Ava Jacqueline Blake
Is there anything better than a brand new baby? I think not :) My cousin and his wife welcomed their first child into the world last night. Ava Blake...sounds like a movie star name to me :) She is perfect and so beautiful! She had to take a little trip to the NICU so I didn't get to hold her, but I can't wait to get my hands on her at Thanksgiving. Congrats Greg and Angie! We love all 3 of you!

Christmas card pics!
One of my absolute favorite things about Christmas is Christmas cards. I love to see pictures of my friends families on Christmas cards! I took Finley out today hoping to get a good shot the first time and I did! Yay! Here are a few of my favorites.
Operation Christmas Child 2011
We packed boxes for OCC again this year. If you want to participate, here is the website with instructions on packing your boxes.
http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/
Each year, Samaritan's Purse asks you to donate at least $7 (either online or put a check in your box) for each box to cover shipping. This year they asked for a little more because shipping costs have gone up, but it's still a great way to give without breaking the bank.
We did a boy and girl ages 2-4 again this year. Here's what we packed...
Finley wasn't quite sure where all these toys were going, but she was happy to help me pack them anyway.
Next year I want to go to another country to help distribute the boxes to the children. How awesome would that be??? If you see me soliciting people to go with me on Facebook next year don't be surprised.

A new love...
I FINALLY found a table to go between my chairs! I'm madly in love with it. I love the finish! The lamp is new too. I got both for less than $150! I heart T J Maxx ;)

Happy Halloween!
Finley made a spooky ghost at MDO.
We went trick-or-treating with the girls across the street. Finley loved going up to the houses.
Here's our "lazy parent" pumpkin. Finley didn't mind. She's really into Cookie Monster and Elmo right now. She never watches Sesame Street, but they are on her diapers so she's obssessed.
Finley had a halloween party at MDO.
I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!!
