She played really hard!

 

Caney Lake Adventure

Daniel and I decided it was time for a little get-a-way since we had just celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary, and I had just finished two tests that were not fun. We rented a cabin for the weekend at Caney Lake which is about and hour from our house. It was a nice trip. Holland loves it outside not having to worry about mommy telling her to come back here, you're getting too close to the road. She experienced her first fishing adventure which she wasn't so interested in. She loved being down on the dock (talk about a nervous mom) and playing with the squishy fish bait. Unfortunately it rained Saturday afternoon, but the cabin had a huge screened in porch we got to play on during the sprinkles. I've also decided that I am definately going to have a very large wood burning fireplace in my next house. We're back home now and I'm working away at more school projects (case studies...YUCK!) I hope you enjoy the pictures.

She's a little girl now.

Our baby is growing up. I cannot believe how fast time flies. In the third picture she was helping mommy make cookies. She's very good at baking. Second she is just being silly. She is silly most of the time. The first picture is our little princess this morning. She cocks her head to the side and says "cheese"! She's getting better and better at talking. She will say pretty much anything I ask her to say. Her favorite right now is "duck". When you ask, what does a duck say, she says "cack, cack, cack". She is too beautiful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today we ate lunch at Daniel's grandmother's house. It was a bit cramped, but it was fun seeing everyone again. Holland has two cousins now. Samuel, who is 14 months, and Cecilia, who is 10 weeks. Our family has so much to be thankful for. I love this time of year when we can all slow down and really think about what is truly important in our lives. I have an incredible, loving husband that has more patience than I ever will. Together we have a gorgeous, smart little angel. Being a mother is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am very blessed to have my family and friends. I hate that they are not as close as I would like them to be, but they all know how much we love and miss them. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

The perfect little bumble bee

Holland had such a blast dressing up for Halloween. She was the sweetest little bumble bee I've ever seen. We made it about 3 houses down before she got upset with me. She did not quite understand why I would not let her go in anyone's house. She had a great time anyway. I also found out that night that apparently I'm not a very good mother because I don't let my 15 month old sit down with a big pile of chocolate. Nevertheless, we're still a happy family!

Having fun outside

Holland is loving on our neighbor, Sunny.

Our little bumble bee

I decided it was time for some new pictures and a little update. Holland has decided to be a bumble bee for Halloween. She's wearing part of her costume, but we were just playing around. She has a new little pink tutu that her daddy thinks is silly, but I can't help it. She is just too adorable and I am having fun with my little girl. She loves to dance so I thought it was very appropriate. We're planning on trick-or-treating at our families' houses. I can't wait for those pictures.

I hope you all enjoy!
