This is from Lilly's birthday party and I might be the only one who thinks it's cute. I just love her joy of discovery and her chatter!!

A lesson in sharing

Sam and Lilly were playing so nicely on the floor with their barn so I thought I would shoot some video of them. This is what I got instead......

Lilly's first birthday!!!

October 18th was Lilly's first birthday and we celebrated with cake and some of Lilly's favorite foods! A special thanks to Lilly's Grandma and Buddy for being such wonderful hosts!!

Big Brother Sam helped blow out the candles. I think that he wished he would get some presents too!!

Lilly ate a whole piece of cake!!!

Dinner was Lil's favorites: chicken, french fries and peas!

Lilly and her Great Grandma Ruth

Lilly and Buddy, which is what we all call Ben's Dad. (It's a long story,...)

Lilly got so many cute outfits! This dress will be perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

A visit to the pumpkin patch!!

Sam's class took a trip to the Pumpkin Patch and Grandma Rosie and Uncle Mike were here for a visit so they came along! It was so cold that day! I think Lilly was the warmest one of us all!

We ran through a corn maze and Sam was so excited he ran ahead of us and we didn't see him until the end! He was the first one through!
Getting so tall!!!
Sam got to pick a pumpkin to take home! It was a struggle to choose just one!


Sam got to visit the bunnies before we left. We had a great day.

First day of fall!!!

The first day of fall blew in a week or so ago and we hopped in the car and

drove to the nearest school playground to fly Sam's kite!

We had a great time and got the kite really high up in the air!

It was Lil's first trip there and she had a great time!!

Ben and Lil love falling asleep on the couch every night watching baseball.

I wonder what will happen when the season is over?
