Saturday Afternoon Walk

On a warm Saturday in September, we took a walk to the playground so the girls could show Dad how they can  swing back to back in a bucket swing.

When we got to the park, the girls were pretty worn out.

After a little time resting in the shade, they were ready to play!

After swinging, we headed back for home, stopping at a bench along the trail to eat.

Big Girl High Chairs

Recently, Emily and Addison graduated from their Bumbos to their big girl high chairs!|

We're ready to eat dinner with you Mom and Dad!

Emily's a happy camper in her new high chair

Addison's ready to learn how to use a sippy cup

We're ready for our afternoon snack Mom!

Hats!

The girls got new matching hats, and even though noses were still a little runny and eyes were still a little red from our lingering colds, we decided to take the show outside for a little photo shoot.

Naptime Bee Shot

One morning last month, I decided to take my camera into the backyard during nap time and got lucky with this friendly bumble bee.

Claire, You're Gonna Be a Great Big Sis!

While helping get Emily and Addison ready for bed, Claire had a chance to practice her big sister skills....good thing cause she's going to need them come May! Congrats Sebrings!

First Colds :(

Last month, Emily got her first cold, and two days later, she was kind enough to share it with Addison. We survived our first experience with having two sick babies, but aren't looking forward to the next family illness.

Runny noses and watery eyes

longer naps and lots of sighs

Tylenol and snot suckers, too

Cold buggies out the door with you!

Roommates!

Recently Emily and Addison have discovered that they are not alone in their bedroom. If mamma's a little slow in getting to their room in the morning, they have figured out there's someone to talk to, just inches away!

Morning Mom, this is a private sissy to sissy conversation

Hangin out on the Deck

Warm Indian summer evenings are just perfect for hanging out on the back deck. Twilight is also wonderful for taking pictures!

We love standing up

Addison gets closer and closer to the camera....it looks delicious!

Lookin' cute

Flying!

Got her pinned!

Purple Sisters

When the girls turned six months old, we took pictures in their precious purple outfits, but we couldn't get one shot of the two of them standing (not enough grown ups!) So one Sunday in September, we stopped at Aunt Britney and Uncle Dylan's house after church, and got some shots in their front yard.

We are such big girls!

Uncle Dylan, what is that noise you're making?!

Oooo, it's grass!

Hey, what's that?

I got it!

Fascinating! 

Hilarious!

Aunt Britney you're so funny!

Weee!

Wrestling

The girls have begun wrestling as they have started moving around. Well, really Addison just attacks Emily. Depending on Emily's mood, this can be fun or devastating.

A Little Wind

How do you react to a strong gust of wind in the face?

Lunch Downtown with Auntie Karen

We were able to enjoy lunch from the "lunch trucks" downtown with Auntie Karen last month. After lunch, we visited Grandpa Hicks at Network and met some of the famous Network guys, including Steve and Kevin. We were ooo'd and ahhhh'd over for quite some time, and got to see Grandpa Hicks' church! Then we went to a job site downtown where Uncle Dylan was working to see a beautiful fountain and newly renovated backyard.

Mom and Karen decided to get gyro sandwiches from this truck

Lunch in the park downtown, so much fun!

A Trip to Evergreen

Over Labor Day weekend, we headed up to Evergreen to spend the afternoon in a small mountain town. We ate lunch at Beaujos, a pizza place with great gluten-free pizza, and then visited the many art galleries in town. We love three day weekends!

Hanging out at the restaurant

We like being in the mountains!
