The Circus

Our first circus trip. Sam just sat there stunned the whole time. But Adalyn loved the lights and people. They really are complete oposites. 

Fall

Some time with just us two. 

The great hook in the cheek. Joe took it worse than Sam and we waited longer for the doctor than it took to get it out. Memories 

My bikers switched helmets, they had nice weather this month.

Fall Firsts

The past month we have had several firsts for this family of 4.

First huge blizzard. We were literally snowed in. Our back door was completely covered. Thankfully another first; Adalyn meeting Auntie April happened to occur at the same time. The kids enjoyed having her here and I was so happy to have my sister close. I'm eaquallu overjoyed to meet thier new baby next year.

2 days later Sam "dressed" to play. He's a true dakota boy!

This is my snowed in face

Sam got caught with a fish hook while fishing... It wast technically this month but I had to add it. He said "dad fished in Sam's mouth". He took it like a champ. 

We spent 3 days without dad and survived! We had so much fun. What a blessing to have good sleepers and content moods. 

Adalyn turned 6 months, got her first tooth and can sit up for several minutes un assisted. She is growing so fast.

Blizzard entertainment, but Sam went to the bathroom completely of his own will with no suggestion or assistance. He is becoming independent. I may not have to change diapers forever. Yeah!!!

As our incredibly short fall (2 days) turns to winter and bitter cold comes, I yearn to share Gods grace with my children. 

I want them to know the warm of God's tender love for them. I can't wait for the day they realize their need for him and find new life. 

7 Months

I (Adalyn) just turned 7 months. 

I'm growing, I weigh 17lbs. I have 2 teeth! That's right 2, I got them both last month and I'm working on another one. 

Everyone says I am the happiest baby in the world. That's true, unless I want mom and she is not close by. Then, well there is nothing you can do, so just call mom. Mom says that's ok with her because that gives us lots of special time together. 

I love daddy too and whenever he gets home he must hold me, right away. I usually let him know when he is not Fast enough.

I love to play with mommy while I'm nursing. Usually I bite her and then laugh when she screams. It's very humorous. I'm going to teach cousin Billi how to be arnrey too, because it's more fun with 2 people. 

My brother is so funny. He makes me laugh and even helps me calm down when I'm sad or upset. We are best friends. 

I love my papa too. Infact if I see him he must hold me and take a picture.

I'm not crawling yet, but I want to really bad! I'm really close and mom says it will only be a couple if weeks till I'm on the move. 

There are so many more things I can say but mom says it's not good to make the blog post too long. Oh did I mention I love to talk too. Yelling is my fave! 

-love Adie

Sam took this sweet pic of me and dad.
