Naomi and Colin.... Married!

This has been a huge year for Medley weddings. Miriam started out with last December, then Gideon in July, Jared in September, and Naomi, last but not least on the 24th of this month! We have a gap in age until the next child so that's it for a while! What a great year, full of sister talks, family laughs, memories and beauty! Thanks to all who helped this be one of the greatest years ever!

While You Were Sleeping

Kayla is turning three on Friday. I can hardly believe it.
This year, we wanted to get Kayla a princess bed on a pauper's budget. I found a cute little white wooden toddler bed at Kid to Kid (a used kids store) for $17. Sean and I went to Home Depot and bought a pink spray paint, 3 cans for $10.00. Tonight, after Kayla went to bed, Sean and I spent a few hours in the garage painting the bed Kayla's favorite color. Every day I see Sean as a father. But tonight, it was different. I fell in love with the sweet way he so carefully painted the bed evenly. I knew that every time he continued to touch up the little flaw spots, it represented the true love a father has for his little girl.

Halloween

And the reason I hate Halloween: (weeks of sticky candy)

And the reason I love Halloween: (The happy smiles after a great night of trick or treat)
