Happy Four Months Elie!!!

Our little girl is already four months old and we can't believe it....I know I have said this before, but I feel like she has always been with us. She is growing well, in the 50th percentiles for everything, eating like a champ (breast milk of course), smiling, laughing, and watching everything her big brother does!! She has been rolling tummy to back, especially on her days with auntie Moo, who thank goodness captured it on video for me! She still loves her sleep even though she is waking up more frequently at night. I guess all that hard work during the day makes her hungry. I love her personality and continue to be amazed at how wonderful Jack is to her. She loves to go on runs in our double stroller, chews on EVERYTHING, and is reaching and grabbing for toys. The second time around I am able to sit back more and enjoy my developing baby...I just want it to slow down!!

Halloween Happenings

I love fall, Halloween, and everything associated with it!! We ventured to our 3rd, yes THRID, pumpkin patch in search for a the perfect jack-o-lantern to be! We carved our pumpkins, lit them up, and practiced some trick-or-treating. Holidays are so much fun when you are sharing them with your kids.

Brother and Sister

Wow...I hope the mutual love continues forever!!

We love NE Portland

Even though we have had our times in NE, I have grown to really love our neighborhood. We love our neighbors and it's so great to be able to walk to great coffee, restaurants, etc... Jack's love, his aunite Annie, accompanied us on Saturday night to dinner. Thank you for being such a great person in Jack's life Nannie!!

Pumpkin Patch Take 2

Pics from our trip to Lee's Farm with Jack's schoolmates. He was too cute....check out his "girlfriend" Claire in the corn field :).

Cutiest Cutie Pie

Thats some mom lingo for you...for my Elie. Tomorrow is my first day back at work and I have very mixed feelings. I am so sad to leave my precious baby (babies...Jack too, but he has been going to "school" on Mondays and Wednesdays) but I love my work. Elie gets to stay home with her auntie Meg, and I wouldn't do it any other way!!! I have already had lots of tears, and I am sure I will tomorrow as I bike commute to work in the freezing cold!

Pumpkin Patch Take 1.....more to come

We went to Sauvie's Island on Tuesday with Meg, Chels and Diesel and then Friday morning we went on a field trip with Jack's school to Lee's Farm in Tualatin. Jack LOVED both trips and asks me if we are going to the "patch" everyday now. Depending on the weather these next weeks, I think we will be making a few more trips to kill time and energy!

Big Boy Bed!!!

We made the official switch....Jack got his new big boy bed and Elie got the crib!! Both kids did great for their first nights in the new beds....Jack banged his head on the headboard a few times and woke up at his usual un-Godly hour, and Elie of course slept 12 hours (with one feed break:>) We are ready for lots of fun nights ahead!!!

Tiger??? Maybe?? Anyone....anyone???

OK, I hate parents that BRAG constantly, but Jack is pretty good for such a young age! We can all dream, right?? Click on the first picture...its hilarious, he is looking for the photo while making his putt!! I guess he didn't remember that "eye on the ball" thing that we were trying to teach him :)
