Tonight we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary with an amazing dinner at our favorite restaurant, T.L. Maxwells (for those of you who haven't tried it, we highly recommend dropping everything and going there immediately). We enjoyed every minute of our 2 hour dinner and nate had suprised me with a dozen yellow roses (my favorite) and gorgeous earrings for my anniversary present. what a wonderful husband i have! Anyway, we had a great time without the kids (thanks mom & dad) and are very excited about our little milestone.
P.S. Althougth our day ended up great, it started out a little crazy. we had to take matthew into his pediatrian at 8 am this morning as a follow-up to his emergency room visit the night before. thursday afternoon around 4, matty started flipping out because he couldn't take a breathe. he was only able to inhale a small amount, like he was having an asthma attack or something. after giving him a breathing treatment and it not helping, nate rushed him into the e.r. some bloodwork and xrays were done, and on one of his lungs they found a nodule with some flattening around it. the dr. said it looked a lot like pneumonia or valley fever. he was given a steriod shot which helped open up his airway and he was able to breathe much better. so this morning we took him into dr. ho's office and more xrays and blood work were ordered and we should get the results of everything at our appt tues morning. we'll let you know what the diagnosis is when we find out, but in the meantime please pray that he has no more episodes.
Have a great weekend everyone!
This afternoon we took a trip out to Banducci Farms Pumpkin Patch with our good friends, the Congdons. All kids had a great time playing with the pumpkins and all the adults had a great time taking pictures. We are trying to make it a little tradition every year to have "pumpkin patch" pictures 
and almost missed our 
chance (the patch closed at 4pm and we got there about a quarter 'til). The Banducci's have a really fun set up at their farm, complete with a corn maze, pond and animals, so the kids just love it. Caleb was cracking us up with his huge gaping grins :). Luke, Matthew and Jaden spent most of the time running around and being "boys", checking out all of the pumpkins and seeing how many they 
could pick up. Miss Baylee, who is 18 months and just the cutest thing, was fascinated by the pumpkins too, and she kept pointing and saying "punkin". We ended up getting a ton of adorable pictures and had a great time! I will try and post pics of the boys in their costumes tomorrow afternoon.
