the professionals


This picture is my favorite because it pretty much sums up our entire time getting her pictures taken...it is amazing to me how the can capture those few brief seconds where she wasn't crying to reaching for me. This was much easier last year.






It's begining to feel a lot like Christmas.....

SNOW!!!
Now I know I've been in Kentucky for the past two years and haven't seen very much snow, but I was not expecting snow like this until at least Christmas. I am not complaining. Lilly was very interested in it, and since she was just standing at the sliding glass door crying to go out on to the porch we decided to get bundled up and head to the park and check out the snow. It was cold but she loved it!



It is a little hard to pick up a snowball with mittens on!

Fright Night Food Drive and a mouse..

This year instead of just going trick or treating for candy, Tom took the youth group trick or treating for canned goods. For it being our first year doing this in hummelstown, it went amazingly well, we collected a bunch of canned goods, and had some very good costumes. I of course think Lilly's was by far the best, or at least the cutest.

Being such a big helper

Lilly with her boyfriend Shannon...Shannon was the first person in the youth group to pick her up and since then she has been in love. She also is very enamored with his older sister Alex.

Fall

An assortment of pictures of our precious Lilly from this fall:

Her new favorite seat...she loves to sit still and read books, sometimes for more than 5 minutes


Her temporary ball pit box



I refinished our kitchen table and chairs and Lilly had to get in on the sanding action..plus it was a lot of fun to dance and run on the table!



Trip to Paulus Farms: (a wonderful place for children in the fall)



You can never have too many paci's

Maybe just a little big??

Taking a ride through the enchanted forest with Jordyn and Sadie

For whatever reason Lilly has decided on of her favorite places to chill is in the bathroom...hopefully this will mean easy potty training.

Well we now know where our nose is, which means we can also pick it!
