A Peek At Our Winter, Part 1

Some snapshots from our winter so far!

My little diva/fashionista...

Who is now almost completely potty trained...

will hate me for these pics one day...

but they are too cute to not post!

More to come, and a winter blog revamp for fun! Happy holidays!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

We've been having fun and enjoying the fall! Here are some peeks!

Dressing up in costumes for halloween play date! What fun. We love our friends!

Audrey was very upset about putting the kitty costume on that we borrowed from Emma. She was SO ADORABLE in it, however, that I could not resist.

She eventually got over it and was even rewarded for not whining anymore. She enjoyed being a kitty for the rest of the morning!

Abby and Nolan, who didn't mind being in his costume, but didn't want to have his picture taken with the rest of the kids! Proof below!

Angie and her beautiful kiddies, Mallory and Joey!

Zoo time with our friends Abby and Nolan! We so enjoy hanging out with them!

Audrey and Daddy snuggles!

Sasha and Daddy snuggles!

Audrey and Mommy snuggles! Snuggles all around!

One more random photo, this time of Audrey unpacking the diaper bag as she does so often, and Gabby investigating the contents. :)

That's all for now from this crazy household!

Oot and Aboot

Audrey and I enjoyed the cool fall weather today. She loves the playground and I love the walks, so it works out. :)

Audrey recently got a package from her Great Grams Thiessen! She LOVES the Tinkerbell jammies! (and the Dora doll not pictured. She will love the pretty pink photo book as well when I can find some pics to put in it!) We love you Grams!!!

Snippets From Recently

Just a few random pics from around here lately!

It's getting chilly and FALL IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I mention Fall is here? OH because Fall is here! Did I mention I love it?? I am ecstatic and loving the cooler weather. Yep, in case you didn't catch that, Fall is here and I love it. Hopefully I'll have some fall pics to post soon! I still need to get my fall decorations out... yeesh... what a slacker.

This is what happens when the closet door in Audrey's room is left open (It took me at least twenty minutes of being stubborn and insisting that she pick it all up before she actually did):

Sasha has been extra snuggly lately:

Feeling the rain:

After the rain:

Being silly:

and snuggly:

and fun:

and stylish:

Just a few fun shots. Have a great weekend everyone! We'll be in Williamsburg with my brother in law and his wife, so looking forward to it!

An Outdoorsy Day

A week or so ago we took a hike at one of my favorite nearby metro parks (Blendon Woods). Naturally I took pics to post and and am only getting around to it now. Better late than never though, right? Uh huh, that's what I thought. :) Soon the leaves will be changing, and I will be posting lots of fall pictures. Fall is my FAVORITE time of year!!!!!!! Click for big versions.

Looking out at the water:

In the Monarch Mansion! :p

Checking out the visitor's center:

Audrey could not get enough of the fish tank. After we initially left the visitor's center, we hiked some and had to come back because she kept asking to see the fishies again. So cute! Baby loved them too apparently.

What a trooper! No strollers on these paths!

Just for fun, here are some pictures from my favorite place to take my walks with Audrey, Sharon Woods. Nothing terribly interesting to point out, just some nice scenery along the 3.8 mile path.

Okay maybe one interesting thing. As I was taking a picture, I noticed a deer standing very still directly to the right of my camera angle, it was crazy! So naturally, I snapped a pic. :)

The deer reminded me of another deer like creature I had seen on tv... so I found the pic... (the kirin from Princess Mononoke!)

... and had some fun with Gimp! Bahaha.

That's it for now. I'm exhausted... all this posting is killing me, ha. Hope you like the blog revamp! YAY FALL!
