Fall Picture at Ms. Sherry's house


Thank you to Ms. Sherry for taking such a precious picture of our little girl! Our babysitter, Ms. Sherry, is such a blessing. She loves Elyse so much (even when she doesn't nap for her) and thinks she is a little princess. :-) She does art projects with her using her little fingerprints, takes pictures of her and sends them to us. We feel so good about leaving her there while we work and know she has so much fun with her friends Madelyn, Nate, and Hunter. Enjoy!

Elyse's 2nd Halloween!

I'm so sad because I accidentally deleted my Halloween pictures from my camera after I printed them. I forgot I hadn't loaded them on my computer. :-( Luckily I had some of her in her costume from a few days ago so I can share those. We had the best time trick of treating last night in downtown Wilmore. We went with friends, Ella and Madison and their mommies and daddies.We went trick or treating with them last year when Ella was 1 year old and Madison was 4 months and Elyse was 3 months. We loved reminiscing about how much they had all changed since we were at Jenny's house last year taking pictures of them. Needless to say, they were adorable in their costumes again this year. :-)

Elyse's first trip to the pumpkin patch



We went to the Bi-Water farm pumpkin patch yesterday in Georgetown and had the best time! I can't get my pictures to download for some reason so here is just a short preview picture of what's to come. Blake and Elyse had a ball walking and exploring everything. The only problem was when it was time to get back in the wagon. Once they're free, they want to be free. i will try to download more pics later.

The mommy-daddy cruise

We have just returned from a wonderful get-away cruise! Ryan and I went along with my sister Amanda and Brad and friends, Nathan and Shana. We all have a child under 15 months and it was our first trip for all of us away from our babies! We missed them terribly but managed to have great "couple time!" Getting away really does make us appreciate our time with Elyse even more than we already do. By the end of our three night cruise, we were SO very ready to come home and get back to being "mommy and daddy!"

Fun times with Lysee

School started and that again means that I become a bad blogger. Thank you friends for reminding me that I need to post! I am home sick today with pink eye so I actually have time for blogging!
What can I say other than our little Lysee keeps getting bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger. She has taken her first steps and thinks she is the biggest girl when she does it. She also thinks it is hilarious and ends up falling after a few steps because she is giggling so much! It's funny how they know, even though they are so small, when they are doing something BIG! It's also amazing to see how much they "know" at this age. We never thought we would have to spell words so early to keep from getting a reaction from our 13 month old.

I am posting our most recent pictures that include fun snapshots from around the house, a playdate with Ella (who is enjoying giving Elyse a bottle), and Lysee standing in her daddy's shoes, of course. :-) Enjoy!



On a different note, praise God that Lysee's one year appt with Dr. Cottrill went well. She did an EKG, listened to her heart and then said she didn't think they needed to do an echocardiogram because she looked and sounded "wonderful." We go back in three months and then six months after that! This child is absolutely a miracle, to say the least!
