1st Beta Post

Welcome! I apologize for the inconvenience of having to log in to view this site now. I have noticed some things that I really like about this new beta site and some things that I hope the Blogger people correct soon! You'll notice that a few of my pictures below are cut off on the bottom. I don't know what happened during the upload process - I obviously still have a lot to learn about this new site. You can click on the pictures though to see what got cut off.
Anyhow - things have been very busy this past week and that is why I didn't get to post as soon as I had intended to. Along with Aaron's new church calling as Sunday School president, I finally got a calling last week. It was getting to feel a bit strange to not have a church calling. I have been asked to serve in the nursery. I am excited about it - those of you that know me, know that I loved serving in the nursery in Georgia. The difficult part will be handling Carter for those two hours. I hope Aaron is up to the task! ;)
Olivia and Carter are doing great! Olivia now introduces herself as 'Cinderella' to strangers. Luckily she is still in love with Carter. Carter is really starting to enjoy his big sister. As long as she doesn't get down in his face with a loud voice. Carter is a very smiley guy and loves to jabber in conversation with his mommy.
Aaron is still working hard with school and keeping very busy with work. We live for the weekends now more than ever!!!
Aaron and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on October 4th! Aaron is so great - he got me a beautiful white gold necklace and earrings with amethyst stones. My present to him wasn't near as exciting...at least we can laugh at it:) (Scrubs season 1)
I do still have video I want to post, but I have a feeling it's going to take some figuring out with the whole Beta site...it might be awhile.


This is one of those pictures that got cut off! We have had some 'residents' in our attic over the past month or two. Our landlord has been great to keep the trap out though. He's caught two possums, two cats and a.....




raccoon! (Another picture that got cut off)




Last Saturday we went to a fall festival at Iron's Fruit Farm in Lebanon, Ohio with some friends.




Olivia enjoyed the fire truck.



We took a tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch.



Trying to spot a good pumpkin!



Olivia and Aaron did a good job of picking out a small one for us. We couldn't get a very big one because our friends picked out 3 gigantic ones that Aaron also had to carry for them! haha - just kidding Karen!



Darn the cut off pictures! This was supposed to be a cute pictures of Jordan, Dylan and Olivia enjoying the pumpkins back at the farm.




Jordan and Olivia enjoying their fresh cinnamon apple donuts! It was quite the tail-gate party!




I've been Krogering!



This is how I often find my two children! How sweet!



Carter got read to by Olivia for the first time! He really enjoyed it.

Nice beta blog! We are going to a pumpkin patch tomorrow, and I'm even more excited because it looks like you guys had a blast! Olivia is such an adorable big sister. Like they say, they play with each other! Looks like fun.

Cute kidlets!

Thanks for posting a picture of my behind. I had forgotten how big it was. Ha-ha. It's fun to look at your blog and see pictures of us. I love having you close. You guys are so much! You didn't tell me you got some bling-bling for your anniversary. You'll have to show them to me. Oh by the way, Thanks for carrying our pumpkins Aaron. You sure have some big guns. Those pumpkins weighed at least 8 lbs!!!
