What a beautiful time of year

Autumn is my most favorite time of year to live in Washington. The leaves are changing and it starts to get cold enough that I have a good excuse to stay inside with a cup of Hot Chocolate and read a book. It's also cold enough for sweaters to cover up the consequences of so many cups of Hot Chocolate. :) Today the girls and I took a walk before the weather turned wet and windy.
Claire slept through the whole walk. she missed some beautiful fall colors.


Violet and Claire took their first ride on our double stroller, they loved it. I like having V on that bench facing me so we can talk during our walk.


Claire wore her new shoes, jeans and coat from her Aunt Diana. She was so toasty warm and looked really cute too.
V and C like to cuddle. Well C doesn't have much choice in the matter.

Claire's head got stuck in her T shirt and this is the face she made to tell us what she thought about that. Claire is such a good baby, she loves to snuggle during the day but will sleep at night in her own bed (thank heavens). she is starting to let us go to sleep earlier and staying asleep longer so Peter and I are beginning to emerge from the newborn haze!! Yay!

Just another day in Paradise

It's been a great couple of weeks we are just having a lot of fun with our two beautiful girls. Peter is still working at Tuesday Morning and is excited to start the legislative session in either November or January (his start date depends on which job he gets). Here is a picture of Violet and Claire taking a nap together. I love it when they both take a nap at the same time and I can get some stuff done! Two kids keep you running!

Claire makes a lot of funny faces and her cross eyed ones are one of the best so here are a couple cross eyed pictures.


She also started smiling this week. Here is a big smile/coo. She is so adorable.

Peter likes to hold Claire and copy what she's doing. So here he is making fists and tipping over, he didn't realize she was beginning to cry otherwise he'd probably be making a sad face too.

More copying :)
Violet showing Claire all her cool toys! She can't wait until Claire can get up and play.

This is my before hair picture so remember this picture when you see the picture of my new haircut

Pretty in Blue
My two little monkey's in their matching monkey jammies. Violet likes to set next to Claire like this and she was laughing the whole time we were trying to get a picture.

My new hair cut, I'll have to get some more pictures to show it better but it's an inverted bob, it's shorter and more layered in the back and longer in the front. Diana also highlighted it so I'm more blond that I was before. I love it, it feels more like me.

Ok so Violet's face is covered in chocolate but she had a banana after her brownie. Plus we were celebrating Grandma's b-day.


Claire in her new toy. So much fun!
