Pumpkins!!

Ian planted pumpkin seeds that Nana(Denise) brought us...they've taken off, and it looks like we'll have some nice, big pumpkins!

Our Yard!

It seems as if we've been waiting forever...but our beautiful yard is finally taking shape!!
How many guys do you think it would take to get a bag of rubber bark off a truck?? The freight company didn't tell me that I needed to have help to unload! Thank goodness we had a ton of guys working at our house that day!


But it was worth the chaos! Our yard is coming together...the girls LOVE their playset!


Here's a shot of the deck in progress...it's HUGE!!!

Swim!!

Grace took swim lessons in July/August. She was a bit nervous at first but Mrs Campbell was fantastic with her and Grace quickly became a little "fish"!!!

More Belly!!

This time it's Deb's belly at 36 weeks! Any day now we get to meet little Parker!!

Finally back!!!

I finally took Mia's two year pictures! She is becoming such a ham...enjoying the camera (thank goodness) Here are a few of my favorites!

miss serious

I actually prefer that Mia is miss serious instead of smiling on cue...at least we avoid the cheesy "cheese" smiles!!!

Sisters

Love...my girls really love each other. They love to play together, they love to help each other, and they love to comfort each other. I was so thrilled to see them choosing to hold on to each other when scared or nervous, instead of me. I hope and pray for them that they will have a best friend in each other, someone that they will always be able to rely on for comfort and security. Don't get me wrong, I know they will have their moments when they can't stand each other (as they already do)...however I think that with a little gentle pushing from mommy and daddy, and lots of prayers I really think that my hopes for their relationship will come true.
