Nana and Grandpa Ted




What a gorgeous place we live!



I love you, Mom!




















oops!



















We have shared many great moments with my mom, Nana, and Grandpa Ted this year. But I recently received these pictures from one of their trips up here. We had a great day playing outside and collecting leaves. Here are a couple pictures from this trip. Thanks for that great day!

My little flock

Well, below I have included some pictures of my favorite two sheep. This was our Halloween costume. Richard was a little concerned that we would be pegging Addie as the black sheep of the family, but she wasn't fazed. They are both amazing kids and I am blessed, and many times humbled, to be their mom. They both had so much fun in their costumes and eating candy. I think we left a trail of cotton balls everywhere we went. Between that and the trail of candy wrappers I knew they wouldn't get far!

Ok, on a different note, I was "tagged" by Becky to list 10 things about myself that others may not know. Here goes...

1. When I was little I would pull up the covers to the bottom of my chin so that if a murderer came in he would pass me up because he would think that someone had already cut off my head.
2. I really hate watching movies like "Meet the Parents" because I just totally stress the whole time for the characters in the movie. It is more of a nail biter for me than a suspense movie.
3. A horrible nick name I was called in elementary school (as Jen reminded me just now on the phone) was "Heidi Yoder Gas Exploder". I think the only reason was the rhyme, but maybe that is why I refuse to "toot" in front of even my husband now.
4. I hate hate Lima beans! Mom used to make me eat "just two more bites."
5. I love oysters!
7. I would love to move to another country for a year.
8. The first night my dad met Richard was when we were sneaking into his supposedly empty house at like 3 in the morning. Not a good first impression!
9. I used to want to either be a ventriloquist or a dolphin trainer...weirdo, I know.
10. My face turns red really easily which drawls even more attention to the fact that I embarress easily.

Ok, there it is...I think I feel a little lighter now! Funny stuff. I can't wait to read everyoneesle's. I really don't have any bloggers to tag, since Becky about covered it! I look forward to reading them though.

Boston and Back






















not me, but Richard! Let me catch you up on a few things that have happened in the last month or so...Here I thought..."what a great birthday gift...to let Richard go to Boston to see the Red Sox play and have a few days, no kids, exploring New England with one of his best friends." Well, to my surprise, I was the only one not "in" on the real plan. Here Richard had bought, for me (he is stoked about it too) a JEEP! He bought it online in Rhode Island and had Jake tell me this extravagant lie so that they could go get it without me knowing. I know I have a pretty amazing husband (I do let him drive it too sometimes!) Richard and Jake did get to go to the Sox game and a lot of other really cool places, but I was floored when he brought it home. I love it! My first vehicle was a Jeep Wrangler and I guess I never got over it. It is a pretty cool mom vehicle, not traditional, but pretty cool! I have included some pictures of it along with pictures from their trip. I love you Richard! I take back all the stuff I said before...this is so much better than flowers!
