I Look Pretty!

Those kids in the Pampers commerical with their hair have nothing on Katie.  She gets her hair without all the gel and goop they use in that commercial.

Halloween

We had a great Halloween.  Julia was a chicken and Katie was a ladybug. Katie wasn't so thrilled to have her antenna on her head.  Katie quickly got the hang of going to the door and in her own way saying "Trick or Treat."  She knew to open her bag for the goodies and to say "thank you." Of course mommy and daddy will enjoying her treats.  As usual, Julie slept through the event.

Hurricane Sandy

Katie has been through two hurricanes in her little life and Julia got to experience her first.  There was tons of wind and rain.  Sandy decided to help us out and take down the tree in front of our house. We had a guardian angel looking down on us. 

Feeding Myself

Katie is working hard on learning to feed herself. She is becoming a very indepedent little girl.  She is growing up way too fast.

Two Months Old!

Julia is two months old. It is amazing how quickly time is passing. She is a very happy little girl, even when Katie is annoying her. Julia is just about sleeping through the night.. which makes mommy and daddy very happy.

Merrymead Farms

Our realtor, Mrs. Dimino has a day for her clients at Merrymead farm.  It was a beautiful fall day and we had a great time. Katie picked out a pumpkin and had fun painting.  This was Katie's second hayride.. she went last year but was too little to remember.  We got to see a baby calf in the "maternity ward" of the farm  with its mommy that was just 3 hours old. Julia enjoyed going along for the ride. We look forward to next year when Julia can enjoy the day too.

NC Aquarium

We spent one of the rainy beach days at the North Carolina Aquarium in Manteo.  We learned a lot about the fish in North Carolina.  Katie needs to learn all about the fish she will be catching in the future when she fishes with daddy.

Beach Fun

We were able to spend a week in Corolla after the wedding. We had some good beach days and some not so good beach days. Katie had a blast on the beach. She loved playing in the sand and the water. She got an up close look at the fish that Uncle Bill caught surf fishing.  Julia loved listening to the waves as she slept on the beach.

Ashley and Justin's Wedding

We went to Corolla, NC for Ward's cousin, Ashley's wedding.  Ashley and Justin were married on the beach in Corolla. The weather was absolutely perfect for a beach wedding. Katie was one of the flower girls.  She needed a little help from mommy walking down the aisle, but otherwise she did great. She stole the show with her dancing at the recption. The photographer and videographer paid lots of attention to her.  As you can see, Julia found the reception to be quite boring.
