I LOVE my big brother!

Annaliese was playing peaks and looking SO CUTE under her bib. Look at that smile! She is such a flirt!

We were so excited when Gabe called us and told us he was in town. They decided at the last minute to hop in the car and drive down. He came to visit us just about every night while he was here. They are leaving again on Sunday and won't be back until the day after Christmas. As you can see, Gabe had long hair one day, and came over the next day with a brand new haircut. Doesn't he look handsome?! We LOVE his new look and so does he. Annaliese loves him to pieces either way. She was so happy to see her big brother. He got lots of hugs and kisses!

Soooo HANDSOME and soooo CUTE!

Pumpkins!

We sat Annaliese in the front yard and surrounded her with pumpkins. I started snapping pictures and ended up with some really cute ones. These are just a few of the many that I took that day.

Halloween!

Annaliese wore her pumpkin shirt from cousin Lilah to the sitter's house during the day. The girls, Annaliese, Lilah and Mia, were the 3 little pigs later that evening. We visited the family to show off their cute costumes. They really were the cutest 3 little pigs EVER!

Swim Lessons at the YMCA

We've had Annaliese in swim lessons since she was about 8 months old. She LOVES to swim. She spent a lot of time swimming this summer at Grandma and Grandpa's house too. These are just some pictures at her lessons. Daddy and I take her on Saturday mornings. Usually Daddy does laps while we play. Last week Daddy took her in and I took pictures because I was sick. That is why there is only one of me with Annaliese. That one is actually from the week before.

Braeutigam's Orchard

We went pumpking picking at Brauetigam's and Annaliese got to feed the goats. She also had her first taste of an Apple Cider slush. Yum!

September 2008

Here are some updated pictures, Finally! The pool pictures are from Labor Day at Grandma and Grandpa Lockwood's house. We were all celebrating Grandpa Ernie being home from the hopsital. As you can see, he even got into the pool! Grandma and Grandpa Jacob were visiting from Michigan too. Annaliese was just a little over 9 months old there. The others are more recent.

As you can see, Annaliese likes to crawl into Gus' kennel and play with his bones. She is now 10 months old. She crawls, pulls herself up and walks along the furniture, talks baby talk like crazy, and is getting cuter by the minute. We just love her more and more each day. She now has 8 teeth, 4 on top and 4 on bottom. The list goes on and on. I am WAY behind with my postings. There are lots more I could include from this summer. For now, this will have to do.
