More pictures

Just some fun pictures I took today.

It's been a while

I haven't updated in a while. Life has been busy. Liliana and I both had a nasty stomach bug last week, that consumed our week. It's been a busy month. Nothing terribly exciting, just busy.

Liliana is getting very excited about her birthday coming up. Both of her older cousins have fall birthdays, so she went to their parties and she started talking about her birthday. I can't believe in just over a month she will be 3!! The 2's have finally caught up with her. She is one stubborn little girl! But sooo sweet on the flip side! She says some very funny things and I really should write some of them down. She loves to talk on the phone (when she is in the mood), although when she gets excited to tell something most people have a hard time catching what she says. She is really looking forward to going to see Juliana tomorrow (sorry everyone else is second to Juli, although Grandpa is a close second!).

Graves is doing tremendous! He is really mastered walking and now mostly walks, and rarely crawls. He loves his sister and gives her the biggest smiles. He really really wants to keep up with her. He has learned how to react to her, which is kind of funny I have to admit. If Liliana takes a toy away from him or has something he wants, he sure lets her know it! He's "almost" sleeping through the night (finally!) - I'm really hoping that the pattern continues! Teething hasn't helped this goal though. He cut his 8th tooth last week. Graves is officially in double digits. He turned 10 months old on Monday!

I will try to do better about updating. I have so much going on right now.

For now, I leave you with some pictures of the Miller silliness. I think that this is what both the kids like to do best, be silly!

One Last Trip to Tweetsie in '08

Liliana and I made our final trip to Tweetsie last Sunday before they closed for the season. We'll miss our fun Sunday trips. It was a lot of fun getting to spend some mommy/daughter time this summer. I'm already looking forward to next year! Liliana is too I'm sure! She has been wanting to go to Tweetsie all day long today. It's hard to explain that they are closed.

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!
