I cannot believe all that we have accomplished in 5 years of marriage. Time sure does fly when you are having fun and making memories. We have grown together more in spirit, love and family as each year passes. I look back at the last 5 years in awe, and look forward to the future with pure joy and excitement. Blessed beyond measures!

Happy Halloween 2012

Avery started her Halloween with a fun morning at preschool. She had fun playing with all her classmates and enjoyed a special Halloween treat. After school she took almost a 3 hour nap. She must have known that she was going to need her rest for such a fun night ahead.

When daddy got home, they got the wagon ready for their fun night. Mommy had plans to stay back at the house to hand out candy. Our friends Cait and Jared came over for some Halloween fun, and Cait helped mommy pass out candy.

Avery did not fully understand the concept of trick-or-treat, but she sure had a blast going to peoples doors and getting candy. After nap, she took a trip to Grammy and Pepaw's house, where she got some special Halloween treats.

Checking out her treats from Grammy and Pepaw.

Ready to go!

Daddy helped her ring the doorbells.

On to the next house.

Uncle Ian and Mr. Jared joined daddy and Avery on their trick-or-treat adventures. They must have had a lot of fun because they did not get back till almost 8pm. Avery also did a lot of walking as she was not interested in riding in her wagon. The wagon was still put to good use, as it carried all her belongings and the boys beverages.

Uncle Ian, Winston, Daddy, Avery and Jared.

Little David

I often time read my friends' friends' blogs in my downtime (aka when Avery's napping). While catching up on our good friends blog, The Stephens, I clicked on one of the blogs in Amanda's "friends" column. I began to read the story of a loving family with twins, one of whom had always required some type of assisted airway device. As I continued to read, I learned the story of Little David. His contagious smile and that fact that he received a lot of his care at UNC both attracted me to this blog. Little David had surgery several weeks ago for the reconstruction of his airway and potential decanulation (this is when you get your trach removed for my non medical readers). I began praying for David and following his progress via his mother's blog. Monday I was working our Tarheel 2 aircraft, and we made a trip up to UNC. On my final trip to UNC that evening, I was able to meet Little David and his strong, sweet and loving mother, Langley. David was signing helicopter when I asked him if he would like to see our helicopter at UNC. It was my pleasure to be able to show David Tarheel 2 and give him and his mother a little escape from their hospital room. I admire Langley, she has a never-ending love for her child and untouchable faith. Little David is a very sweet boy and seeing his smile as he sat on the seat inside the helicopter brought pure joy to my heart. I am happy to report that Little David has been discharged from the hospital and is home with his family. Please join me in praying for the continued good health and development for Little David. As I told Langley, I can't wait to see a blog post about Little David talking and doing all the things a 2 year old boy does.

I told you he is adorable!!! Little David in Tarheel 2.

This month is also the end of the annual Raleigh Mustaches for Kids. This is a local charity that Trey has participated in for the past five years. As much as I am not a fan of his mustache, it is a great cause and 100% of the donations go to the NC Children's Promise, which is the big fundraiser for the NC Children's Hospital. I am so proud of Trey and all the guys growing. I am also fortunate to see all the great things that occur with these donations through my job at UNC. Please take come time to check out the Raleigh Mustache for Kids website, and I promise your donation is worth every penny and tax deductible!

Here is a picture of some of this years participants with some creative Halloween costumes!

Just Like Daddy

Avery adores her daddy and always wants to do what daddy is doing. She even follows him into the bathroom...I know TMI. Here are some pics of daddy's little girl helping him with some recent home projects.

Fair 2012

On a gorgeous afternoon we made a trip to the fair with Avery's grandparents, cousins and Aunt Robyn. Pepaw and Grammy got the big girls out of school early and we all went to the fair when Avery woke from an early nap. She was all smiles and ready for a fun day. Lots of pictures to capture all the fun...

On the way to the fair.

We all enjoyed turkey legs, corn on the cob and lemonade right when we arrived.

Avery loved all our favorite fair food, but the corn was one of her favorites.

Avery and Mommy on her first fair ride. She enjoyed most of it, but got a little started when Dumbo started going up and down rather fast. Think is shocked Mommy too!
