Little Bo Peep & her sheep...

Oh no, where has my little lamb gone?There she is!
I caught her! (was not hard... this is an incredibly sleepy sheep!)
Happy Halloween! Click HERE for the rest of the photos of our Halloween fun!

(Oh, I also think it's of note to mention that I made both of their costumes. My Mom helped with the little white shirt under Jillian's while she was here awhile back, but the rest of the sewing I did yesterday and today! (Mostly today- lol) nothing like a deadline to get you motivated!)

Video

This morning Jillian was cracking me up.  She played with "her other friend, Jillian" in the mirror for about 5 minutes before I had to go get the camera to record her.  At the beginning of this video she says:  "Hello Jillian friend... can you find your nose?"  Then she gives herself a high five.  Haha!  So funny!  Later on, she even gives herself a kiss.  :)

Later on in the day, she came out to tell me that the little girl in the mirror was named "Lillian".  I laughed and said, "okay Jilli, that's cool."  About a minute later she came back out and announced:  "Mommy.  Lillian wants a cookie!"  Nice try kid-o!

More Fall/Halloween Fun!

I had Halloween outfits for the girls all picked out, and was wondering what backdrop I should use to take a few photos. Then, as if by magic, there was a knock on the door, and a box from Shere containing this fabulous Halloween quilt. It is SOooo cute! Thank you so much Shere! (Not only for the adorable quilt, but for your phenomenal timing as well!)
Liv sleeps through a lot of photo shoots still...
We went out to another local farm today. Boy was it crowded! Seems like everyone wanted to squeeze in a little more pre-halloween fall fun. Despite the hoards of people, we managed to find 4 perfect pumpkins... One for each of us. Stay tuned for photos of that!

Here's one photo of Ryan and Jilli:
And a shot of Jillian I took to show off her HUGE bow I made. I know, I know, it's extreme. However, it's a "holiday bow" so I figure we can have a little more drama. Thanks to Kelly for your bow tips while I was in AZ!
This is Liv with her best baby friend, Laney. Laney is Tessa's new little sister. Jillian & Tessa, Liv & Laney! Cute group of little ladies! Jillian and her BFF Tessa are about 6 months apart, and Liv & Laney are exactly 6 weeks apart. Turns out Ryan and I are pretty big fans of their parents Nate & Karen too, so things work out perfectly for our families!
That's all for this post. As always, there are more photos, so visit the Shutterfly site to see them all!

Arizona Trip

I am so glad I decided to travel to AZ with both of my little girls!  

I got to spend a "big girl" evening out with these lovely ladies:

And was able to introduce Liv to lots of family and friends!

Here's Liv with my Grandma Ruth:

Pumpkin Farm!

There are lots of people I miss who live in Arizona. Growing up, going through school, college... I have so many wonderful friends there, and a lot of family too! So, sometimes I admit I wonder what it would be like to be raising my girls there...

And then, I go to a farm 5 minutes from my house, where I can get photos like this:And where my little girl smiles at her friends, like this:And where multiple Moms I hang out with will 'spot' my baby so I can take ridiculous photos like this: And, where out in the sunshine with my two beautiful girls, I feel like this:I L-O-V-E fall on the East coast!So, as the song goes: Make new friends but keep the old... I'm happy with that idea, and feel so lucky to have my days filled by our wonderful friends around here. And, (as an added bonus) truly experiencing all four seasons rocks!

I love my life.
