Meeting Elena and preparing for Christmas

The kids were also able to meet their adorable cousin Elena over the Thanksgiving holiday. They had so much fun with her!! I tried to upload some pictures of them with Elena but unfortunately it didn't work (not sure why). But there are some great pictures on Elena's blog which is www.mickandjimmie.blogspot.com

Visit from Nona and Halloween

"Nona" came to visit us in NC. We spent the weekend with her in New Bern.

Isabelle was a princess (of coarse!) and Sebastian was an astronaut for Halloween. Here they are with their friends Katie and Keven while going trick-or-treating.

Playing minature golf!

I (Maria) got the chance to visit my sister in California and meet my new little niece, Elena. She was only about two and a half weeks old when I was there!

The proud parents!!

She is so super cute!
