Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have so, so, so much to be thankful for!!!! During the holidays we always miss our families and we always pray that everyone is having a fantastic time wherever they may be. We had a great day. Jason was on call so we packed up Thanksgiving dinner and decorated the break room. We spent the day at the hospital eating yummy things, playing tag and hide-and-seek in the halls, coloring turkeys, watching a movie, and just hanging out together in pilgrim/indian dress. It was such a fun, relaxing day!!!


I think the kids like Thanksgiving dinner just for the rolls....

Except for our little carnivore.....






After we got home we had a pumpkin/berry pie (THANKS HEATHER!) and hot chocolate party with a few of the girls. Thanks for a great time, you guys!!! Here's Brianna with Sarah. It was nice to have an in-house babysitter for the evening!!

So far in November.......

(Sarah 10 months)

We're just trying to enjoy getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas while making sure the simple and beautiful moments with our kiddos don't pass us by........

Tyler and Jordan like (mostly) the piano. They both practice well without being asked and they like the treats from their teacher.



We talked about Election 2008 every day until we finally got to VOTE! I loved how the kids were so involved in the process. It seems when I would talk with my kids about the election all the annoying, irritating political stuff would disappear and we would enjoy talking and telling stories about patriotism and good citizenship.



Carter is so good while the kids are at school. He has amazing handwriting and he will draw and color all day! He loves to hang his art work all over the house.



Leaves vs. The Kemps ROUND 3


Hmmm...uh....hmm.... (Stop gloating, Jason, and take off the ridiculous red hat. Now.)



Sarah doesn't like to be on all fours anymore. She took her first step earlier today. I can't believe she will be 11 months old in just a week. She makes us all so happy with all her little antics!

I regret not posting this Jack-O-Lantern grin during Halloween. Love her toothy smile!


Favorite food--she says ma-ma, da-da, ba (bath), and peas.


Favorite book - Ten Little Lady Bugs--she kisses the ladybugs!
