November

Maura's first 6 weeks have flown by. Here are a couple of pictures of our little snuggle bug:

Must have been watching football. Touchdown!!

Danny loves hugging, patting, tickling and kissing his baby sister (sometimes a little too much).

Getting a work out in the activity gym

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween

Danny wasn't too sure what to make of Halloween this year. He had picked out a chef's costume, but when the time came he didn't want to wear it. Luckily, the jacket from last year's firefighter costume still fit.

Maura looked adorable in her pumpkin sleeper and made it to a couple of houses before falling asleep.

Had a great time trick or treating with the LaBarges. Danny seemed to warm up to the whole Halloween idea once he realized candy was involved.

Danny Sayings

Danny has been talking up a storm lately. Here are some of our favorite things he's said:

His First Joke

Knock Knock

Who's There?

Cockadoodle

Cockadoodle who?

I can't hear me.

Carry you me. (whenever he wants us to pick him up)

Ohhhkay. (after we repeat something he has said)

Here comes Danny.

Ummm...no thanks.

Hi Maura! Nice to meet you.

And because a post always needs a picture, here's our future soccer star:

**Thought of after posting**

Favorite songs - Baa Baa Black Sheep and Old Mcdonald - last nights animals a cow, a horse and a pterodactyl

Maura Elizabeth

A couple of pictures of our newest addition. Born 10/18 at 4:15pm. 19 3/4" and 6 lbs 14 oz, small compared to her brother. Everyone is doing well, getting used to another little one in the house.

We love our Baby Maura (in highest pitch tone).

Danny's First Day of School

We are calling it school, even though it's parent's day out. Seems like school with a backpack and lunch. Overall, Danny had a good first day. He kept talking about race cars and his teachers. He did fall down and cut his lip, but by the time the school had called me he was already outside on the playground.

Danny loves to see the picture after it's taken, but getting him to wait for the flash takes some work. Third times the charm...

Labor Day Resolutions

Can't promise I will keep this resolution any better than my New Year's one, but it's worth a try. Need to get my pictures/blog post/Danny's baby book under control, so hopefully it won't be 6 months between posts again

Here's a look at our Summer:

World's of Fun. My little adrenaline junkie.

Playing with water table in backyard

Making funny faces

Driving a tractor at Touch a Truck in OP

We love playgrounds!!

Making Coffee

To paraphrase a panda...

"I'm THE big brother! Ska-doosh"

I won't get to meet little bro or sis until October 24th, or maybe a little earlier.
