My favorite time of year!

 

 

 

 

Yes, we're missing a family member.. she was sleeping in the van. My mission is to get one family picture together in the leaves!! (Before they disappear!) I love the colors!

Full of Smiles

 

 

 

 

Ever since she was 3 weeks old, little Sienna is full of smiles when you talk to her... She is such a delight. Every time she smiles, it makes our day. Sure wish we knew what thoughts were going through her mind... Maybe she thinks we're funny looking. I wish I could turn back time, and hold her again as she was at the hospital - so small! It went too fast! I remember when we'd put on her newborn diapers, and they were up to her armpits. I'm sure you'll think these photos are SO adorable, much like I do!

Baby Shower for Sienna

 

 

 

 

We had such a pleasant Baby Shower for Sienna.. she was even awake for most of it. We had it at the church tea room, and there were about 15 ladies, and a handfull of kids, who played in the gym. Sienna even recieved quite a few gifts from ladies at the church that don't even know us very well. My friend made the decorations Pink and Brown, with a matching diaper cake, and cute cupcakes. Mom brought the icecream cake, which was gobbled up fast!

This Sunday, Sienna will already be 2 months! I keep looking back at Meagan's baby photos, and I can't get over how much they both look alike... I'm finally getting to know her routines.. And we are LOVING her smiles.... When she first wakes up, and you talk to her, she is just so happy. Once in a while we'll get a little "coo" from her, if we're lucky. I just wish I could pause time, and hold on to her as a "newborn" for a little longer!

We do miss Meagan, while she's at school. Once she gets home, the time flies as we get ready for supper, read a few books, and the kids are in bed by 7:30. She has become such a good reader, and I know she'll do great in Grade 1. Caleb and I are working on learning his numbers and alphabet every morning, and we have started the fall Moms and Tots programs again. I'm not looking forward to the winter, as I am lucky to have Grant around to help out once in a while.. Come winter, he'll be gone for 3 months straight! Well.. until later!

That time of year again

 

 

 

 

So.. the summer has gone by! Meagan started grade one, and she is loving it.. Her teacher was her "family" leader the week Meagan was at camp at the church. So she and I were happy to have her as a teacher. Although Meagan is loving school, Caleb is not too happy that he can't go to school. (as you can tell by the photo!)

Sienna is doing great. I need to take more pictures and videos!! She is such a cutie pie, and I'm loving the part where I get to dress her up in cute little outfits! She is sure smiling at us now days, and occasionally, she'll try to make some noise. Her big brother and sister just love her to pieces.

The ladies at the Church are putting together a Baby shower for Sienna next Sunday.. It'll be her day to be shown off to everyone! I wonder if she'll sleep right through the event!

Until later!!
