New Photos

Just wanted to put up a few new photos from Halloween and Maddie's 2-year old pictures taken at Sears. It's her big 2-year old birthday party on Saturday. Crazy how fast time flies. She continues to be such a joy to us and a great big sister. Norah has become quite the happy little one too. She has found her screaming voice - and can be heard all through the house, squealing away with delight. Brandon thinks she is going to be a ham, and I am beginning to see it too! I look forward to watching my girls interact more together. Right now, Norah loves to watch Maddie move about. Maddie really makes Norah smile. I was so blessed to have a sister and close friend - makes me so happy that my girls will have that with each other as well. Here are the photos!

Wonderful Fall Fun with Family

We had a great time last weekend. We hadn't traveled really anywhere since Norah was born, so I was definitely ready for a get-away. We met Kelly and Brian at a hotel in Bloomington, where we just spent one night, catching up and laughing lots. I sure do miss those two! But when we do get together, we always have a blast. I cherish those times. On Sunday, we went to an apple orchard in Hastings. It was so fun and the apples were so tasty! There was so much for Maddie to do there, we probably could have spent all day there! Anyways, here are some photos - happy fall!

Norah is 3 Months

It's crazy how time flies! Norah is already 3 months old. She is becoming a more content child and much more happy - thank God!! The first few months here have been interesting, to say the least. Here are some photos of her at 3 months.






Maddie continues to grow up more and more before my very eyes! Here is some more video of her: reading to elmo and dancing to Sandstorm. :)

Maddie dancing!

Here is some video of Maddie being her happy, joyful self. She is so much fun to watch - I could sit and watch her enjoy life all day. I sure learn a lot from her at the same time! Enjoy. :)

Norah's Happy Time

I love watching my girls smile and laugh - here is some video of Norah, during her happiest time of the day, right away in the morning.

Norah's Newborn photos
