Our family is making the move back to Williston, ND.  Alex and I are both from Williston and a great job opportunity came up for Alex,  so this Wednesday we will head out to begin our new adventure!  We are so excited to raise our kiddos with family.  I have such great memories with my Grandparents growing up and am excited for my kids to have those memories too.

Leaving Thief River Falls will be difficult!  Alex and I have been here for seven years.  We purchased our first home here, brought our babies home here, and have made SO MANY wonderful friendships.  Our time here has truly been a blessing and we will always have fond memories of our life here.

Now onto the pictures…..

The last six weeks has been a whirlwind, full of decision making and all of the wonderful events of everyday life!  I looked at the date of this photo and it is from October, 4th!  I have so many photos, I just picked a few.

Elias absolutely adores Julia and I am sure she feels the same, you should see how she looks at him!

Julia was almost three months in these photos….she will be four months in nine days!  I can’t believe it!

Her three month photo:  I can just hear her squealing when I look at this.  My Aunt Mary made her the quilt, it is so special to have handmade things from family!

We lucked out with a pretty nice day for Trick-or-Treating.

Elias had so much fun going around the neighborhood with the Hughes boys!  Of all the things we will miss most about Thief River, this sweet family tops the list!  We just love these boys!

Is he not the perfect little Yoda?

Elias turned FIVE on November 3rd!  He had a pirate themed party and I had so much fun crafting for it.  I also had big plans for photographing all the details, but the party was a busy one!

Like I said, it was a BUSY party!  Swords and a pinata….we are lucky no one was hurt!!

Elias hasn’t napped for a long time, but he rests everyday and during this time, he usually fills his bed with books and reads.  His new favorite is this Star Wars Character Encyclopedia from his birthday:)

I took pictures of Julia’s nursery a week or so ago, here is one for now….we will see if I get to posting more later:)

Elias also loves LEGOs and has gotten quite good at them.
