Halloween!

Our first Halloween with the girls!

Ella was a ladybug. She HATED her costume and yanked on her antennae all night, but she does love a good party. Abby was a sunflower and never screwed with her petals, not even once. Connor was the best little superman and even bumped fists with Batman and trick or treated with Spiderman and Ironman. Our own little Justice League! Lonny a beach bum (big stretch, I know) and I was whatever I could grab in 5minutes. (It was later determined that with all these babies around, I was Lady Goo-Goo Ga-Ga). We had a lot of fun, but next year we are gonna keep it simple!

Pumpkin Carving

(you may be wondering where the Hawaii posts are...there are so many pictures to go through and limited blogging time. I will get them up soon. No, really.)

We had a pumpkin carving party! Connor and I went and picked some beauties from the pumpkin patch. That night, Lonny, Kyle and Connor created masterpieces while I snapped pictures, Abby slept and Ella ran around in her wheelie chair! It was a great night and got us so excited for Halloween!

Abby 10 months

Abigail is quite a little lady. Our Abby is a total mommy's girl! She just loves her mama and gives her the sweetest looks with those amazing blue eyes! (Only her mommy will still coo about how cute she is while she is screaming her lungs out...and let me say, it sounds like inherited some volume from mommy!!) She loves to feel things, different textures. Maybe she'll be a designer! She's turned out to be a real girlie girl. She never messes with her hair bows, unlike her sister. She can go from happiest baby in the world to a puddle of tears in less than zero. At her last check up she weighed 15.8 lbs and was 26 1/2 inches long. In Hawaii, she perfected her crawl AND started pulling herself up in just a matter of days. Now she just wants to stand up and have you walk her around all the time. She loves to play with the toy piano and is now a better sleeper than Ella. Two teeth on the bottom just like little Sissy. Her smile can melt your heart one minute and her scream can make your ears bleed the next. We love her so, our Abigail!

Ella - 10 months old

Ella is growing so big and she is sooooo strong! We can't believe what a powerhouse she is. At her last check up, she weighed 16.2 lbs and is 26 3/4 inches long. She has two teeth in front on the bottom and that's it for now! She will eat just about anything and everything she is given, such a good eater! We fear she may have a bit of a sweet tooth, but don't ask me how we know that! She loves to go fast and it looks like I might have mixed these two up...she seems like she could be our tomboy after all. She loves just about everyone. We have a saying, "Abby is mama's girl and Ella is everybody's girl!" She loves to play with Connor. She chases him around the house in her wheelie chair and much screaming and merriment goes on. Lonny has just about given up on giving her baths in the baby tub, because she splashes him so much. She is crawling like crazy (update: just this morning she pulled herself up in her crib!) She has a great smile, a bit of temper and is a bundle of energy that just won't quit....she's our Ella!
