Family Photos




We had our pictures taken last year at about this time at a state park north of the house. Fall is such a wonderful season! Family pictures really give you a frame of reference of just how far you have come in a year! Nicole and I have not changed all that much, but when you think about a "mere" 365-days and look at each of our boys and see how much they have changed...it is shocking! It warms your heart to think about where they were a year ago and how God has graced our lives and led us with his hand. Children are wonderful gifts that truly enrich every aspect of our lives. Mind you, every day is not easy but it makes you appreciate what you have that much more. Although I have spent over 30 years of my life without children, now that I have them, it is certainly hard to imagine my life without them! We hope you enjoy the pictures of our family and can appreciate how we have grown in a year :)

Trick or Treat!




Happy Halloween! For those of you dedicated enough to stick with us, even though our Blog posts are haphazard at best, thanks for hanging in there. This was the first year that Lucas and Liam both got to trick or treat, have a good time while having an real idea what was going on, wear a costume, get to beg strangers for candy, and have an awesome time doing it! Nicole's parents joined us this year for Halloween. It is always a good time when Grandma and Grandpa Jackson are in town! We also got to hand out candy to trick or treaters as well. All in all, we had a good time, got to enjoy the lovely Fall weather, meet some of our neighbors, eat a BUNCH of candy, and pretend that we were something that we really are not, if only for one night!

Keep an eye on the Blog for updates in the near future. Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner!

Love,
Wes, Nicole, Lucas & Liam
