time for solids

I cannot believe how fast it is going...well, yes I can. It's crazy and though sometimes it's rough, I do love this. These girls are so funny. We started introducing some solids, which I was kind of dreading, but it's going fine...just one more mess to clean up :) I was thinking about it today though, it's only going to be a short time until she learns to do it all on her own, like her big sis.

First bite of banana.

Sweet potato.

She LOVES avocado!

Last night I was getting the girls ready for bed and Inger was standing about 5 feet in front of me, turned to the side. She looks at me and begins to toot...and so sweetly says, 'Atalie boom boom?'

My dear friend Angie's daughter and Atalie are just two weeks apart. They weigh just about the same and are both a riot! It will be fun to see them grow up together.

Halloween

I'm really not a big fan of this holiday, but it was sure fun getting them all costume'd up! (ya, we dressed up too...sorta)

(my camera cut off the other fairy, but I had to show Atalie howlin!)

Two tinks, two buzz lightyears and one fish!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy had his 30th birthday today! And got to celebrate it out at the stuga. Boy oh boy was it beautiful! God provided amazing weather and a great time for us. Thank You Jesus for creating my amazing husband 30 years ago! How blessed I am to have him as my best friend, my leader, my love. Times can be hard, but thank You Lord that You guided and blessed me with such a man. Thank You for the work You have done in Him. We met four years ago on the 5th, and I cried in front of him to try and get rid of him...I thought it would work :) Jesus, thank You for giving him the same desire and you gave me. That we may share the rest of our lives together, growing in grace. And thank You for blessing us with such amazing and funny girls. Give us the strength and wisdom to raise them to know and honor You.
