Caffeine surprise

Not too long ago Mike and I made our normal order for Grounds for Change Coffee. We usually get a box of 6 bags of coffee, so that it lasts us a long time. A couple days after receiving our caffeine treasure box in the mail, I received another shipping confirmation from the company. I told them it must be a mistake, since we already received our order. Indeed, it was confirmed as a mistake, but they couldn't take back the shipping, so they told us to keep the second shipment for free. Who can pass that up? Except, when it arrived days later, this is what I found:


As you can see, that FIVE POUND bag of coffee is larger than our gallon of milk. Holy crap. So we will be sharing coffee this holiday season with everyone we know.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting with the professional photographer who took our family photos last week to view those photos. They turned out great, and I had a seriously hard time choosing what to order, and keeping the order under $500 (don't freak out: we're also doing photos as Christmas gifts for family, it wouldn't be $500 for just us :)
I tried to break some copyright laws and copy the photos from her website into this blog, but oh-so-un-tech saavy me couldn't figure it out. So if you are interested in viewing my gorgeous boys (said in sugary sweet mommy voice), you can check them out here: Black Photography.)

Yesterday Benj turned 7-months-old. Yikes, he's more than half way to that first birthday party. But he keeps getting cuter, so we'll allow him to grow a bit more.

Here are some photos from our Thanksgiving(s):

Jack was a huge fan of the singing&dancing tree


Not everyone found this infinitely amusing


Cousin Brian, Aunt Jenny, and Uncle Scott


We wiied for hours on end. Jack thought it was hilarious to watch us play the sporting games.

I think Benj resembles his uncle a little bit...


Okee dokee, back to work!
