New High Chairs and Baby Food...

Isaac LOVES his high chair and can't wait for the good stuff!


Sophia is not too big into her high chair...this is what she did the first time we put her in it!

Okay, so she got the hang of it after we woke her up!

Apple Orchard

Every year we go to the apple orchard. This was our first trip there this fall. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun!

Our Crazy Older Two!

Grace and Elizabeth are wonderful big sisters and great helpers (usually!;)) They decided that they were going to have a band one day. Check out these giddups!!!! Gotta love it! Ahh, to be young again!

Our Precious Sophia

Little Miss Sophia is also quite a treat. She has figured out she can get places by rolling over and over, she is eating food (but really not too fond of it at all), almost sitting, inching like an inchworm (will be crawling in no time), has two teeth, loves to chat with her brother, and loves to explore in her exersaucer. You can see from one of the pictures that she must have exercised TOO much, she fell asleep standing up in the exersaucer. HILARIOUS! She too is such a blessing to our family!

Our Happy Boy...

Isaac is such a joy and such a happy boy. He loves to talk (or rather squeal), enjoys playing in his exersaucer, adores all THREE of his sisters, is rolling, eating food (and loving it), and in general just such a joy to our family. He weighs in at 11 1/2 lbs. and boy have those been hard pounds to add!:) He turned seven months old this past week. We call him our Mr. Smiley!

Baptism Weekend

Isaac and Sophia were baptized shortly after Isaac came home from the hospital. But, on August 30, we had a public acknowledgment of the baptism in front of the congregation. It was a great weekend and we were so blessed to have family and friends celebrate with us. Unfortunately our dear friend Jodi wasn't able to join us as her grandmother had passed away, but you were missed Aunt Jod! Isaac's godparents are Mark Williamson (Matt's college roommate and a dear friend) and Jodi Leiner (our dear friend that Matt went to high school with). Sophia's godparents are Kris and Carla Wardin (more dear friends...Matt graduated from high school with Kris). Thanks everyone who travelled and thank you for celebrating this special day with our family where we could rejoice and praise God for all the answered prayers for our two little miracles!

First day of school...

Gracie started first grade, my where does time go? Elizabeth started Pre-K three days a week. And who is that cute little boy you ask? It is Eli, our friends Christy and Ryan visited for a couple of days while they were out here for a wedding. It was so wonderful to see them!!! :)

Playing in the Exersaucer-6 months old

Learning to play in the exersaucer at 6 months old!

Blueberry Picking

We went blueberry picking today with the kids. It was a lot of fun. The bushes weren't terribly full as it is toward the end of the season, but it was such a beautiful day! We still ended up with two pounds in less than an hour. I am sure that the girls ate about two pounds as well! They couldn't figure out why Matt and I had more in our buckets!:)
