Autumn is truly here!

Painting

Noah LOVES to paint at daycare. I don't often work up the nerve to allow him to do it at home, but I did the other day and he was so good at it, and made relatively little mess (i.e. nothing was permanently damaged:)  So I think there will be lots more painting from now on.  I found some great little sponge paint rollers with different textures on them, and he makes some great creations. Look out Jackson Pollock! He also, of course, loves painting with his hands.  

New Scooter!

since michael missed seeing noah's reaction to his new scooter this morning- here is a little video for him to watch at work...

Temptation at its very finest!!

Up to mischief! 

You've come a long way baby!

One year ago today...

Yikes! And to think we thought she was beautiful even then, vernix and all.  Thank goodness she has become much cuter over the past 12 months:)

Her feistiness and temperamental nature were evident at just hours old, and those things have NOT changed a bit.

Happy First Birthday to our Princess!

Anna Grace had a wonderful first birthday, with celebrations lasting all weekend long.  Happy birthday to our baby!  

Life through rose coloured glasses...She's loving it.

I put some of my new skills to use and made Anna's birthday cupcakes

Thanks to Grandma for sending the special, pretty birthday dress
