Elie is ONE!

My beautiful baby girl has made it to one year. I'm so proud of her and am so excited to watch her grow even more this year. Her little personality is blossoming and growing and she's still so sweet.

so much love!

autumn in MN

We took a trip to an apple orchard a couple weeks ago and had a blast! There were so many fun things to do and the weather was perfectly fall.

Brief.

We're still here in Minnesota. Moses turned two on September 26. I'll have to get some pictures together. Its a little difficult for me to get online now. But I'll get you in the loop one day!!

6 months!

My Elie Grace is 6 month old! She is so amazing. She laughs and smiles all the time and is such a sweet little baby its hard to put her down all day long. Enjoy these photos...there's nothing cuter!

overdue update!!

My mom came to visit us a little over a week ago and it was such a wonderful time. We got to go to the zoo, have a birthday for Moses, and just have some quality play time together. It was so refreshing to have someone familiar around and also some help during the day! Here are a few of our photos from Moses' birthday trip to the zoo:

she's growing growing growing!

Girly girl!

The inner girly girl in me has come out since I had a baby girl. I'm all about accessories and pink and cute things for Elie. My college roomate has always been this way and when we lived together definitely influenced me. She has introduced me to a website that makes the Cutest hair accessories for girls. A Christmas present for Elie maybe?

Moses is fully potty trained!! It was like magic. I put him through potty bootcamp and he decided he did not like being wet. So, now he uses the potty. He even sleeps with no diaper!! The first couple nights he woke up in the night saying, "mama, mama, potty, hurts, potty" so i took him, he went and he then went back to sleep. It was amazing. He's not so keen on public potties, but then who really is. But he's good at holding it, almost too good.
I'm so proud of him and he's just soo cute!

Silly time!

We have been having a lot of serious time and stressful time. But just before bedtime is when the silliness comes out! We have baths and then its onto the bed for storytime and cuddling. Its my favorite time of the day when we all get to be together and love each other.
