Ard Family Thanksgiving

Here are most of the Ard Family, my step-family. My dad has 4 sisters and a brother. There are 6 Ard siblings. Most already have grandchildren. We are missing about 15 people in this picture. What a group!

How many kids can you fit in a single stroller?

Apparently three! Thank you Heather and Preston for letting them ride along :-)

Fair Time Again!

Lani (and us too) had a blast at the fair this year. This was her first year to ride some of the kiddie rides. We ran into some friends there and had fun hanging out with other couples. It was a great night!

Happy Fall Ya'll

The pumpkin she painted

Lani and I went to a Pumpkin Patch in the rain last Saturday. We still had fun! It is also a Christmas Tree Farm, so we were able to see all the future christmas trees.

Picture Time

Lani took pictures at daycare. It was so hard to choose which ones to buy!

Labor Day Weekend

We had family come in from Louisiana for the weekend. Lani thoroughly enjoyed playing with her Cousin Maci. They don't get to see each other near enough. The girls played very well together. I was so proud of them. Maci is only 2 months older than Lani, but look how tall she is :-)
