Sneak Peek at Christmas Outfits

We had a professional photographer come to the house on Saturday morning. I couldn't catch a pic of Peyton (thank goodness the photographer did) but here's a first glimpse of Leah & Paige.

Also including a picture of Peyton in her Christmas Nightie. :)

Nice Weather = Outings

Let me tell ya, we're happy to see a blue sky - this fall has been SO grey.

So we got out today - here's a couple pics.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Rich

Water Babies

Well - they're just over 7 months old now - it's been a while since my last post.
Needless to say...we're busy! But also - where the heck did time fly? I keep thinking that it was just August - like, September & October....GONE!?!

Leah & Paige wrapped up their swimming lessons just last week - they passed Aquatots-1, and we're so proud to say that they did not miss one single lesson! Ha, I remember the days of getting Peyton ready and off to her lessons...it seemed like such a big deal. Little did we know....
Paul & I (again) SINCERELY thank Rich for being the reliable (usually Paige) partner for the 9 classes. And also Erin, who stepped in the week of Paul's (minor) surgery.

The girls are sitting unassisted now - Leah started about a week and a half before Paige. This alone has made our lives a whole lot easier. They're quite happy to be sitting amongst a pile of toys and things to chew on. There are, however, little spats that occur on occasion, over a toy, typically. Leah, our gentle & sensitive angel, happens to be the more stong, aggressive toy stealer. But Paige is no pansy, she just moves on to something else. They've been reaching out to touch eachother too (or grab an ear, handful of hair...you get the idea.)

They continue to be very happy babies. They love company and are so responsive to kisses & cuddles - just the way babies should be.

Hallowe'en was fun this year. Peyton was a princess by day, and a rabbit by night. She had an absolute blast trick or treating. Paul & Rich started her off on the street, then Paul took her out to Erin's clinic, then out to his parents street. She woke up the next day asking to do it all over again! So we explained that it's done for a year, but CHRISTMAS is coming! Her response? "No Christmas. I don't like Christmas, I want Hallowe'en." Ha.




So I'm in the midst of figuring out what the heck we're going to do with these kiddies when I return to work - which isn't too far from now! A bit of a daunting task, but things seem to have a way of working themselves out, so not to stress, right!!??

Christmas shopping is also well underway - it's going to be such an exciting year. We're hosting my family for Christmas breakfast, then Paul's family will be here for dinner - busy, busy times. But thankfully, we wont be packing up and dragging the crew around. Really, that makes things so much easier (not to mention everyone will be napping in their OWN beds.)

Well...that's pretty much all I have time to add right now. I'll try to get a few more pics off, and will write more again soon.
