Wait... is that a baby, or a giraffe??
John Dickson's first Halloween was really fun. He spent the day decked out in his "boo" socks and various Halloween bibs. We dressed him up to answer the door and hand out candy, but sadly, we only had 4 trick or treaters. When the first kid came, I was holding John Dickson in one hand and the bowl of candy in the other. I closed the door with my foot and looked down to find John Dickson had helped himself to some candy - very sneaky! He didn't make it past the first trick or treater - I guess all the excitement just wore him out! As you can see from the pictures, Big Linda and Grandpop came down to partake in the festivities. Now, on to Thanksgiving :-D
My husband... the man who brings home random box turtles, can speak perfect jibberish in french, cooks some mean scrambled eggs, could win a Dwight Shrute impersonation contest, knows every piece of useless trivia, and secretly watches Food Network. He makes our son laugh in ways I will never be able to, and turns into putty when he is around the crazy munchkin. The love of my life.

The brains behind the blog... the reason posts won't format and backgrounds are months before the coming holiday. I'm a pretty simple girl... I love to cook, love birthdays, holidays, weddings, and babies. Frequently eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's in one sitting, and love chocolate cake with sprinkles. I love my family... every last crazy member of it! I'm a lucky girl.
John Dickson
Our crazy munchkin who loves being outside, eating massive quantities of food, having a good pair of shoes, playing with his dogs, dancing to Michael Jackson and Miley Cyrus, and giving big slobbery kisses! He loves being a big brother and watches out for Henry! Beautiful, fuuny & alarmingly smart.
Henry
Our sweet baby boy who loves to eat, sleep, be bicep curled, loves his seahorse, and enjoys a good ceiling fan or a variety of overhead lights. He's big on smiling and making sweet sounds, and he especially smiles for his goofy big brother.
Bear & Ellie
Our children who use to be included in the Kelley Christmas card. Our furry babies who now have their ears pulled and eyeballs poked out. Our crazy dogs who now get 17 treats a day from our people munchkin, and who eat his toys in return. Our faithful pups whose lives have been turned upside down since the arrival of John Dickson and yet continue to warm our feet at night. Our first babies.
Oh my gosh!!!! He is the cutest giraffe I have EVER seen :) How adorable!!! Miss you guys sooo much. Hope we get to see you soon!
