's B-day Party

We celebrated Noah's birthday on Saturday with a Halloween party. Lucy McLean had a blast, despite the fact that she went with only a 20 minute nap. LM is a NAPPER so for her to only have a 20 minute nap, she was a trooper! Here are some pictures from the festivities.

Lucy McLean and Evan....she loved the balloon house!

Happy Official Birthday Noah!

Dear Noah Thomas,
We can hardly believe that you are two years old today. We love you to pieces. We love your super handsome curls and those big eyes. We love your teddy bear hugs. We love how gentle you are to your bully of a cousin LM ;)! We love your sweet natured little personality. We love how you will cuddle with your Aunt Erin and Uncle Ryan. We love everything about you Mr. Handsome. We hope you have a wonderful 2nd Birthday.

Love,
Uncle Ryan and Aunt Erin

Dear Cousin Noah,
I LOVE YOU!!! I am so glad we are close in age and get to experience so much together. Thank you for being patient with me when I am around. I know I tend to steal your toys, but you are so good about it. I had a fabulous time at your birthday party. I will have my mama post some pictures later. For now, know that I can't wait to play with you at Thanksgiving (unless you can take your parents hostage and make them come to Brevard before then).

Love,
Cousin Lucy Mac!
