happy thanksgiving...

"happy thanksgiving..."

"happy thanksgiving back. "

one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite fall movies, "You've Got Mail." 

i know i'm almost two months late with posting thanksgiving images, but i wanted to be sure and document some of them before time got away too much. 

we spent the first part of thanksgiving week on the Porter Farm and we came back to Kansas City for the actual day. we were blessed to spend the day in company of some good friends, the Parsons. they opened up their home to us and we enjoyed a bountiful Thanksgiving meal together. 

here are some images from our day...(mostly taken by my sweet husband)

our fourth.

what did we do on the fourth of july??

made homemade raspberry lemonade from here.

hung out with friends for the afternoon. 

got mad at all the people shooting off ridiculously loud fireworks.

(we are those parents now apparently) 

how did you spend your holiday?

texas...

so we just got back from a visit to my parents. 

i loved the time away and break from "normal-cy"

london loved it too.

a small bummer is...

i bought this new camera  and was excited to use it to capture london's cute little moments and have photos for the blog and on and on. 

(before this camera, photos have been taken with either my iPhone or my sis's rockin canon 5d. so...this camera was a good in-between.)

and the day we left for TX, we lost it :( bummer of bums. 

i can just see some TSA agent using it right now while he's out having a drink with buddies ;)

anyways, here are some photos from our trip...with the iPhone. 

enjoy.

daddy shows lon's a picture book, while i tried on clothes at one of my favorites, LuLu Lemon.
