Well, I have to admit, I've been such a slacker! I often have my phone with me and I grab quick pictures on there but I need to pick up the pace with the photos on my camera! I also need to work on my shutterfly scrapbooks (since I'm months behind), but that's my problem..I know you don't want to hear about it! haha. Needless to say, I just had a friend of mine come over to take a few family shots of us so anxious to get a few of those back! Until then, I will share the few pics I have......
Miss Milla is getting around the steps pretty good.....she is now taking a few steps here and there when she feels confident! She definitely is confident to crawl up steps. Usually she goes up to about the second step and stands there with her big front toothed grin (which is adorable!) and then Jude yells "Mom, Milla up the steps". ...when I get in, she looks at me and smiles through the banister....and usually starts moving up higher! lol
check out those pigtails! Her hair is growing like a weed - my kids definitely don't lack on the hair department (I know Aaron is jealous..lol).
These were just a few pieces I had made for the wine festival....just a very small handful of some of my newer things that people have been excited about!
my cork heart plaques have been a huge hit!
license plate signs!
A little pumpkin fun....
Sorry Milla, I don't think you can lift that one....
Jude must be trying to convince her that she's not strong enough to do it....
"Fine, I'll just sit here and look pretty. I'm pretty good at that."
"Don't worry, I'm just touching it....I wouldn't think of lifting this one."
When did he grow up?
a beautiful day....
such a serious face Camilla.... (but you are still so pretty even when you are!)
Look a leaf....
She was loving watching Jude jump in....she wasn't too eager to get dirty yet....
"Milla, I see your teeth.....oh, you wanted me to check out your leaves? I guess I got a bit distracted. lol"
Riding through the leaves...
Such a serious rider.....
I'm teaching these kids well.....start them young. Even before they can walk, they can rake. lol
Another famous shot courtesy of Jude Photography....
eyeing up....dirt!
Ahhhh, I can't get enough of those teeth!!!!
dirt!!!
"Now this is fun....you've been holding out on me mom." (Side note: Can I be jealous of her eyelashes and cute hairdo? Now the arm rolls, I'll let her keep. hahaha)
"Who wants to hug me??? You have to take the dirt and all!"
I promise to get more pics soon! I apologize for not having too many but hopefully this will be adequate! There have to be enough cute shots to hold you over until next time!! Camilla is now really understanding what you tell her and ask her to do. She will blow kisses, wave, and stand up....before long, she'll be running!!! What happened to my baby?!
For those of you that don't know, my brother will be returning home from Qatar December 21st. He will be home for a month before going back to finish up his last few months. We have been counting down the days...Jude woke up the other morning and asked if Uncle J was coming today. When I told him no, we literally had a melt down. I know we all will be happy to see him, but I know Mr. Jude will be so excited. He knows when the count gets to 1, Uncle J will come here to play with him. Keep my brother in your prayers for a safe trip home and for safety in his remaining time there.
Today we celebrated Aaron's birthday, Jude's feast day and a new birthday of my best friend's new child, Maverick James, as he was born today! Please continue to lift my friend and Maverick in prayer as he undergoes surgery tomorrow! Life is so precious.....Praise God for bringing him safely into this world and bringing my "sister" through childbirth unharmed. Can't wait to meet this sweet little man....
Many blessings - may you find beauty in the falling leaves and God's presence in the cool breeze.....
Our love,
Crista and crew
