Happy Halloween!

From one cute little calabaza!

our new favorite "baby wearing" contraption

the ergo
it's like a giant bear hug
thanks to michelle and rob
(paigey will love it:)
it's made for front/back and side carrying
for kids up to 90 lbs

she loves to be outside
after we come in from a walk,
she still wants that delightful fresh air

walah!

it's still pretty chilly when these two go running
but (much to jon's delight) she hangs well with the beanie

love it!NC State Fair
Hand dipped corn dogs
and the most delicious corn on the cob
love, love, love it
asha's like "seriously, you're not going to give me even
one kernal?"

she fell asleep for about an hour,
but woke up just in time to jump on
jalopy junction! her first amusement park ride

Autumn love

our little giraffe ... so many cute options

love these two

NC autumn = out of this world
mid to high 70s all week
a little chilly in the mornings and the evenings
the trees are changing color and
we just bought a new air freshener for our house
called autumn spice and it's DELICIOUS

kalena will teeth on chicken bones
and asha on celery sticks, haha

this may appear that she dislikes
her head massaged, but she actually loved it!

I can not get over this face.
For a little 'trick or trot' 5k at Meredith
we dressed up as a triathlete.
Jon was a biker
I was a runner,
and Scout ... the swimmer!

Only 10 days late ...

It just keeps getting better.

7 Celestial Months

Love that little belly.

Showing off.

One of my favorite parts of Father of the Bride
is when George (father) walks by his children's
rooms and he hears Annie and Mattie
say I love you to each other.

He then clutches his heart and with
an overwhelmingly happy face continues down the hall.

I do that same move daily.

Like when she's bouncing in her little bouncer and she
looks up at me, so proud of her new skill or
when she smiles when I try out my
spooky laugh for halloween or
when she recognizes our favorite
dance tune.

This is better than I could have ever imagined.
So full.

Pure bliss.

love his smile

i can't get enough of this little face.

like two kids on christmas morning
holding the gift they never thought they would get

after 7 months this is still one of my
favorite sights.
i love this little face.

grandma faye and her woodsprite grandaughter

nanny and her little bug

love these two.

asha is pretending not to care that kalena
has a sweet toy

then she decides to "hold kalena's hand"
in an attempt to snatch it from her
kalena is worried asha might eat it
after looking at the size of her cheeks

having heard rumors of asha's determination when it comes
to relinquishing toys ... she decided not to try to get it back!
best friends in the making
two elated mamas
who didn't get out of their pajamas
the entire time they were together!

Miss you ...

weekend before we flew to Utah
Smoky Mtns.
chimney rock national park
(where last of the mohicans was filmed)

asha's head is really only in the 80th percentile
not the 800th as it appears in this shot!

most beautiful eyes ever

oh, spud, i'm a chain!
jackie worthin would be proud

what form...

what concentration

what style

what taste

what a joy!
