Happy Halloween

More pictures to come...here is a preview of our Halloween!!!!

I can't keep up with the photo's...I will be posting more tomorrow and of Caroline's 6 month checkup!

So much going on!!!

 

Day at the Park

Caroline's first wagon ride and Crawford's first Crush.

 

Caroline loved riding with her brother in the Wagon!!!

 

unfortunately I didn't get our neighbor who is 5 years old in the picture...however you can see from below that Crawford has a serious crush on her...i don't think the feelings are the same! They fight more like brother and sister and have a date almost every night at the park. We call them park stalkers b/c  they both can see the park from the house...they wait until someone is a the park and then run through the house screaming let's go to the park someone is there!! It's so funny! Needless to say...We keep the blinds shut occasionally! You can only take so much!!! But we do love being walking distance!!!

 

Love Them SOOOOOO Much!!

 

it's so hard to get them to look at the camera at the same time!!!! But I eventually did!!!!

Oh how I love watching Crawford with Caroline...he is so gentle (well most of the time), he loves her so much....and I know oneday  they will start there fighting like normal brother and sister's do...but for now....I am just enjoying watching how Caroline's eyes light up when she see's him and how he runs to her!!! It's just the sweetest thing ever!!!

 

My little boy is Growing up!!!!!!!!!

Caroline turned 5 months old on 9.26...but as you can see I am so far behind!!!

 

Sweet Caroline 5 Months old and such a joy to be around! She is such a sweet baby!

She has found her feet and loves to get them in her mouth...along with anything else she can get her hands on! She loves to talk and laughs if you say boo or throw her in the air!

She gets very mad and starts screaming if anyone is playing rough with Crawford...it's so sweet. It's like she is being protective over him. Jacob said it should be the other way around...Crawford should be watching after her! Oh how he does! He loves her so much!

Her favorite toys are Sophie and her taggie blanket.

She is eating Stage One baby food and loves it! She eyes solid foods ...I think she really wants a cheeseburger!! It want be long! Gosh time goes so fast!!!

 

She is sitting up...she still falls over so I wouldn't dare leave her alone yet sitting but she is well on her way!!!

 

 

Mimi West

My Mimi West passed away last night. As sad as I am that she is not here anymore...I am so Happy she is no longer suffering. It was so hard for me to see her suffer.

She was such a strong lady who battled a lot! She never gave up and always recovered from any obstacle thrown her way!

We were so close and I will miss her greatly and am sad my children will not know her like I did

....but am so Thankful I have so many great memories I can share with them!

The Pictures below are Mimi meeting Caroline for the first time!

 

I love this Poem, by Bob Perks, I wish you enough.........and I feel like I had so many Hello's to hold onto that help me get through it all....she was loved dearly and will be missed so much! But I am Thankful she is pain free and looking down on me!

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough “Hello’s” to get you through the final “Goodbye.”
