Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope that everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving. This is the time of year that we really think about how greatful we are for all of our wonderful family and friends. Thanks for being such a special part of our lives. Of course we are most thankful for our most precious gifts, our two beautiful little girls. Here they are today in their Thanksgiving outfits.

Braenna is Five Months Today!

Today is Braenna's big 5 month birthday! She is growing so fast! This was another busy month for her. She's been working hard at learning to roll over and is getting stronger and stronger by the day. She loves to play on the floor and just kick around. She is up to 15.5 pounds now! What a big girl! We started cereal this last weekend also, she's not quite sure she likes it just yet. The best thing ever though was today...she has learned to giggle and we got it on tape. Check out the cutest video ever:


Here are also a couple of recent pictures of our little angel:

October 2008



I can't believe that it is November already! Where did October go? And is fall ever going to come to Texas? We have had a very busy month in October. We went up to Chicago a few weeks back as you saw in my last post. We've also had a lot going on with respect to Halloween. Last weekend we had "Fall Festival" at daycare on Friday evening. The kids painted pumpkins, played games and got to go to a petting zoo. Then on Saturday we went to a kids Halloween party at a friends house. It was great fun for Mikaiya, they had a big inflatable slide and a bounce house. She got to meet a lot of new kids and participate in a costume parade. She won "Best Jewelry"...maybe you can guess why from this picture:


Braenna went as a kitty cat and won "Best Whiskers":



Both kids had a blast on Halloween. They had a Parade of Costumes at school, which was fun. Braenna actually stayed awake for this parade! Then Mikaiya got to come home and go Trick or Treating with Riley across the street. It was a gorgeous night, so after trick or treating, all of the neighbors got our their lawn chairs and hung out in the front yard handing out candy. It was a lot of fun.

Here's the link to the pics for the month...hope you enjoy!
