This pretty much sums up family pictures for us this year!

Oh Isaac, he is quite the character. This boy is full of personality, making all of us laugh constantly. He soaks up and retains information like nothing i have ever seen. Not much bothers this kid and he has such a care-free spirit about him. Anyway, i thought this picture was so cute!

This is why....

we need to move to the country!

All 3 of my boys are in their element.



Thanks Britt and Nikki for making Sydney's first mini trip so much fun!!

Neighborhood trunk or treat

Don't you love the costumes!?

This is real blurry but these are 4 of the 6 boys in kindergarten that get together every friday and play their little hearts out. They are all such darling boys. Nicholas also had his costumer parade at school along with his halloween party that he talked about the rest of the day.

We went to the Melaluca halloween adventure as well, the employees sure put a lot of time into it, i was amazed at what they had done.



I lost my camera for a week and was so sad that i couldn't take any pictures of the new babe. She has been the perfect addition to our family. I took her to her two week check up and she has gained almost a pound in two weeks. I was so proud of her. No wonder i feel like nursing is a full time job though, the girl is an eater. I love the picture of Sydney and Bob taking their Sunday nap together.

Kissable lips! Do you think she is sick of having her picture taken? I started laughing when she finally put her arm over her eyes.



She is awake a lot more now, i love her big blue eyes!


I can't believe how lucky i am to have such wonderful friends and family. I captured only a few people meeting Sydney for the first time. The Branson family, Nikki & Chris, Great Grandma Lou and the Streble cousins.






Every night while i read the boys a story in bed they switch off holding her. It's fun to see these tough little boys soften around Sydney, they think she is the cutest thing ever.
Stay tuned...Sydneys new born (2 week)photo shoot will be next, i don't get them back for 2 weeks.

Special girl!

It is amazing how much they change every day. We sure love this little bundle!

Sydney Nicole

Wednesday October 14th was her big day! I went in to my regular check up that morning and my Dr. said the baby had not grown in 2 weeks. He did an ultrasound and said she looked very healthy but needed to come out because she was not growing. Everything went really well, i am lucky and have fast labor and deliveries. There is still nothing like bringing a little miracle into the world. I love being a mom!
6lbs6oz and 20in


Isaac kept rubbing his cheek next to hers and giggling. He would say over and over "oh she is just so cute." He also told Bob that Sydney has small boobs. That kid is so funny.
Nicholas is beyond excited. He wants to hold her every second and will tell anyone who will listen about his sister. He came home from school Thursday and told Bob that he raised his hand and announced to his class the big news. The fist thing he asked when he saw her was "Do all girls come out with bows in their hair?" Bob and I are enjoying having another baby around, it has been very peaceful. Today Nicholas said "Wow mom, you really like baby Sydney don't you?" I have a hard time putting her down, i know how quickly the time passes and want to soak up every second.

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit, not many pictures but we loved every second of having them.
