Pumpkin Patch

We have had the most beautiful weather since Saturday - so we took advantage of it and went to the pumpkin path as a family. Brock had fun searching for the perfect pumpkin and Sophie loved being out and doing a little exploring of her own. I can't believe we are over halfway through October and less than 11 weeks left of 2009.

I love my little family!

Daddy took Brock to the fire station where our friend Brent works - I had to stay home with Sophie since she'd was sick. They had a great time exploring the fire truck, playing with friends and evening shooting the water hose! Maybe a future career?

Sophia's First Birthday

We had a wonderful time celebrating Sophie's first birthday. I had no idea my kid could put away the cake the way she did (definitely her mother's child in this area)! It was around a 9" single layer cake and she ate a good 2/3rds of it by herself! There was hardly any cake left to clean up after. We were so blessed to have so many friends and family around to celebrate with us.

Sophia is 1!

October 4, 2009 - 1 year!
18 pounds 10 oz (15% percentile)
30 inches tall (75% percentile)

It's almost impossible for me to believe that Sophie is already 1 year old! Time has just flown by and only seems to be gowing faster. The last year has be doubly blessed to have Brock and Sophie in our lives. Sophie is an amazing, sweet, snuggly, intelligent and total little princess. She can say "all done", "thank you" and every time she sees a phone or 'talks' on one she says "Hi Dad!" - and of course the wonderful Momma and Dad. We are so in love with our little girl - Happy Birthday Soph and we look forward to another wonderful year watching you grow and learn.

Apology!

So my first post in 3 months has to be an apology! I am so sorry for being such a slacker and not updating the blog - but here we go - multiple posts to follow!
