Emma's turn...

to be a silly pumpkin just like her little sissy!

** For the record, this was her idea.**

Elle is 19 weeks!

We love our little pumpkin so very much!!!

Elle, thanks for putting up with your mama's crazy ideas.

She wouldn't smile for us, but she is such a good sport.

Elle is enjoying the sound of her voice. She has sweet little screams when she is happy.

She loves to suck on her little hands and play with her little feet.

She is such a joy and we are so lucky to have her.

We love this little lady to pieces!

Congratulations Sarah!

Yesterday evening we had a little family Bridal shower for Sarah.

Nate and Sarah are getting married on the day of the dead so we carried out the theme for her shower.

We all had such a great time chatting and spending time together.

Ebit, thank you for your help with decorations and clean-up.

Mom, thanks for your help watching the girls so I could set-up.

Cris and Caubbie, thanks for the help with the food.

Douggie and Dad, thanks for taking the kids to Chuck E Cheese.

We can't wait for the wedding!

Emma cracks us up!

Emma says the funniest things these days...

Daddy: Emma, are you excited to wear your new shoes to school tomorrow?

Emma: Yes Daddy. Maybe I show Xyler?

Daddy: Is Xyler your friend?

Emma: Yes Daddy. He is wonderful, just like a pretty pony!

Mr. & Mrs. Sullivan

Friday evening Doug and I attended the wedding of our good friend Jessica.

Jessica and Darin's wedding was at Bali Hai on the bay.

 It was a bit cloudy out, but it was still a beautiful evening!

 You know it is going to be a good wedding when they have a cocktail hour before the ceremony.

Notice Douggie with his 2 beers.

 Douggie and I were so honored to be among the family and close friends at the wedding.

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Sullivan!

We wish you lots of love and happiness!!!

Our little pumpkins

More from the pumpkin patch.

Here are some more pictures from our trip to Bates last week...

On Friday Elle turned 18 weeks!

We missed her 4 month picture by a few days, but we made up for it.

She is such a little sweetheart, and her smile is so precious.

Gotta love those perfect little round cheeks!

We love this little lady to pieces!

Pumpkin patch

We went to the pumpkin patch at Bates Nut Farm this evening!

Now I have 293 more pictures to go through.

We will post more favorites soon.

Elle's appointment with her specialist.

Yesterday we had Elle's appointment with her specialist at Children's.

He wants to see her every few months for her first year.

 She was such a good girl and so patient with the long wait.

 He says that she is doing great!

We couldn't have been more happy with that news.

We also were thrilled because we didn't have to do any lab work!

We also don't have to go back until she is 8 months!!!

He is going to order some lab test before her next appointment to do some more tests on her MCAD.

He also increased Elle's dose of daily medication.

She is doing so well and he was very happy to see her sweet smiles.

Yesterday was also our sweet Elle's 4 month Birthday!

I know going to the doctor doesn't sound like a fun way to celebrate, but it was great to hear that she is doing so well.

We love this little lady to pieces!
