The Golackson 4 had quite a lively household the past few weeks! We had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving with Lindsey's folks, her brother Phil, her sister Nat and husband Tim. The weather was just incredible! The boys enjoyed a football game at Goose Island while the ladies (& Cade) tanned on the sidelines ;). We are treasuring every single moment with our family and friends as the day of departure approaches.

Last Saturday little Lily turned TWO! The "terrible two's" are finally official. ha ha. I actually think they're the "terribly humorous two's" since it seems we are laughing all the time at something silly... like calling Josh "Josh." Why not? Momma calls him that. Or saying "Shhh. Stop talking please." Oops. Maybe I've used that one one too many times ;) One of my favorites is after nap time, "Momma, come on please. Lily's awake!"

We had a great time at Lily & Caedmon's joint birthday party (he will be 1 in February, but we'll be out of the country). Lily just loved all the decorations and couldn't wait for Caedmon to wake up from his nap to show him. Seeing lots of family and friends was so exciting for the kiddos (us too). Have fun checking out a few cute (and random) shots!

Fun times at the Children's Museum with Nai nai & Ye ye... where's the fire?!

So many things to do... learning: to play piano,

all in 1 day.



Lily was so funny to watch as she CRUISED through the "grocery store"

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY

According to tradition, Lily only had 1 boyfriend. With Lily's help, Caedmon had 0 girlfriends.



of course, Lily's cake was the chocolate one


Caedmon's third piece...



Caedmon's cheerleaders Bonnie & Randa

"You can do it!"


What a helper! (and in heels!)


Such a fun day!

Liken the beard my man! I've always liked you with some hair on the face. I bet you never knew of my secret attraction to your bearded face. Wait, did I just say that?

Anyway, the birthday party looked sweet. Keep lovin and livin y'all.

Hey Linds;

(And Josh, and Lily, and Caedmon...)

It's Katie Groves. I just finally got to view your blog, and I've had so much fun looking at all of your pictures and reading about all of your adventures.

Linds, I really miss you. I'm almost done with finals, and I would love to come hang out with you and your kids so we can catch up. I'll have to show you my wedding pictures!

Luv,
KaTiE
