Pumpkins and Paintings

The other day, Livy and I made mini pumpkin loaves.

"How should I go about eating these?"

"This works!"

"Oh, and this too."

Mini Picaso hard at work

I wish I had more pictures of the aftermath.
Oh yes, we had paint EVERYWHERE!



Well worth it for this great fridge art

Sensational!

We had the opportunity to take a 3 day cruise this past weekend! So, we could not pass it up. Here are some pictures from our adventure to the Bahamas on the Carnival Sensation.

Happy Birthday, Gramps!

Now and Then

Now



And then...

We've watched and cared for her each minute of every day for the past 2 years - when did this happen?
It just gets better and better!

P.S. - Thanks NPP! These pics are priceless.

Two Year Check Up

Livy's two year check up went really well.
She weighs 31 pounds (90% percentile) and is 37.25 inches tall (off the charts).
Livy did really well when they checked her hemoglobin and administered the flu shot. She loved the dogs on the band aids they gave her and that made it all better. They also told us that her two year molar is starting to come in on the left side.

We are so thrilled to have a happy, healthy little girl running around!

These pictures were taken by the nation's premier photographer - our very own Gramps.
Thanks for sharing your many talents. We love you!

Babies too!

The babies have to...

be tucked in to bed

go for rides on the tricycle and in the car

have their diapers changed

be walked in the stroller

dance to the music

and of course...


They must EAT too!



Yes, that is applesauce smeared all over the babies.

HAPPY FALL WEEKEND!

Our Zoo Adventure

We had the perfect day at the zoo this morning. It was nice and cool, the animals were all out and about and we got to share it all with Gramps!

Feeding the fish and birds

Watching the silly monkeys

Hanging with the kids from "zoo school"

Making friends near the sea otters

Rafiki really took a liking to Gramps

Perfect zoo adventure!
