1st Thanksgiving

Momentous day - not because the girls can really enjoy this day (they get the same food everyday) but because it's the first time they are going to Grandma and Grandpa's house! Also, their first family event! Very exciting... but mostly for the family who passed them around and around. Here's a picture of them ready to go.

Cheese!

When is all this sleepless state worth it? For me, it's when a child makes eye contact, knows who I am and smiles. Today, Sophia smiled at me!

Now there's a difference between smiling randomly and smiling because they know you are messing with their toes. She definitely was the latter and I have witnesses! Too bad my witnesses (husband and mother in law) are jealous that she smiled at me first and therefore, would never admit it.

Here's a pic of her smiling in her sleep.

Happy Halloween!

First Halloween. I didn't have the energy to hunt down costumes that would only be worn once so I made these instead.

Also, we devised a system to have Cody bark less when tricker treaters rang the doorbell and thus scaring the kiddos less. It didn't really work. He just got a lot of treats.
