Deck the Halls

We put up our tree this week and after 5 long

hours of sorting the branches and adjusting

the lights, we finally got to the ornaments...

Reagan helped for about 5 minutes and

then got bored and moved on to coloring.
(she had just taken a "big girl" drink of my water

if you were wondering about her shirt...)Little brother helped supervise.

Notice the placement of the ornaments...

At this point she let mommy finish up

and attended to her coloring books.

Dancing Queen...

We attended a beautiful wedding this past

weekend for Erika and Mark - and though

there were plenty of adults around it seems

I only took pictures of kids...

The girls on the dance floor.

Reagan's version of "The Robot"

(I am sure someone captured my version on camera also..)

Making a new friend!

Look! Mommy is wearing a dress!
(this doesn't happen often these days...)

Getting properly aquainted with Cindy's help.

Catching a snooze on the way home...
her legs must be tired!

KISS and a chubby guy on the couch...

I had a few deadlines this week so Reagan

got some unsupervised play...

this is her KISS impersonation...

(all washable, non toxic - thank goodness!)

Getting chubby.

Caught on camera... lots of smiles!

Reagan being goofy in her new

princess pajamas.

Clipping her nails like a big girl... Being silly with Daddy.

Just chillin' on the playmat...

A few smiles and coos caught on camera...

(See video below - turn your volume up as daddy and

big sis get a little noisy in the background...)

Baby Smiles

Bracken is getting more animated and really starting

to respond to our faces...people say it is just gas,

but I know he is smiling for his momma! So serious...

Sunny Days...

With such gorgeous weather we have

been spending a lot of time outside...

Playing in the leaves and going to the park!

Halloween Madness

GO BEARS!

(You can see we decided to go with a theme this year...

the theme was this: whatever we had in our closet.)

Our little cheerleader not looking so cheerful

(we had just explained we were giving that candy away)

Waiting patiently (sort of) for me to

get Bracken ready and out the door...
Reagan exclaimed "Happy Halloween!"
at every door...we couldn't get her
to say "Trick or Treat" but she did
request that they open the candy
for her a few times...
Daddy helping out...

It was chilly!

Brian Urlacher tuckered out on the couch.

Sampling the goods while waiting for

more kids to come... ...still waiting...
