Audrey's Baby Blessing

Here is Audrey and I on her Baby blessing day Nov. 28th. It was such a great day. Charles did the blessing and it was so BEAUTIFUL. I am so proud of him What a special day. I didn't cry till I looked over and saw my Dad with tears in his eyes.

Look at this sweet smile on Lydia's face. She was pretty tired of having her picture taken all after noon. So he just cuddled up to Charles.

My sweet little family Charles, Lydia, Audrey and Me.

We had lots of family and friends attend the blessing. Here is the whole gang. I am so grateful that they could all attend. It meant a lot to us. Not only did they travel far to get here they also drove in yucky weather both ways the worst was on the way home where it took my parents and my sisters 14 hours. That is an extra 4 hours then normal.

Thanksgiving 2010

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year and again Charles was in charge of the turkey and it was DELICIOUS! We had Charles mother her three children, her foster daughter, Charles sister Karrie and my mother here for the Thanksgiving feast. The food was great! We later watched The Miracle on 34th street (my favorite Christmas movie) and some of us napped.

Here's Lydia having fun with olive fingers. I totally did that too as a kid.

adorable daughters
a wonderful husband and so much more.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

2 weeks old already!

Audrey is such a good baby! (knock on wood) She sleeps through the night and when I first brought her home the nurses said she needed to be fed during the night because she had mild jaundice. We just went to her 2 week check up and the Doc said that she is healthy enough for us to let her sleep through the night. The best news I have heard in the last sleepless nine months.

Snow Day!

Lydia was so excited to go outside and play in the snow. I was surprised that her snow suit still fits from last winter. Here she is cleaning the snow off of Aunt Jenny's car.

Helping Daddy remove the snow from the sidewalks. It only lasted 5 minutes. :0)

From the looks of it we will be having a winter wonderland for Thankgiving! My niece Krizia is so excited. My parents, sisters and niece will all be here Thanksgiving night. I can't wait for us all to be together again.

She's finally here!!

It's carving pumpkin TIME!

Lydia and I carved our pumpkins yesterday and then Charles did his this morning before heading to work. We had a good time.
I had Lydia draw what she wanted on her Pumpkin while I cut open the top of our pumpkins.
She was saying "Eww!" While we cleaned out the guts.
She also said "me gosh!" when she saw how much guts where in my Pumpkin.
