Zoey doing her own Illini cheer!

yummy!

Don't waste it!

These moments melt my heart.

Eli will climb in the wagon and yell "ready"! So cute!

Boxes are so much fun!

Look at all those headbands!

Amazing

This doesn't have anything to do with Zoey or Eli directly, but it was such an amazing thing to witness that I wanted to share. A soldier from Rantoul died in Afghanistan last week. Although it was under sad circumstances, it was remarkable to watch our community come together and place flags along all of 136 and around the high school. Another group came in and placed 10 ft flags along 136 also. The motorcade has to be one of the most amazing things I've seen. Pride, sadness, sacrifice. He left behind a wife and 13 month old son. It's given me a reboot of being thankful for everything in our lives. We are definitely thankful for all our family and friends out there. We love you!

Cookies and pumpkins!

Making sugar cookies... yummy!

Big mess and a mouth full of dough!

Don't eat mine!

Carving pumpkins!

Ah, the joys of trying to get them both to look!

Painting pumpkins!

Painting everywhere!

Paint on the face... a true artist. Or is that a toddler? :)
