And his wonderful family

My grandparents that are still with us and those that I miss dearly

Family that we don't see nearly enough

My amazing friends (both around the corner and all across the country)

All the photographers in my life who are so willing to share their talents!

My Christmas decorated home

And last (but certainly not least), this little guy or gal that we are looking forward to bringing home this summer (EDD 27 Jun).

Happy Halloween!

Princess Ladybug. Up until a couple weeks ago she was going to be Princess Cinderella. But, after watching the "owl" movie at the theater a couple weekends ago we went browsing through the PV shops. Shortly after I told Kelsea we were not buying ANYTHING, she came across this dress at the toy store and asked if we could please buy this so she could match her sister for Halloween. SOLD! (I am such a sucker for the girls matching!)

My little ladybugs

Mama trying to convince Lorelei to wear her hat (she preferred the bucket instead).

Daddy with his ladybugs.

Dizzy the Giggling Monster (and his parents)

Peek-a-boo, where's Lorelei? Hmmm...maybe that's why she preferred the bucket to the hat?

The comparison shot. I look at the picture of Kelsea, and think wow she really hasn't changed. Those eyes and that smile are just the same as when she was one. Makes me wonder if I'll say the same thing about Lorelei in three years!

Kelsea loving Ben

First picture of all cousins together!

Not really sure what to make of his first Halloween.

Grandma Laurie chasing ladybugs out of her yard before we head out and get way too much candy!

And after all that fun, someone PASSED OUT on the way home
