9 Months!

I can't believe this little guy is 9 months old! He's growing up so fast, but we sure do love every minute with him! He's such a happy, smily baby...

We love our Beckham!!!

Welcome to Grenada!

Since we've been down in Grenada for a few weeks now, I decided I should probably put up a few pics of where we live...so here you have it!

6. Home for the summer

7. Great North Run

8. Edinburgh

9. Dublin

10. Christmas

Go Cougars!

All geared up to watch yesterday's bowl game...

Dublin

Sean hates to shop. I love to travel. So when my birthday was coming up and we had a few free days after Sean finished finals and before we left England to come home for the holidays, he asked if I wanted to go to Dublin for my birthday. A win-win situation for both of us (plus he gets to benefit from my birthday present too, haha :). We flew into Dublin on Sunday morning and left Monday night, so it was a quick trip, but it was lots of fun!

St. Patrick's Cathedral

Dublin War Memorial

Ha'Penny Bridge

Spire of Dublin

I think this was everyone's favorite part of the trip...relaxing in the hotel

Thankful

This year I have so much to be thankful for. For a roof over our head, food to eat, our health, the opportunity to be in England for Sean's schooling...I could go on and on and probably make all of you bored. But what I am most thankful for this year is for the people in my life...

For friends back home who you can go months or even years without seeing, but who make it seem like no time has passed when you finally do see them...

For friends we've made here in England who have opened their homes to us and have helped us in ways too numerous to number...

For parents who have always been there for me and who I've never appreciated enough. For my dad who would do anything for anybody, no questions asked. For my mom who is my ultimate example of unconditional motherly love. I love you both so much!

For siblings who are some of my very best friends...

For in-laws who've welcomed me into their family and have always made me feel at home...

But mostly this year, I am thankful for these two...

LOVE these boys!!!

For Sean who works so hard everyday at school to achieve a dream he's had for years; who always makes time in his busy days to spend with Beckham and I; who can always make me laugh; who is my best friend and the love of my life. Sean--you are a wonderful husband and an amazing daddy!

For Beckham who is the other love of my life; who can melt my heart with a simple smile; who gets so excited when he sees his daddy (he's daddy's little dude); who makes our family complete and who I'd do anything for. Beckham--I am so lucky to be your mommy!

If you're reading this, chances are you are one of those people I am thankful to have in my life. I love you all and hope you can all find as much to be thankful for this holiday season as I have.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
