Baby Boom

Today we got all of the "summer" babies together after church to take their picture. There are six new ones! It was so much fun to see them all lined up next to each other! It will be neat to have these pictures to remember how they looked as little babies because they are all growing so fast! They aren't in birth order here, but we managed to sandwich the boys with the two girls on the end.



Clarity (#6), Samuel(#5), Winston(#3), Elliott(#4), and Adah(#2) (Jackson(#1) was absent today)

The Pumpkin Patch

Today we were invited to go to a pumpkin patch with some friends of ours...it was so much fun! It was a beautiful sunny day...perfect for taking pictures with pumpkins! I'm not so sure that Elliott and Clarity thought taking pictures with pumpkins was quite as fun as we did. But, for the most part, they were very patient with us. Clarity's mom, Shelley, sent me these pictures of the babies with their "thoughts". I hope you don't mind, Shelley, but I couldn't resist passing them along...


Clarity to Elliott: "You having any fun?"
Elliott to Clarity: "No, let's tell them how we feel."



Both Babies: "Waaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Here are some more pictures from the day. Enjoy & Happy fall!

Perfect Picnic

Today Elliott and I had a picnic at the Kimbell Art Museum with our friends Shelley and Clarity. It was a perfectly beautiful day to spend outside! The babies had so much fun laying on blankets under the trees. They really seemed to enjoy being outdoors. The mommies also had fun talking to one another! Here are a few pictures from today's picnic...Shelley and I were hoping that Clarity and Elliott would hold hands, but I guess they weren't ready to take their relationship to the next level yet!



Happy Babies!

Happy 2 Months, Elliott!

Today we are celebrating because Elliott is 2 months old! It seems like just yesterday that we saw his face for the first time. He started smiling at us last week and this week he has started to talk to us. He seems to get sweeter every day! Yesterday he had his 2 month check up with Dr. Jeff and he got 4 shots! Ouch! As of yesterday he weighs 11 lbs 6 ounces. We are enjoying the way that he focuses on our faces and objects around him. This Sunday during church the scrolled end of the pew was very fascinating! Other exciting things to look at include curtains, lights, and ceiling fans...spinning or still! Tricia returns to work next week so that leaves the late night feedings up to dad! We'll keep you posted! Here are some recent pictures! Enjoy!



Silly Boy!
