Halloween Fairytale 2011!

Starring the friendly dragon...
And 2 Fairy Princesses...


We again had a little get-together at our house with our cousins. We were kept so busy running to and from the front door handing out candy that going out to other houses didn't even cross our minds...maybe next year.

Love, ME & T

3 Little Pumpkins!

Waiting for the fun to begin...



The first scoop (surprise at who didn't like getting "dirty" and who thought the mess was great)...


Practicing our scariest look while Papa carves the faces...

Bet we scared you!

Fall Fun 2011!

Our blog site may have been quiet this fall but that definitely was not the case for our calendar! In an attempt to highlight some of our favorites from September and October, you just need to look below. Fall 2011 gave us beautiful weather and many fun times as a family!

A day on Grandpa Ken's farm:






Marigold Days Parade:


One last trip to a nearby favorite, Oxbow Zoo:


Some fun in the leaves at the Cabin (for 2 out of the 3 of us anyways!):

One of a couple trips to the apple orchard/pumpkin patch:




A hotel evening get-away for some swimming fun:

Reflecting back on these photos we are feeling the blessings as we enter this season of Thanksgiving! Much love, ME & T

Happy 6-months to Teddy!

Hard to believe I am 1/2 way to the 1 year old marker already! My 6-month MD check up had me weighing 18 1/2 lbs and measuring 27 inches, both between the 75-80th%. This is obviously why I fit easily into 9-12 month clothing...no calling me a little pumpkin!
About 2 weeks after my 5-month birthday I started rolling all over the place. I also pivot all over the place, on both my stomach and back, and do a fairly good job of sticking my bumper up in the air while pulling the blanket when on the floor. My sitting skills are also advancing and I often prefer to be upright when my sisters are sitting by me.

I also love to eat! I continue to enjoy my cereal and also love apple sauce, pears, and peaches. I am not too big of a fan of bananas at the time unless they are blended in a smoothie concoction. My favorite vegetables are peas, squash, and potatoes. Avocados are also a hit. I am not a huge fan of sweet potatoes or green beans but will take a few bites if offered to me.

My hands will grab anything and everything. My poor sister's have learned this the hard way multiple times with their hair...but they will figure it out sooner or later. I continue to be such a wonderful and perfect addition to this family (so I hear) and am very much looking forward to all the holiday celebrations soon upon us!

Happy fall everyone!

Love, Theodore
