Bath time

Bath time is a busy and fun time of the evening around our house.  Now that Lily can sit up.....they all go in at once and they love it.

Lily - 7 months

Lily is about 7 months old now.  She's moving around like crazy - scooting herself all over and starting to get up on both hands and knees like she wants to crawl.  I'm hoping that she isn't an early walker like Anna :)  She is such a joy - a really relaxed, happy baby.....healthy too!!! :)

Lily Adele - 4 months

Our little Lily girl is 4 months old.  She is a happy little baby who loves her big sisters attention and cuddling with mommy and daddy.  At her recent well child check, she was 15.6 lbs - 90th percentile.  Gotta love the chunky babies!!!

                            

A work in progress

Right now I have no idea what I'm doing to our blog - I want to change it up a bit since I've had the same ole thing for a while now.   I'm just experimenting with a few things right now but can't work on it long enough to figure out exactly how all these little gadgets work.  So, here's a random pic of Lily as I experiment with trying to get it just the way I want it.

We LOVE Fall

I, like many of you, consider Fall to be my favorite season. What's NOT to love about Fall?....other than raking leaves of course!! It's a time to turn the AC off and let the fresh air in, visit the apple orchard for apples, cider and doughnuts, take nice evening walks, have campfires, wear sweatshirts, watch the color change, get some great photos, burn yummy candles (my current favorite is "Leaves" from Bath and Body), trick-or-treating, candy corn, pumpkin anything, hot cocoa, Grace's birthday, Phil's birthday, Thanksgiving....I could go on and on.  So, without further adieu, here are some photos that we've captured doing some of our favorite fall "things" over the last few weeks.

Not necessarily a "fall" thing, but how could I leave out my precious little Lily who is now 9 weeks old. She doesn't get to participate in many of the "Fall things" with the exception of being photographed regularly :)

Lily Adele

Lily Adele made her arrival into our lives Monday, July 26 (sharing a birthday with her "Uncle" Scott) @ 8:48 am weighing 8 lbs 7 oz and measuring 19.5". She is a timely little peanut in more ways than one. First, as many of you know, Phil had been traveling for the month of July on recruiting trips.  His most recent travel had him away for about 5 days. He arrived back home on Sunday evening at 11 pm just in time for me to go into labor and to head to the hospital around 2:30 am. Second, she's born ON her due date, which then gives all three of my girls birthdays on the 26th of their months. Labor and delivery was all in all good with no major problems or glitches. We're so grateful to be the parents of three beautiful and healthy little girls.
