We did a little photoshoot of our new addition last week.  The bow is from Chris's sister Jenny. 

Sisters

Here are some more pictures of the girls this week.  M is getting really good at smiling for me now:

 And here's little A:

Here's a picture of M in the same outfit and about the same age:

M likes to hold her sister, bring her toys, and give her pats and kisses.  A is doing really well sleeping and eating.  Our neighbors have been great to us, and we have been eating like kings this whole week.

Baby Amelia Jane

Welcome, baby Amelia Jane!

8 pounds, 6 ounces

20.5 inches

We're all doing great and enjoying our new girl!

Cowgirl

Last weekend, one of our friends had a cowboy birthday party.  M was invited to come see the animals, have some lunch, and hang out with the birthday boy's little sister.  She wore the bandanna and made us take turns wearing her hat.

There was a petting zoo with a sheep, goat, and rabbit.  

They also had two ponies giving rides up and down the street!

Chris walked along with M.  She was really good and didn't try to get off.  The party was such a fun idea, and we had a great time!

Fall Fun

We finally made it to Gardner's Village this year to see the witches with Gma Diane.  It was much less crowded than last year, when there must have been some kind of school holiday we didn't know about.  M really enjoyed looking at the witches and ducks this year, although she wanted to go swimming in the pond with the ducks and was a little disappointed when that didn't pan out.  We also ate lunch at Archibald's, and M got a new stuffed friend, Owly.  She's holding Owly in the picture.

M was a dalmatian puppy this year for Halloween.

She wasn't too pleased when we tried to get her to turn for a side view.

These are the pumpkins we carved this year.  I did the "Welcome" and the Jack Skellington ones, and Chris did the mummy in the middle.  We still have three other pumpkins that we are considering carving with Thanksgiving themes.
