and 2 others turned out well. With Grace, we truthfully took 5 pictures,
and all of them are so cute. She wasn't even really wanting to take pictures, and she was not happy about the idea of sitting on this bench, but if we say smile, she will 
where as Thomas pulls strange face after face after face. 
If only he would cooperate he it would go a lot faster..I know I've said it before, but it truly is crazy how incredibly different Grace and Thomas are. Every thing the do in life is opposite. It's hilarious to me that even in potty training they did it different. Grace picked it up so quick and hasn't had a problem in over a week, but still wears a diaper at night, Thomas started staying dry at nights in a couple days, but took months to train. They are similar in weight. Thomas is 30 pounds, and Grace is 27, surprising by true. They also both prefer a blanket and sucking their fingers, of course Thomas kicked that habit at 1 1/2, but they both did it as babies. And they both love being around each other. Nothing warms my heart more than seeing them be sweet to each other.
These last few weeks have been a blur. I always thought when Nolan was done traveling we would be bored staying at home for long periods of time, and not be packing and unpacking, but if anything we just fill that with other activities. We're really enjoying Walla Walla though, and the nice fall weather. Last week Nolan did have to go to California for a week, and I was very jealous, but we survived our week alone. We are staying put the rest of November, so we'll be geared up for traveling at Christmas. I am very happy today because I officially just pushed the order button on the last Christmas order we should be making this year. My goal was to finish before Thanksgiving, but I did it early, and am so thrilled to have that behind me and just enjoy the next month and a half of activities. Happy Fall everyone!

Very very cute Ashley. And little Grace, such a cutie. I love the one with her hands on her face. I am glad you are liking staying put for a little while. I am very impressed you are done with Christmas shopping. I started out so good but I am not done yet.
DONE WITH CHRISTMAS SHOPPING! Impressive! That means you have my present :)! I'm excited- haha- Such cute pictures of cute, cute kids!
Oh, they are SOO cute!! Love those pictures. That is awesome that you are done Christmas shopping! My husband is bugged that I've started already! I'd like to be done asap! =)
Thomas acts just like Seth when getting pictures taken! It must be a boy thing. Grace is growing up so much! She is so pretty. Good job on being done with shopping, and I thought I was doing good. Not near as good as you. Miss you!
Your kids pics turned out so cute. I love the one you have as your header. Way to go for being done with shopping. I think I need to get started.
You BETTER have done one with the whole fam! I love that WW, W is growing on y'all. Christmas is going to be SO great!! Can't wait. Celebrate. It's fate.
I sure love your kiddos.
Your kids are so cute! They are getting so big! I need to get mine out and do some pictures of them for Christmas cards. I'm so jealous you are done with Christmas shopping! I usually try to be done by Thanksgiving but I've hardly done any shopping yet this year. It's so nice to be able to just sit back and enjoy the holidays with that out of the way! I hope you and your family enjoy the holidays. :)
Love IT!
Wow I cannot believe how big your kids are getting! They are so cute!!!! I love these pictures! Glad to see your doing well. We miss you guys!!
Cute I love the pictures! I think they turned out great!
Super cute! The pictures of Thomas and Grace together are precious! I agree that there is nothing more heart warming than your kids loving and being sweet to one another. You'd never know Thomas is difficult to photograph - his little smile is perfect. It's funny to hear how different him and Grace are...so far Beck and Ingrid seem pretty similar as babies, I wonder how it will be as they both get older. Love all the kids pictures!
the pictures are adorable! I love all of them--even Thomas pulling his funny faces! My fave is probably of Grace laying on the ground with her hands under her chin-so cute!
They are so cute together! That is awesome that they are so close in age :) Im just hoping mine will be within 20 years haha! Your pictures turned out so well! Enjoy your month at home!
Wow, I'm so jelous you're already done shopping! Can you do my list now?? jk. Sorry Nolan's been gone. That's hard for a week! Cute pics. at the park. Our kids are so similar!
Those pics are darling. I am SOO impressed you can get great photos so candidly and easily. I am also impressed/jealous that you are finished with Christmas. My goal is to finish it all before Thanksgiving too...I guess I better get my bootie in gear (I have only purchased one thing, but I do think I have a plan).
WOW you are done shopping, IMPRESSIVE! Very cute pics of the kids, love the area! It is really beautiful there!
Oh and the answer to the question is I won't know until Christmas. But as soon as I find out I will post it! I am dying to start getting things in order.
Cute pictures!! Good job! And you are done with shopping?! HOLY COW. Yikes, I need to get a move on it. I have 2 gifts, and that's it. yeeesh.
Those pictures are awesome! How cute! Macie is sitting by me and pointing at Grace saying, "that's Me!" So funny! I guess they do both have short blonde hair.... I can't believe you are done with shopping. It hasn't even been on my mind yet. Oh boy!
done shopping already! I haven't even started. It doesn't help that we have 3 birthdays right before Christmas.
Your comments about how easy it is now with your older kids. Time for #3!!
I'm so jealous you're done shopping! You're going to miss out on all the Thanksgiving sales - lucky! I've got so much more to do. I at least got yours done! Thanks for making it easy! The pictures of the kids are so cute. It looks so beautiful there. It was good to talk to Nolan. I had to come on here and see how different your kids are. I was just telling Nolan how different Parker and Ashley are. What a coincidence that you just posted about that same thing! I'm glad to hear you're coming to Malta after Christmas! We'll be so happy to see you.
Awhhhh, what sweethearts! I love these pics, they turned out really great Ashley!
Whoooo needs a professional! Those pictures are the BEST!! Soo cute
Those two are so darling!! I love the pictures! You did a great job. Congratulations on getting your shopping done. My goal is the end of Nov. I've never done it but this year I think I will! Wish we could see you more!
Wow, your kids are so cute. Grace is so photogenic (spelling?) What a cutie. Thomas is so handsome too. I miss you guys and can't wait to see you too at Christmas! I have two more presents to buy and then I will be done too! It feels good, huh!
