Happy Birthday Emma & Lydia!

Happy 4th birthday Emma! We got to see Emma yesterday to celebrate her birthday. She's getting so big! She had her birthday party last weekend at Chuck E Cheese (see previous post).

Happy 1st birthday Lydia! We went to Lydia's 1st birthday party today. It was a birthday party for a little while and then a Halloween party. There were a lot of people dressed up for both. Lily didn't know what to think of the costumes and when she saw Brad (dressed as the Joker), she pretty much made up her mind that she didn't want to be there. It only got worse for her when she would recognize someones voice, but they didn't look like themselves. We didn't stay very long, and I felt bad. I hope you had a great 1st birthday Lydia.

I've been slacking with the camera lately, it didn't come out for either get together.

Windy!

With the bad wind we had our neighbors fence was damaged, the grill was pushed a bit across the deck and a bunch of sticks everywhere. Thought the back gate was broken, it just blew open. These were taken at night, in the morning there was another part of the fence that was down. I'll get better pictures when it's daylight.

Big Girl Bed

Lily's big girl bed arrived today. Michael put it together in the living room since we needed to finish the stripes in her room. This was Lily checking out her bed for the first time. She now crawls up on her bed on a regular basis, but we haven't made the switch yet. Lily wanted to put all her babies on the bed with her.

Chuck E Cheese Birthday Party

Emma had her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese, we were a little late due to Lily's nap. Lily had a good time, running from game to game and trying a little bit of everything.

Halloween Party

We had my company's Halloween party today. We didn't get there until late because Lily had her tumbling class. I think it was the right amount of time for her. She was a little afraid of the "haunted" house, but Michael was able to coax her in. She played games, got a tattoo, won prizes, made some crafts and had her first Oreo cookie.

A little bit of everything

Lily was practicing the tumbling she's been learning in her class.


Winnie kisses!


Having fun at the park

Happy 7th Birthday Winnie

Happy 7th Birthday Winnie! I can't believe that we adopted her 5 years ago. Winnie is doing great and she looks wonderful. Bean and Winnie are still best friends, and she's a great big sister to Lily. I can't wait to see what she's like with Olivia.
