He's Back

Mike left for New York on Friday and returned today. To say he was missed is an understatement. We're happy he had a good time and caught some awesome fish, but we're even more happy to have him home!

Pumpkin Pickin'

We went to a local farm for a hay ride, corn maze, pumpkin picking, and of course lots of quality family time; which we really needed.

Buckeye Saturday Night

We had some good friends over tonight to watch the Buckeyes beat the Hoosiers on the back of our house with the Wendel Jumbotron!

Molly's attire is courtesy of Aunt Sue (cheerleading outfit), Celia (black shirt) and Grandma Rosie (hair bow). It takes an army to get a look this good!

Three Quarters

Its hard to imagine that Molly was born 3/4 of a year ago, but on the other hand it feels like she's been a part of our family forever.

At her 9 month check up our ever growing girl was 28 1/2 inches long and weighed 20 pounds 9 ounces.

2 Steps Forward, 1 Step Back

In this first video Molly is trying to coax the turtle to come to her.

But once she decided to go for it, things didn't quite work out like she had hoped.

Please excuse the computer monitor....Mike is working on taking it to the crawl space :)

Talented

My sister, Teri, is an extremely talented photographer. To compliment this talent, she's also great with kids. Add these together and you get some amazing photos of an adorable nine month old little girl, well in our opinion at least!

There were some moments of unhappiness for Molly.

We all had lots of fun in the newly fallen leaves.

Molly was intrigued by the kitten walking towards her (but outside of the photo).

There was time for silliness!

And you can't do something on a Fall Saturday without sporting scarlet and gray!

Do What You Can Do

In an earlier post, I talked about a friend of our's daughter who is suffering from Batten's Disease. This weekend, The Book Loft is sponsoring an event to support Batten's Disease Support & Awareness. To learn more about the event please see this page. And if the only thing you can do to help is to say a prayer for Celia, we'll take it and I'm sure her family will be grateful!
