Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary, Travis! What an amazing 5 years it has been. I am so proud of the family and life that our love has made. To wake up each day as your wife is a blessing that I cherish. I could not ask for more in a husband, father or friend. I love you so much and am glad that we found each other. I hope I can be all to you that you have been to me. All my love, XXX -C

Bewitching, don't ya think?

Last night Lily tried on the witch hat she begged to buy so I could wear it on Halloween. You see, Lily is going to be a black cat and she wanted me to be the black cat's witch. I tried to explain to her that mommy doesn't need a hat or costume to go as a witch, but she just couldn't get it. I think daddy could.... ; )

On the farm

Last Saturday we spent the afternoon at Harmon's in Lexington. The kids had a great time on the haunted hayride and going through the corn maze. The picture of Lily covering her mouth was pretty much the position she kept while on the haunted hayride, which was not all that haunted. After our big day, we came home and made homemade pizza which the kids had a blast doing. We seem to be so busy all the time, so having a slow paced afternoon with the people you love most was wonderful.

FANTASTIC NEWS!

COULD IT BE???!!! YES IT'S TRUE!!!!
STEPHANIE IS GETTING MARRIED!!!!!

All the best to my best friend, and her wonderful, charming fiancee' Grant!

We love you, Aunt Stevie!
Travis, Charleston, Chancellor, Lily and Charlie

Counting down the hours

Everyone at the Laffin household is counting down to Travis' return! He has been in Texas for the past week. I'm not sure if mommy or the little people are more excited!
He may be gone every other week, be we never get used to him being away from us. Hurry home DADDY!

Sunday

This Sunday we celebrated my birthday with Travis' family. The food was wonderful and we had a lot of fun. I hate that I didn't get a shot of Jake, and poor Chancellor wasn't well so he wasnt there. I did however get some cute shots of Lily and Sadie and Charlie and Mollie Grace.

So much fun!

Last Thursday was my 29Th birthday and we celebrated it at mom and dad's mountain house. It was such a special weekend! I got a beautiful ring from Travis and my 3 wonderful children, a very cool new digital camera from my parents and a bag full of fun stuff from my girlfriend Charis. We had a party on Saturday and when Travis and Chancellor drove up on Friday, they brought with them a dozen chocolate cupcakes from Chocolate Nirvana. Let me tell you, if I was going to the chair, I want those cupcakes as a last meal! We had so much fun going on golf chart rides and bear watching trips. Everything was perfect and while 29 is bittersweet, I can't think of a better way to celebrate my last birthday in my 20's.

The only glitch is that my kissing bandit husband (don't worry, it's a funny story) got everyone sick with his sore throat. He thought he was over it and no longer contagious when he arrived, but he still had the cooties. Since Sunday I have been in the bed. Charis got it and I have a picture to show why (HA HA) and now poor Chancellor is home in bed. Come to find out it's a viral strep throat infection and it stinks!

Now that I am feeling half way human again, I can really look forward to somethings. Like tonight is The Office premiere. Very excited about that. On Sunday we are going to my in-laws for my birthday celebration with that side of the family. MORE CAKE! :)

I hope everyone is doing well, I miss seeing so many of you. Until next time....
