Hello Grandma & Grandpa

So, Daddy has been home with Hope this week. He's loving it, but we're still missing Grandma and Grandpa Perry. We thought they might like to see some photos to help them through their Hope withdrawal until Sunday afternoon when we make it to the great north woods for the Thanksgiving holiday. Here are some cute ones. Enjoy.

This is a photo of one of Hope's duties last week. All the wood needed to be moved across the yard and stacked under the tarp before the snowfall. She seemed to have a great time in spite of a scratched up lip from tripping and landing with her face on the piece she was carrying at the moment. She looked pretty tough when I got there to pick her up after work, but it didn't seem to phase her a whole lot. You can see the scrape in some of the photos. It has healed nicely. (Rest easy Grandma.)

What in the world is this stuff??? Hope's first snow:


So, if we're going to have snow, we must have boots. ;) We thought it best to try them on in the house and practice walking. They are a little big, but she'll get the hang of it I think. She sure was having a good time with them. She certainly didn't want them off when it was time for p.j.'s and bed. You'll of course notice the purse. This girl loves to accessorize. We picked up that purse at a garage sale this summer and she plays with it every day. Gotta love the favorite toys that cost a quarter! ;)



I went in one night this week to check on Hope like I always do before I go to bed. This is what I found. Isn't she sweet?

Here is our Sunday football fan. GO PACK GO!!! I won't say too much about last week's game since I know I have many MN fan friends who read this blog. I'll just mention that it was a pretty glorious game. I'd say we Packer fans were due for a season like this against the Vikes. K...I'm done. ;)


We went out with the tripod and took some family photos a couple weekends ago. You can see the trees still had leaves. It was a gorgeous evening and we had so much fun. Here are a few of the smiles we captured.


We'd like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! We will be out of blogging commission for the week (I think?) so we'll just say now that we feel so blessed to call you our family and friends. And, especially this year, we are thankful for our beautiful little girl. She is incredible. Have a fantastic time recounting your blessings next week. We're wishing you quiet moments of wonder, sweet family memories, and many many more years of thankfulness to come.

God bless ~ Beth, Ron, & Hope
