Thanksgiving week is fast approaching, and we are heading to Idaho Falls early in the morning with Jessica and her boys in tow! I look forward to posting photos of our trip!
My 56th birthday was on November 17th, our last day in Japan. When we arrived in the U.S. the following day, it was still November 17th, so technically I had two birthdays in a row! I called my twin sister and told her that I was older than her now ;-).
When we got home after long hours in three airports and three plane rides, it was great to be home! I walked into the kitchen and found pink streamers and colored balloons hanging from our pot rack, plus a vase of fresh flowers (Freesia), a birthday bag full of fun gifts, and breakfast food items on the kitchen counter! There was also a lovely "Happy Birthday" banner hanging from our dining hutch. What a nice surprise from Jessica and her boys! They had come into our house earlier in the day and got everything hung and placed. It really made my day!

Awesome iPhone screen photo collage on my brand new iPhone 6+
The coolest gift from Mike ever (since the iPad and the MacBook Air)!

| I just want to eat him up! |

Now that Joey's walking on his own and trying to talk, he's even more fun than ever
If only he'd like to be hugged as much as I want to hug him! |

| I don't think Joey will ever outgrow his love of cars |
