tick, tock... tick, tock..

Ok, so I started this post 2 weeks ago... and at that point it has been about a month since I updated anything... lets just say... Where does the time go!? Seriously, time is flying by!! Its nearly December, which means 2011 is just around the corner! I just wanted to type a quick update on whats been going on these past few weeks...
First my brother got married!!! I have a beautiful new sister, Sarah - their wedding was beautiful, in down town Fort Worth.. Fun times :)
                              



<--Isn't my brother so handsome??

The Fam ... Jeff, me, Sarah, James, Mom, Dad

Next big event was our sweet nephew and Godson, Paul Joseph Todd was born on November 4, 9 lbs 1 oz! Jeff and I are the Godparents and look forward to his baptism of December 11 :)

 He is ABSOLUTELY precious!! Clearly what has been taking up most of our time... Adam and Jodi only live 5 min away, so of course we are over there visiting our sweet little guy as much as possible! Not to mention the other sweet little Todds that run around that household :)




And I suppose the next event would be Thanksgiving! I'm sad because I totally dropped the ball on documenting our first Thanksgiving as a married couple... but I did get a precious picture of all the older kiddos that were scattering the house the past few days.. and can I just say... I LOVE the holidays, and I LOVE my family!!! Its amazing how perspectives change and the holidays begin to have a deeper and deeper meaning.  I'm so grateful to be able to spend this time with both of our families - since my parents are only 20 min away we also got to go there - and to be starting new traditions with me and Jeff :)

And as we enter into this time of Advent, to celebrate the greatest birthday of them all, I hope each of you get to enjoy every breath, and every tradition, every new beginning, and most of all - every second with your loved ones! And remember every season is a season for Thanksgiving

Peace and Blessings,
The Todds
