Family Pictures!

Here are some pictures that we had taken last Thursday by Picture This Photography, who are awesome. They did such a great job and took so many wonderful pictures, I had a hard time choosing which ones to put up here. But I hope that you enjoy the ones I chose!

I can not beleive that my sweet angel is almost 7 months old, she is getting big and changing everyday. As of today, she cutting her first tooth! Exciting, but scary. It means that she really is growing up so fast. I love every second of every day that I have with her. She is also sitting up by herself. Another big milestone that we hit last week. She also looks like she really wants to crawl, but can't seem to get both her hands and knees to move at the same time. I will keep you all posted to let you know when she gets her first tooth!!

Christmas Time

Those who know me, know that Christmas time is my favorite time of year. I love the smell of Christmas..but more than that, I love getting everyone's Christmas cards with pictures of the kids/family and an update about everything.

"Trick or Treating"

Sunday night, we went to my sweet friend Keri's parents house to "trick or treat". All we did was walk to a few houses where Priscilla's friends live to show off the babies. We had a blast. Here are a few pictures from that night! Above is sweet baby Charlotte, 9 months old. This is one of Maddies friends!
Doing our best to get a picture of the two of them in their costumes. Maddie was not wanting her hat at all, thus it is missing!

At least one smiled!

Sweet baby Charlotte smiling, such a sweet smile when they are that age, and just learning how to really smile at things!

Halloween

Maddie was a pink bunny! Since bunnies are the theme in her room, it seemed fitting that she be one! I do have to say that she was the cutest little bunny I have ever seen. Also, we had a big weekend. You may notice that she is sitting up by herself in these pictures, that is a new thing for her. She cannot do it for a long time, but long enough. Since I was by myself taking the pictures, this was a good thing. Rob had to work that night and missed her first Halloween; but he was sent tons of pictures!
This is her sitting on the front porch in her AWESOME pumpkin shirt that Aunt Kadie made for her. I am so sad that Halloween is over and we can no longer wear the shirt. But looking forward to many more shirts from Aunt Kadie*wink*!

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we took Madison to pumpkin farm. She loved the pumpkins! We went on farm tour and saw baby calf's, but she was not too interested in them. The above picture was taken at our house when we got back, she was laughing at her daddy!
Here she is in the pumpkin patch with daddy!

Sitting all by herself in the patch, such a big girl!

Anniversary trip

In October, we headed down to the beach for a long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Here are a few pictures from that weekend. The one above is Rob teasing Maddie with a piece of bacon, and she would have eaten it if she could have!
These are pictures of Maddie in her bathing suit just relaxing in the chair; and with daddy in the pool swimming.

We had a great time and can't wait to get back for more weekends!
