Play Time

Hula Hoop

We stopped at Party City to check out some Halloween costumes last weekend, but were quickly distracted by the Hula Hoops. Lilly tried it first, and then Jake decided to show her how it's done. Thank goodness I had my camera- this makes me laugh every time I watch!

Lilly's Beauty Shop

This is why I LOVE having girls!! We forgot to take a picture of the back of my head, but there were about 150 bows back there. It looked really great!

Lucy's Baptism

Sweet Lucy Girl was baptized at church last weekend and was on her best behavior the whole time. The dress she is wearing is the same dress Lilly wore, and the same dress I wore when I was a baby. All of her favorite people came to watch her big day, and then everyone came to our house for lunch afterwards. Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate!

Happy Fall!

Puppy Love

Pearl LOVES Baby Lucy! If Lucy is sitting in the floor, Pearl just can't help herself- she has to give her a big kiss right in the face. You can't tell in the pictures, but Lucy thinks it's pretty funny.

"I'm not tired!"

Lilly insisted she wasn't tired at nap time the other day, so I finally gave in and let her read books in her room. This is how I found her.

6 Months Old!!

Can't believe Lucy is 6 months old already, but I can't remember what life was like without her either. She weighed in at 16 pounds and 11 ounces. She was 50th percentile for height and 75th percentile for weight (hopefully that will even out a little bit before high school!) I need to post a picture of her chubby legs asap!~

San Francisco

Jake, Lucy and I went to San Francisco for an ENT conference in September. We saw lots of friends from Rochester and had a great time. I wish I had taken some group pictures of everyone together, but it was SO fun to see everyone. Still don't miss Rochester though! San Francisco was great- we stayed at the Ritz, ate lots of good food, and went to a baseball game. Lucy was a good sport and let us drag her around all over the place and keep her up way past her bed time.
Lilly had a great time with Joy Joy and Poppy!

Lilly's First Day of School

How is she old enough to be in preschool? I don't know- but she really loves it! She is in Ms. Lynda's class this year! They have centers, and a class helper, a letter of the week, and they even do some science experiments. When I picked her up from school, she talked the whole way home telling me everything she did at school. I love that she loves school!

Lucy in her big girl High Chair!

Check out Little Miss Sassy Pants in her Big Girl High Chair! I just really love these pictures, so I had to post them. Lucy is loving her baby food (big surprise- she's a good eater!) She didn't really care for rice cereal, but she enjoys her oatmeal every morning. So far, she's tried squash, sweet potatoes, pears and peaches.

Tiny Dancer

Lilly had her first dance class last week. I have pretty much been waiting for this day for the last three and half years!! In her class, she's learning tap, ballet, and tumbling. She loved every minute of it, and after just one class, she's already perfected her bow. What a natural. Don't worry, there will be a recital in May and your all invited. Here she is showing off a few of her moves before class!

On a side note, check out the new paint color of our entrance hall. I'm really loving it!

Country Club Camp Out

The Riverchase Country Club hosted a camp out on the Golf Course. They grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and even had a giant movie screen. Lucy and I went for dinner and then came home when it started getting dark. Jake and Lilly stayed to brave the wilderness and sleep in the tent. However, due to the creepy crawly bugs that somehow found their way into the tent, Lilly was home by 11. That's my girl!

Mom and Pop's House

We went to visit Mom and Pop at the beach! We swam in the pool, went on some boat rides, and ate at lots of fun restaurants. Lilly and Jake even swam in the bay. Joy Joy and Poppy came too. Here's a few pictures:

The Boat Rides were so much fun!
