We hope you and yours are enjoying the holiday season. For our family, this has been a year of blessings and peace, for which we are very grateful. Here are a few of our best moments:
We celebrated my Grandma and Grandpa Wainwright's 60th wedding anniversary on a cruise to Mexico. The highlight of the trip was scoring two free excursion tickets with my mama to swim into secret beach and see the Humpback whales near Marietta Island (off the coast of Puerto Vallarta). My mom tried to jump in the ocean and swim with the whales, but the crew wouldn't let her.
This cute little honey loves a little sensory stimulation - calms him right down. He fell asleep on this trip to the barber. Notice the delighted bystanders - yes, we think he is very darling too.
These two barefoot brothers worked pretty darn hard growing and selling pumpkins for their annual sale this Fall. They dug in these irrigation ditches at our neighbor's house, who generously offered a few rows, so they could double production.
This year Stockton went from being a chicken stomper (yes... it is as bad as it sounds and resulted in one casualty) to being a chicken whisperer. Our feathered friends love him (especially the one in the picture named Rock), and he loves them back. They help him fill his quota for hugs and cuddles most days. Stockton is such an affectionate and joyful boy.
We'll leave this picture small, because it is disgusting. Stockton potty trained this year. Yay! We did have a few mishaps though! After this one, I was yelling for Topher (and on the verge of tears), when he discovered me in this unfortunate state. He asked if he could snap a picture before he helped me clean up. It turned into one of our biggest laughs this year.
Logan and Daddy caught this fish at our favorite spot in Yellowstone this year.
Logan is 7 going on 28. This is him on his first day of second grade. He has big plans for his future and is working hard in school to make them happen. He has been such a responsible hard-working son, and we are so grateful to have him in the family.
Topher revealed the gender of our new addition - due this April - at a little restaurant just outside Vatican City in Rome. We are anxiously awaiting her arrival.
Topher, Lisa (and little sister) took a 10 year anniversary trip and babymoon to Italy, Croatia and Greece. Here we are in the ancient city, Pompeii, with Mt. Vesuvius in the background.
