Trick or Treating as a Big Pink Flower

Brooke's idea for a photo - she got them all set up and then yells to me "Mom, come take our picture!" It is my "new" favorite

Kristen's Baptism

On Sunday, October 4th, Kristen was Baptized. Here she is with her parents and Godparents

A few days later we dressed her up again and took her out to the same spot where we photographed Brooke after her Baptism.

5 Months .......

Last Tuesday, Kristen was 5 months old .... in that 5 months she's been to Cape Cod, Walt Disney World, had her first plane ride, celebrated her Big Sister's 3rd birthday, started eating solid food, joined the daycare crew and been Baptized. So little, but so many happy times already..............

Kristen eats Rice Cereal

At Kristen's 4 month appointment we got the thumbs up on starting solids - well I'm not sure that I count rice cereal as a solid but anyway. We tried one night last week and it was not a pleasant experience for anyone - Kris and I were not in the mood. Last night we took a different approach and things went far more smoothly, in fact, she even started opening her mouth when she saw the spoon coming. We'll see if we have repeat success tonight!

Eventually she figured out how to keep it in her mouth - that was after this picture


Then she decided this stuff wasn't so bad


Before we know it, she'll be doing this herself.....

The Girls

Our Little Cinderella

For Brooke's birthday this year we planned many special surprises on our Disney Vacation. On September 14, we dined at Cinderella's Royal Table and had visits with Snow White, Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Jasmine, Belle and Cinderella. The food was amazing, the service was incredible, and Brooke was in heaven. She was chosen to be the "Princess of the Day" and led the procession of luncheon guests up the spiral staircase to the dining room. We were also photographed with Cinderella - this picture is sure to be one of our forever favorites.
