Avery is almost 3, going on 13

I forgot these images were on my cell phone. All of a sudden, my first born is acting like a teenager!

At the library, she wouldn't sit at the table with Kate and me to read books, she had to lounge on the beanbags like all the other "big kids".



One day after StrollerFit, a woman from Sweet & Sassy came around asking if any of our kids would like a free pedicure (they were training a new cosmotologist, who couldn't have been more than 16 years old). Of course we took her up on it, so here's Avery getting her first pedicure:


NO, she's not getting her toes done on a regular basis! But she does tell everyone now how she's Sweet and Sassy!


And her best friend Graham is nice enough to go along with all this crazy girl stuff. Look, they're each other's lobster!

Fabulous Fall

We have so many fun things to share with you from this month!

First, Kate had her first bites of real food (well, okay I wouldn't call it real, but she loved it!). Of course big sister had to get in on the action:


It's great because now the kids can eat dinner together (yes, that's my angel saying her blessing before she eats!). Good girl!


And Kate took a ride in her new baby swing:

Is that a happy baby, or what?

Then, there was the first football game of the season (you can tell Kate's having a blast):


And then, there was Kate's baptism. She was baptised at The Woodlands United Methodist Church in the chapel where Lee and I were married on September 6th. We were so fortunate to have so many friends and family come celebrate her special day with us.

The delicious cake (of course I made it!):

And then there was the day when I downloaded my pictures from my camera and found these hilarious photos. The sneaky little devil isn't good at hiding her evidence:
