My baby is 3!

October 15, 2005 my little bear came into this world at a whopping 9 pounds 9 ounces.  Now she is a beautiful little girl with green eyes, curly hair and a smile to die for.  She is a lover and a hugger, a fearless physical player and a sensitive soul.  She has made our family complete and I can't imagine life without her.

We celebrated on Monday with a trip to the pumpkin patch.  Due to camera difficulties, we have no pictures, but go here to see the day.  Last night we celebrated with family and Bear's preschool.  

It always amazes me how quickly kids grow.  Especially during days that seem to stretch forever as a parent!  But now, I have 2 little girls that alternately frustrate and amuse me each day.  Each with their own personality and quirks that give me glimpses of the women that they will eventually become.  I feel blessed to raise these beautiful girls!

Great GooglyMoogly!

Welcome to October!  I know...there has been a lack of postings.  As g. mango aka 'super nanny' likes to point out, the girls literally give me a post a day in the things they say or do.  I have no excuse!  Right now I'm sitting on the couch with Bear as she eats marshmallows and chocolate chips.  So healthy!  But she did just vacuum the stairs by herself and proudly suggested the snack she should have.  Frankly, she is just so cute, I couldn't resist!

A September recap complete with bullet points:

• First days of school
• Surprise visit from the mom-in-law for Hubby's birthday
• Hubby's birthday
• A mad rush to finish our house in time for an Open House
• Open house with 50+ guests, so fun!
• Work trip to Calgary and a work retreat
• And a bunch of other stuff that I'm sure was important, but now forget!

To make up for the lack of posts, here are some pictures from the month. . .
