Fall 2011

I'm so far behind in my blog that I'm going to do a quick, seasonal post.

My parents came to visit at the end of October! It was great to spend some time together!

Tim and I took the kids to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. This museum is by far the coolest museum I've been to yet. Love it.

We were really lucky because the Friday that we went there was hardly anyone there! For the first time, the kids were able to do any of the hands-on exhibits that they wanted to! :)

Isaiah and me in the wind tunnel...he lasted a little bit, then he wanted out.






Meet Kevin. He was living in the museum for a month. I'll bet it was an interesting experience for him!



We were a robot - HA!

I stunk at this.

Tim did much better.

An airplane? In the building? COOL!

Gotta love the model trains!

A submarine? In the building? COOL!



Isaiah's favorite exhibit :)

The Dr. Seuss exhibit rocked!

Mallory is really growing up fast on us. She developing some hobbies and interests - cooking with Mommy, art projects, and taking pictures.


Professional Taste Tester

Mallory was super-duper proud to help make the pumpkin pies for Grandma and Grandpa Seabaugh for Thanksgiving dinner. They were able to come up for their annual Thanksgiving visit!

Grandma and Isaiah worked hard on "homework" while Mommy was cooking. :)

We made a quick visit to Minnesota to see Tim's grandparents. We also caught up with a couple of his aunts, uncles, cousins for a bit. It's nice to be close to MN family, but we still don't get to see them as often as we would like. It's important to take those opportunities when we can.


Don't mind Mallory. She's almost three years old.

Such an adorable little singer!

And just for show-and-tell - check out the absolutely adorable post-it dispensers that I made for some Christmas gifts this year! Love them! (Thank you Pinterest for the idea!)

Turkey Dinner

I love to cook. I especially enjoy when I have an opportunity to plan and prepare a big meal. This year, I prepared my second Thanksgiving Dinner. Tim's parents were up visiting, as you probably gathered from my previous Blog post about Black Friday. We had a very nice visit with much to be thankful for this year.

The Menu
Turkey
Baked Ham
Mashed Potatoes with Gravy
Grandma Feranec's Dressing
Sauteed Green Beans
Beer Bread
Pumpkin Pie
Sugar Free Pumpkin Pudding
Here's the Jennie-O Turkey - $0.48 per pound! We paid under $6.00 for this bird. What a deal!

Dinner's ready! We even got out the wedding china for dinner and dessert.

OK, Mom - the crock pot dressing really WAS just as good as baking it in the oven!
Gobble, gobble everyone. I hope that you were able to give thanks for your many blessings with your loved ones. If you weren't actually with all of your family and friends, I'm sure they were in your hearts, as mine were.
