Happy Halloween

We hope your Halloween is spook-tacular! :)
Look how much Hallie has changed since last Halloween, and her first holiday ever. No more "first" holidays for Missy Mae.

Walking Progress

Today, we spent the whole day canning at my parents house. But the most exciting part is Hallie made her first long walk, and we were all thrilled, and she was so proud of herself. She stood up and took probably 20 steps, fell down, and got right back up and carried on. So we though we'd share. :)

One morning I decided to be brave and let Hallie feed herself breakfast on her own. This is how that worked out:
I think more is all over her than in her tummy. :) She's starting to get it though.

Eric's 26th Birthday

I know I'm more than slightly behind, but we wanted to document Eric's birthday.

At Tucano's when it's your birthday they bring you ice milk, and play the Brazilian drums, and they make you dance. We have some amazing video of Eric's dance moves, but that will be for another day.

Come What May and Love it

I've been thinking a lot lately about this phrase, "come what may and love it." Since hearing this talk it has stuck in the back of my mind, but when I saw this video it reminded me again of how much we are truly blessed with, and it truly puts things into proper perspective. No matter our religion, or situation, or trials we can learn from this great message. I know many of you have heard this talk but I hope you will watch it and gain something from it as well.

"The simple secret is this, put your trust in the Lord, do your best, and leave the rest to Him."

It's Fall Finally!

I LOVE Fall! I love the leaves changing, the cool weather, and the food. It is just the best time of year.

So I though we'd go out and take some pictures of Hallie in the leaves. So here is what we got, she wasn't cooperating too well, she would much rather climb the stairs, crawl into the driveway, or watch and wave to the cars going by. But here are my very limited photography skills at work. :)
