Caelyn's first Thanksgiving weekend

Thanksgiving Day 2009

We enjoyed a weekend away up at Hume Lake with family.

Caelyn LOVED the outdoors and all the fresh air!

It snowed the first night we were there and Caelyn really liked watching it fall...she likes the cold...maybe you can see the snow in our hair!

A great picture spot on our favorite walk around the lake

here is our love bug all bundled up enjoying a snooze

Good time with family and enjoying the beauty of God's creation! What a great way to kick off the holiday season

So much to be thankful for

She is the greatest gift we have been given this year!

This month she has learned to do many new things like...

...sit at the table in her own personal chair with the help of some blankets for extra support...accomplished for Dad's birthday dinner :)

...discovering her new found grasp (and it is powerful)

...smile...ALOT

...she can help hold the bottle during her last feeding

...even hold some of her own toys

We love you and pray you all have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Where did October go?

It seems like time just flies but this past month really has went by fast. Jason has been working every weekend on the patio project and then in the middle of the month we took our First family vacation to the beach. It has been such a great month with many milestones. Caelyn is talking more and more and makes the most adorable sounds. Plus we have even got a laugh every now and then. She also has discovered her knuckles which she loves to suck on.

Here we are - 3 months old today!!

Our first Halloween outfit and we got to wear our first bow from mom's holiday collection!!

Our first family trip to the Avila Apple Farm where they had TONS of pumpkins. The famiy shot is from the end of our time there - hence the tired eyes - time for a nap!!

November is a great month as we really think about the blessings in our lives. We have truly been blessed with our precious little Caelyn and this time of year we are extra thankful!!
