Fall Pictures... Finally!

I really like this picture of Ian in black and white, but his eyes are SO blue... that I had to post it in color too!

This one of Reagan and me is a treat.... usually I'm behind the lens! Thanks Daddy! :)

Ian got tagged!

Name/Meaning: "Ian Charles" Ian comes from the same Irish root word as "Sean"--which is Daddy's name. It means "God is Gracious". Charles is my maternal Grandpa's name. He was a riot-- had a ton of personality and was a big teddy bear. Ian is exactly the same. Read this to see how we chose the name (it's a long post-- the name part is half way down).

Age: 2 years 5 months

Nicknames: "E", Bubby, Bubs

Favorite Activity (ies): Running, jumping, hitting his head, playing with cars, pretending to be a dog with Reagan, coloring, running, dancing, running around the kitchen island, and more!

Favorite Food: Smoothies, Edemame, Yogurt, Frozen Peas, Bananas, Tings, Chocolate covered raisins, carrots w/ dip.

Least favorite food: He goes through phases of liking or disliking. He currently refuses to eat Oatmeal. He used to eat it like it was candy.

Favorite Music: Anything with a good beat--- the kid can dance!!

Favorite toys: Daddy. And cars, animals, puzzles, dinosaurs, books

Favorite books: Dancing Dinos, The Going to Bed Book, his big Usborne Truck book and anything that has pages, really. He loves books.

What makes him happy: Daddy. His blanket, playing with Reagan, a new car-car, looking at toy catalogs, getting a smoothie at Starbucks.

What makes him sad: Not getting his way, getting in trouble, saying bye to Daddy in the morning.

Thank you...

Thank you to all of those men and women who serve our country on a daily basis, who have served in the past and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Thank you to their families who unselfishly let their Dads, Moms, Husbands, Wives, Children, Grandchildren, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Best Friends etc... leave them behind to fight for us.

Let's NEVER take that for granted, okay?

PS--- Thanks Dad, for your 20+ years of service in the Air Force. I am so thankful that God chose you to be my Dad... I love you!
