It's Kelf!

Thank you Auntie KK for the tasty Christmas tale about...ME!

Holly Jolly Christmas

The magic of Christmas eluded Kelan this year. His first encounter with Santa resulted in a Rudolph-red face and a desperate desire to get away fast. We're hoping next year he'll want to play reindeer games...

Impromptu

After waking from a very sweaty afternoon nap (note: super stringy hair), "Dad-duh" (KC's actual pronunciation) captured his antics on the kitchen floor.

His cheeks are so yummy I think we may need to insure them....

Farmville Veterans Memorial

We have so much to be grateful for that it was fitting to visit the memorial during Thanksgiving to honor those who have served our country.

Contemplative

Fall foliage

With the peak of the season upon us, a scenic trip to NC's wine country was in store. We spent the afternoon wine tasting and roaming the grounds at Raffaldini Vineyards -- it was quite simply a perfect day.

Monkey business

Curious Kelan's first Halloween was off to a good start.




Lot's of silliness and monkeying around with the dogs,


however, when it was over...it was O. V. E. R.

Getting into character

Despite all the Halloween hype we dished out, he remained unconvinced until...


he got his paws on.


Now that he's goin' for it -- break out the costume!

Rubber Ducky... you're the one!

He looks just like Ernie huh?!

Need I say more?

Yes, Thomas has got some competition...

Sweet or Spooky?

Uh, frightening?!

Pumpkin patch

Typical boy - turns out he was more interested in the grass and dirt than picking out a pumpkin


"GRASS!"
(not fazed in the slightest by the giant pumpkins in his way)

C'mon, let's bounce!

Any given Saturday...

you'll find us rooting for our favorite team -- Go Heels!

Touchdown!

Take that, Notre Dame.
