In my ongoing effort to keep you up to date on the happenings of the Goodmans, here is my latest installment.

Gary decided that it was time for Justus' first camp-out. They braved through the night into the Goodman backyard. (Despite the look of it, that is not a crop circle under the tent -- no, no we have finally taken down the pool for the season. Did I say we? Let me say Gary did the hard work of taking down the pool instead.) They emerged victorious and they slept out there the entire night! No wimping out for these two champs!!!

(Did you scroll back up to look under the tent, I would have.)

Bella & myself -- Mommy - Child pics are rare here because I am always taking the pics!

Two sleeping babies, is there anything more peaceful??? Gary and I desperately wanted to go on a date, but we did not have childcare that night. So, we loaded up the kids and went to a drive-in (love em'). We got to watch our movie and the babies slept!

Look at her, she is already practicing her "no kisses here" defense! I love this Father-Daughter pic, it is so sweet.

We just had to stop...If you are not aware yet, Justus is ADDICTED to construction equipment, farm equipment, and emergency vehicles. In fact, I had to learn that this was a front end loader so that I could teach him the correct terminology when he kept asking what it was. Since he got his book about the previously mentioned equipment, he can tell you the names of SO many vehicles! He wanted so badly to ride this one!

TROUBLE,TROUBLE, TROUBLE!!!

She was playing in her pretty Christmas dress while Gary and I finished getting ready. She just looked too cute, I couldn't wait to take a picture!
