Twinkling lights.

Christmas came early at the Weltes.

Well, my tacky lights came early.

 

 

The snowman shakes cause he is freezing.  What?  It was like 65 degrees today, that's cold!

 

 

We aren't the Griswolds, but we are pretty fun.



I heart sunsets.

Time changes can be difficult when you have children.

Without them that extra hour of sleep is welcomed and enjoyed.

When you have babies, they don't quite understand the snooze button and their usual early wake up call comes painfully before the sun does.

 

However, I have seen the silver lining in the early mornings.

Early  mornings mean shorter days.

Shorter days mean I can take my family down to the beach before dinner and watch God's sun set under the blanket of the pacific.

 

I now love time changes.

 



Cheers to good health!

November 3rd - 6th marked the one year anniverary of when Asher was hospitalized for a staph infection.  I still thank God everyday that he was OK and we got to take him home after just 3 days.

 

To celebrate our health and God's mercies, we went to the zoo!  We love animals, so it was fitting for this family, who may fit in a little too well at the zoo.

 

Asher loved walking around.  He's currently obsessed with birds, so he enjoyed the aviaries a lot!

 

Rare blonde koloa sighting.

 

My sweet Ash at just a week old in the hospital.  One year later he is a spunky toddler.

 

It is easy to take your health for granted. 

We are so happy that we are all healthy and thriving.

Cheers to many more healthy years ahead.



H is for Halloween and C is for CANDY!

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.

The first one said oh my it's getting late.

The second one said there are witches in the air.

The third one said but we don't care.

The fourth one said, let's run and run and run.

The fifth one said, it's time to have some fun!

Then ooooooh went the wind and out went the light, and the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

 

Jonah has learned  to love that little song.

After singing it for what seems like the hundreth time - I've learned to hate it.

 

Halloween has come and gone.  My little Jonah man has really embraced this holiday - maybe it's the chocolate?  Whether it's the candy or not, he loves it.  Loves the pumpkin carving, candy collecting, candy sorting and candy eating.

 

I'm glad it's over.  My tummy is having a candy hangover today.

 

Jonah at his Halloween Parade at Preschool.  So precious!  He didn't wear the moustache long.

 

Who wore it better?

 

We went trick or treating for about an hour and Jonah had a blast.  Asher was fussy but he held his own.  Jonah loved ringing everyone's doorbell and he was very polite saying thank you after every piece of candy was given out.  He promptly came home and sorted all his candy by type asking me the names of each one.  He's since taken out his candy and done this about 20 times. 

 

Post Halloween sugar rush.

 

Bring on Christmas, er I mean Thanksgiving.
