What happened over the past 5 months??

SNOW????

Yes, I know, it's only a little, but this is what I woke up to this morning. BRrr... It's sooo cold! The high today was about 36 - the wind chill this morning....20!!!

This is love

So excited to see Daddy!

Nine Months

Yes, that's right. No hands! Crazy isn't it? He's actually getting really good at walking. He still only goes short distances, but when he thinks you're not watching, he goes for it!

Liliana's First Make-Over...and a surprise

Liliana and I went to Madison's 8th birthday party on Saturday. It was at Claire's in the mall. Liliana had a blast being girly with Maddie and her friends. They all got make-up on (yes, even Lili - can't tell, can ya?) and their nails done. They got to wear tiaras during the party and Aunt Susan took them out to ice cream afterwards. Liliana got a special treat as well. She got her ears pierced! She wanted it done and Ira and I decided that it was fine since she asked for it to be done. I think it looks cute! I have to admit, I'm a little excited about picking her out some cute earrings for her Christmas stocking too! Wonder if I can find Thomas earrings? Hmmm.....

Lots of fun

The kids and I went down the mountain Tuesday to go and see Jeremy and his family. Liliana absolutely loves Juliana. Those two are the funniest little girls ever. They are a sight to see! Graves and Amen I am sure will be equally as amusing soon. Right now they kind of look at each other. Unless Crystal picked up Graves, then THAT made Amen pretty mad. He wasn't too keen on sharing his mommy!

Pumpkin Patch...

We had a great time getting pumpkins last weekend at our local roadside pumpkin "patch". Too bad we don't have a real one in Boone. Oh well, we had fun anyway!

Snuggly Girl...

Liliana loves to snuggle with mommy and daddy before bed. She is such a sweet girl!

Cleaned up and ready for bed...

Poor Sampson ;) He really loves Liliana.

Beautiful kids...

aww... aren't they sweet. Haha, little pills sometimes but I really love 'em!

Meet Sampson...

I know it hasn't been long since we lost Sadie, but I'm such a dog person - when the opportunity to get this dog came up, I just couldn't pass him up.

This is Sampson. He is about 4 years old and a Golden Retriever (mix?). He is HUGE. He weighs about 100 pounds and his shoulders and Lili's shoulders are level to each other. He is soooo very sweet. He loves to play ball and eat treats and be loved on. He is very careful not to knock the kids over when he walks past them. He's just an all around great dog. Liliana loves him!

More Fun with Madison...

On Saturday morning Liliana, Graves, and I got to take Madison to her cheerleading at the high school. It was a lot of fun. Liliana really enjoyed watching Madison "dance". Maddie did a great job! We hope to get to see her cheer again before the season is over!

P.S. The bleachers were a new fun thing for Liliana as well ;)
