Thank You

I know I'm a day late, but Happy Veteran's Day to all those who have served the good ole' US of A!

There really are no words that even come close to the thanks and respect I have for the men and women who have served and protected our nation. So I will keep it short and simple and say "Thank You!"

As I was at the store yesterday, I noticed an old man proudly donning his VFW cap and it brought a smile to my face. I planned on thanking him for his service but Harper had other plans. Veterans should feel very proud of their dedication to the US and should show their military pride everyday. And WE should thank them everyday, not just on Veteran's Day or Memorial Day. I thank a Vet every chance I get - whether I'm passing by a Humvee on the interstate or I see a man/woman in their BDU's out in public, I show my respect.

This is one of my favorite commercials of all time! Remember - Veteran's should be thanked everyday, not just one day out of the year!

A special thank you to my favorite vet, my husband! I am so proud of you and honored to be your wife! I love you!

Halloween 2011

We had so much fun with Halloween this year. Kids make everything better - Harper is at the age where she is just starting to understand what is going on. It's a lot of fun.

On Friday night we carved pumpkins. Harper didn't care for the carving - but she loved staring at the pumpkins when we lit them up. I made a traditional happy face and Adam made an Iowa Hawkeye. The Hawkeye pumpkin was a big hit with a lot of the kids!

Speaking of pumpkins........

Harper had more fun handing out the candy than the actual trick-or-treating. She stood at the door all night and watched the kids walk by. She'd run into the living room and shout "some one's here!" before the kids would even have time to ring the doorbell. Harper would then run back to the door, knock on the glass and wave at the kids. She was not scared one bit. It was fun to watch her interact with everyone.
