Our favorite trick-o-treater :-)

It is hard to believe that it is mid November! It has been a great month...busy! Andy and I went to New York City with Ashley and Levi for 4 nights...yes that meant leaving the Mabes! She had so much fun with my mom, and also with my dad and Gaye. She was...is spoiled! I am in awe of the city. It was so much fun. We crammed as much as we could in the time we were there. Pizza in the middle of the night, walking around in Times Square, shopping, Cirque de Solei, more eating, Chinatown, Little Italy, Today show, Rockafeller Center, Double decker bus, Central Park, FAO Schwartz, Tale of Two Cities, meeting up with Sarah, Amelias and Janisha Fletcher!!! It was an amazing trip and amazing birthday!

Thank you for all my birthday wishes!!!

Where do I Start...

Since I haven't blogged in about a month it is hard to know where to start. It will be quick considering I have a full day ahead of me and for some reason was up extra early this morning. I will start with a verse I read in my quiet time this morning, I am reading through the Psalms and Proverbs right now and thought this was appropriate, especially today - Election Day. Psalm 12:7 You, Lord will guard us, you will protect us from this generation forever. I don't know exactly how that applies but I do know that what ever happens in the elections and in our future the Lord is watching over us, He is our Protector. That is good, very, very good! I would love to add some pictures, but I don't what I have uploaded - I will check after I type. Jill blogged about our night of trick -or-treating. So if you want to check out a cute little Winnie-the-Pooh bumble bee, scarecrow and firefighter then hit the link (the Pope family) on the right side of my page). My friends probably have more blog posts on us than I do, considering that I am a blog slacker! What else is up...tomorrow Andy and I leave to go to NYC with the Perigo for a little birthday celebration!!! Yeah, we are so excited. Mabry is going to be SPOILED with g-mommy, papa and gg. They better not create a little monster! Speaking of Miss Mabry, we are gradually working on potty training :-) She tee teed and pooped in the potty this weekend! Yeah for all of us! M & M's is her reward...she is always anxious to jump right back on for "more MM's pease." That does not mean she is always going on the potty, but we are very proud of her! Mabry is going to be a big sister in May! We are 14 weeks on Friday and are so thrilled to add a new little Hanlon to our household! Mabry will say big sister and talk and kiss the baby in mommys tummy. So cute! Mommys tummy sure is bigger than it was with Mabry at 14 weeks! I have been feeling great, just tired, oh so very very very tired. Hopefully some energy will come back soon! Ok, time to get ready for school, voting and packing....big day ahead!

Love,

:-) L.A.
