Christmas Pictures

Here are this years Chirstmas pictures!  The kids did  a terrific job getting them done considering the time we were scheduled was so close to afternoon nap!  Keaton loved when the photographers waved a flower in front of his face and made silly noises. He put on his best smile!  Sophie did everything the photographers asked (except plant a kiss on her baby brother...).  I think the pictures speak for themselves!

 

So after spending too much money on pictures, I decided to take some photos at home because the kids were all dressed up and our tree was just decorated the day before. Of course by the time we made it home, Keaton had fallen asleep, so I decided that if I couldn't do both then I would at least try for one and made Sophie sit in front of the tree.  Now I would like to take a minute to remind everyone of our last home photo shoot with Sophie.  She was about 7 months old and well..I will let the pictures speak for themselves, 

So definitely not our best effort...fast forward almost two years and ....

 

                                 I am so thankful for trained photographers!!!

                                                                           Until next time!

Half a Year?!?!?

    It's officially been over 5 months since my last update!? To say things have been busy would be an understatement, but this past week has been a nice break and change of pace.  Both Andy and I are on vacation this week and we have been enjoying taking it slow.  As for Sophie and Keaton, they never seem to take it slow and have spent the past week loving playing with their new toys.  (At least Santa must have thought they were good this year!)  Here are some pictures to catch you up to where we are today.

First, our fall trip to Leader's Farm: The kids had so much fun in the hay and sandbox full of corn!

   Here are our two baby Smurfs on Halloween!

Keaton and I are trying to stay warm waiting for the Toledo Christmas Parade!

LIGHTS BEFORE CHRISTMAS at the TOLEDO ZOO!! Soph couldn't get enough of  the lights choreographed to Christmas music!

 

Sophie's First Gingerbread House! Not sure who ate more candy her or her daddy!

 

I can't help but smile comparing the pictures of July to today! Sophie and Keaton continue to grow day by day!  Secretly I wish they could stay small forever!
