Nolan Turns ONE

On Friday Mom & I dug dahlia bulbs--no promises! it was cold!--and cleaned up the flower beds along the house. Sweet heaven for us, even in the cold. A job well-done and ready for winter! Then Mom and Dad went to see Shirley and Sandy Alderman, as George had passed away on Thanksgiving Day. Then we all gathered at the Mosers to celebrate Nolan's FIRST BIRTHDAY! It was a Braveheart/Apple Cup theme--kilt and halftime party to boot! A sweet one-year old boy, surrounded by adoring family. A great ending to a sweet farm visit.

So Much to be Thankful For

We were eager to get to the farm for Thanksgiving, 1) to hug G'ma Joan and all those who loved Papa LeRoy, and 2) to meet our new little Nolan Thomas!  The whole holiday felt the extremes of our gratitude for life...an ending and a beginning at every turn.

Colleen gave Kelly this quilt she'd made...

Little Nolan is the best little button EVER!!! We loved our snuggles with our new nephew/cousin.

And Micah got his birthday pie with ice cream...yummm!

Green bean casserole QUEENS.

Sweet picture symbolizes our holiday.

Or does THIS picture symbolize our holiday?

So glad that we ran this early...

Look who joined our family today!!!  Nolan Thomas, we've been waiting for you!!!  Such a perfect little guy...Micah's birthday bestie! So grateful for this boy.

A Baby BOY Shower for the Mosers

 Over Labor Day Weekend, we helped host a baby shower for Kelly and the family.  Her sister Kim did most of the decorating and food...it was a desert cowboy theme.  Super cute and fun to think of a little BOY joining our midst...
