Where have we been?

Sorry it has been so long in-between posts (special apologies to grandparents!), but I haven't taken a lot of time to take pics or video, we have just been going and going and going....

Anyway, we had a nice Thanksgiving in Madison with Trav's family. I saved this super cute outfit for her to wear and I thought that since it is 6 mo and she isn't too big for any of her other 6-month stuff, she would be able to wear this. OH NO! It was so tight on her. We kept it on for the dinner, but then changed her. We kept having to unbutton her top button on her jeans so she would be comfortable, sorta like me!

Anyway, All is well here. We are waiting for the 6-9" expected tonight, anxiously! I am not super excited to drive in snow, considering the horrible accident from last winter, but am praying that slowly all that anxiety dissipates. Later today we will go pick up our Christmas tree and take lots of cute pics of that.

Here are some pics and video from this morning and afternoon and Thanksgiving:

Here is Samara in her uber cute outfit. Notice the sleeves don't even hit her wrists! So sad!!

Mara and big cousin Kam.


Our Hoodie family. Trav was bundled up to finish putting up Christmas lights (can't let our neighbors outdo us!).

Here is Mara holding on to her swing, standing like a big girl. No luck on crawling, yet. In fact, she really doesn't even like being on her tummy much anymore, not since she became a big girl and can sit up!!

Here Mara is attempting to eat Cheerios for the first time. She liked to pick them up, but no put them in her mouth. Later, we put one in her mouth for her, but she didn't know what to do with it, so we took it out before she choked!!
