Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart

This year we are so thankful for our family ....

Matthew is growing like a weed ... I can't believe he is 2 1/2 years old already ...

We have started to introduce his big boy bed and the big boy potty ...

We started our Thanksgiving holiday by driving to Bristol and spending time with my family and my brother in law's family ...

Getting the table decorations ready ...

Matthew and Abby ... so sweet!

Going on a walk after our wonderful meal ....

I am also so grateful for my wonderful husband ... he works so hard to provide for his family ...

he races home to be with us after work and every night and puts Matthew to bed ...

he is always helping around the house and willing to do whatever I need him to do!

He is such a blessing!!!

The second part of Thanksgiving ... we came back to Chattanooga to host Michael's family...

Saturday started with a trip to Creative Discovery Museum ...

All the boys had so much fun ... there is so much to do when you have friends to play with!

Gigi and Papa Jay joined us for church on Sunday and we had so much getting into the Christmas spirit with them ... Gigi finds the cutest hats!

The Reardon Clan 2010

Once again we are so thankful for the love and support from our family.

But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children – Psalm 103:17

Michael and I seeing YARN (another awesome band)

Most years Michael and I go alone ... but this year Amber and Jade joined us for the fun ...

On Saturday during the festival they had a "kids area" ... it was awesome ... Mom and Matthew came and played ... he got a cupcake, played with bubbles and even touched a lizard

(Notice in the above picture Matthew's tongue is out ... he does that when he concentrates)

Like I said before ... we go every year ... not only for the amazing music ... but my wonderful mom watches Matthew for us and we get to reconnect and have a duty free weekend!

Choo Choo ... Happy Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year ... Matthew is just starting to get into the holidays!

At Monster Bash 2010 at Creative Discovery Museum

Fun picking out our pumpkins for decorating the front of our new house ...

Another fun part of this holiday was our amazing neighborhood ...

We had a block party before going trick or treating ... it was a great way to meet our neighbors!
