Tradition

When I married Sarah I never thought of all the ways that my life would change. Marriage is the joining of two lives into one delicious cohesive milkshake, probably chocolate. Tradition is one of the most important things to Sarah and I, and this Thanksgiving we decided to pick up one of the things that Sarah's mom used to do with her every turkey day. Betsy, Sarah's mom, was a very creative person and she would always have some kind of craft for her family to work on Thanksgiving Day. So the Perkowski's decided to incorporate this very same activity into our festivities this year, and I must say that I was impressed with the results.

This is Jordan and I hard at our work. Jordan created another masterpiece that celebrated his one true love.....World of Warcraft.

This is my mom hard at work on her second ornament. Her first on is the angle that is located at the top of the picture.



This one is mine. And I must say it is super sexy.

My dad blew us all out of the water in his true artistic fashion.

I saved the best for last. Her is my wifey and her work of art. I love her so much and we had so much fun working on these Christmas decorations. If any of you are interseted in purchasing them the starting price is $100. Remember this is authentic Polish Christmas Decor. Have a great Thanksgiving weekend and a wonderful pre-Christmas celebration.

Happy Thanksgiving

We wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Hope it is enjoyable for all and wish we could all be together. Please be safe in all your travels. I know that this picture has nothing to do with Thanksgiving but mom and grandma have asked for a picture of "mom and dad" so here you go.

Our Little Reader

Well since I just posted on Elijah and mom is going crazy for a picture of her granddaughter, I thought that I would post a picture or two of our little reader. Jeremy was just saying this morning how happy he is that our kids love books.Hope everyone has a great week.

Our Amazing Son

Both of our children are very smart but our son has jumped ahead a little and I wanted to show you all his brilliance. He started doing this a week ago but tonight is the first time we have been able to catch him doing it.The beginning is a little cut off and at the end I have him repeat a couple of letters because of the way he says it is hilarious. Hope you all enjoy. Also...this is really good for his age right? Or am I just a really proud mom?

Tag You're It...

I think this is a really fun idea!! Thank you, Amy, for the tag. I am going to tell you 6 things about Jeremy and he is going to tell you 6 things about me.

Six Things About Sarah:
1. She stole a car when she was a Sophmore. This is a long story that she will have to tell you. Lets just say that she is not allowed to drive in the state of Ohio.
2. Sarah was a drama geek in high school (I have pictures to prove it)
3. Sarah has the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen. They seem to change depending on her mood. Some have even said that they glow red when she is mad. But most of the time I could spend hours staring into them.
4. Sarah begs for "belly button time" (She likes to stick her finger in my belly button)
5. We both ran up $300 phone bills when we first started talking. Seriously we would talk for hours on end. She would stay up all night with me then go to work the next day. What a trooper!
6. Sarah has one of the most giving hearts that I have ever come in contact with. I seriously think that she would do anything for anybody. "Hey, Homeless guy! You need a place to stay? Why don't you come live with us!!!!" Those of you that think the above is a joke I swear that it is not. It is one of the things that I love most about her.

Ok, now 6 things about Jeremy...
1.Jeremy HATES, I mean HATES talking in front of people. I find this every interesting for two reasons. One, he is a teacher, he talks in front of people all day long. Two, he is the most amazing speaker. He has such a way with words and his delivery of those words are just as amazing.
2.Jeremy loves those huge furniture/home appliance stores. When we were dating we would go to the Great Indoors in Summerlin and pretend we were picking out our kitchen, living room...so on and so forth. He really has great style.
3. Jeremy loves foam soap...but not the fruity kind at Bath and Body Works(he will "deal with it but...")no, no he loves the childrens pump and likes it even better when its colored(blue is his favorite, I think)
4.Jeremy's major in college was History not English. He has only ever taught English.
5.Jeremy often says that I married him for his mother...depending on conversation that we are having at the time, often I tell him that is the truth.
6.If Jeremy were a girl he would have been named Sunshine Rose. This is not a lie.Ask Linda if you do not believe me.

That was so much fun. We are tagging Mom and Devyn and Michael.(hopefully this will force Devyn and Michael into starting a blog sooner rather then later...we will see.)

Reminiscing

So in less than one month our BABIES are going to be 2 years old. When our hard drive crashed we lost all of the baby pictures from birth to one year but my dad had alot from Christmas last year when we went home and I thought that I would put up some comparison pictures. It is amazing how much they have grown.She has the same amount of hair then as she does now...

Happy Halloween

So I REALLY and I mean REALLY screwed up!! Who knew that it was going to be 95 degrees in October??? Anyway, when I got the costumes I never thought that it would be this hot and so sadly we did not have a very good halloween. On Monday we went to Shawn and Chelsea's church for a trunk-or-treat which was alot of fun however our kids were AWFUL. I blame it on how hot they were and it was past their bed time. Jeremy told me on the way home that he was never taking our children out of the house again, and yes it was that bad. I felt bad for Shawn and Chelsea...but on a happier note Chelsea made chilli for trunk-or-treat and it was sooo good. Here are some pictures that we were able to get in between the screaming and crying.Hope everyone elses halloween was better then ours.
Cora was Super Girl!!!She looked so cute.
