November 2016

Autumn's first visit to Arizona. Boy were these two little ones excited to play with her! They planned for weeks in advance seating placement at the dinner table and in the car! 
We all had a great time catching up and having some fun together. What a blessing to be in contact with Micah and his wonderful birth family. 




We adore getting lost in books together and independently! Micah has become an avid reader and is reading at least at a 3rd grade level.  What joy to see his love of books flourish. 
This boy also has some mad "hitching"/packing skills... just like his Daddy! 

Celebrating the boys Forever Family Days with Cafe Rio and Menchie's. How blessed our family is!!
One Saturday we hiked a portion of The Lost Dutchmen" trail with a dear family from church, the Needhams. What stunning views and excellent weather. 


Tin Whistle time
Mommy and Shiloh's first official "date" at Chipotle. Oh, how special and big Shiloh felt! He is such a big-hearted, cuddle-bear, strong-willed and life of the party kind of boy! Cannot imagine life without him! 
Our first Thanksgiving in AZ
We all decided to combine our efforts/resources this year. Tim & Alexa hosted and I prepared most of the meal. We decided to go non-traditional this year and it turned out just great and was nice break from the usual turkey meal. 
So blessed to be this man's wife. 
Missing the other Ahlmans but still had a lovely time.
Signing the Thanksgiving tablecloth - might have to steal this idea, Alexa! 

Love getting to live closer to my big sister and do more life together here in the desert. 
 


Uncle Tim fun time! 
Hitting up the Olive Mill
Another first for Micah - he began piano lessons with Ms. Elizabeth!
