Carlson Fun

It's been a fun and exciting few weeks for us! It was difficult to choose which pictures to share! Here are just a few of my favorites!

Thanksgiving was a wonderful day spent with family! Thank you Linda for hosting all of us in your home!!!

I really like this picture of the Cain family! Looking forward to taking another just like it with Lindsey at Christmas!!!


These two could be on Dancing with the Stars someday!!! They are my little stars!






Last weekend we went to Chicago and were so happy to be able to visit Pete, Emily and Alaina! As we were coming down the hall to their home, we could hear Alaina giggling. When she saw us she ran down the hall and jumped into my arms! I would love to have a greeting from her like that everyday! What an angel!

Pete and the boys enjoying the view. You'd think it was summer in this picture but it was only 20 something degrees! Hearty midwest guys!!!

This just warms my heart seeing the kids all together!
Pete and Isaac even had some time to have a Guitar Hero duel.

I was sad when I got home and realized I didn't get a picture of Emily! I so enjoyed our visit!!! Emily you are a blessing and I'm thankful you're a part of our family!

After our visit we went to the United Center in Chicago for Star Wars in Concert. There was an exhibit of Star Wars memorablia which the kids had been waiting to see. The crowds made it difficult but we did our best!

This gives an idea of what it was like ... a full symphony with screen behind. The music was fantastic and it was more than we could have expected. It was inspiring for the boys to continue with music!

There were close-ups of the orchestra on the screen -- this was Isaac's favorite watching the trombone players and how FAST they could move that slide!

Hmm...I might be inspired to actually watch the movies too!


Looking forward to Christmas with the family!
Love, Joy

  2. We were so glad you could come visit! It was so fun seeing how great the boys were around Alaina.
    I am ok with the fact that you didn't get a picture of me :) I try to avoid the camera these days since I have a lot more mass..hehe
    I hope we can all get together again soon with Addison too! We'll have to plan a trip up to Ishpeming after Addison is born and the flu season has passed, and we'll make sure to stop and say hi to you all on our way up!
