7 months old

It's hard to believe but last week, our little Smunchie turned SEVEN months old!  How can she be growing up so fast?

We went out to the local nature center to get some pictures of the whole family, since it was unseasonably warm out.

2011 Inaugural Lighting of the Fireplace

Tonight, it was cold and rainy. Thus, a perfect night to light the fireplace for the first time this fall. G had a great time looking at the fire and warning us all that it is "sooo hot!" It is so nice to be able to show him new and interesting things, even if he technically has seen them before.




"Watch out dada! It's hot!"

Lazy Fun

We had a lovely time this weekend. We got to see both sides of the family! Lil G had a wonderful time with all his grandparents, both his uncles, his daddy and his mommy!

This weekend we took a trip to Chicago and stayed with uncle Rodger. Here are some pictures of all the fun we had.

Our gracious and wonderful hosts!
