We got the little walker out yesterday… she didn’t like it last night, but seemed ok in it for a while tonight. Sara even got into pushing her around the living room/kitchen.

It was so cool! Lj and Mendy ran the Seattle Half Marathon! Poor Lonnie got sick :*( Hopefully he can run next time. There were 15,000 people running the race and they did such a good job! I have been told that Seattle’s Marathon is hard because of the quantity of hills. Mendy and Lj said the hills were only the last 4ish miles. It was so thrilling to see them run into the stadium!
This is where the finish line is…it’s the big white tent-like area in the picture.

It was a very foggy morning. Most of the morning, I couldn’t even see the Space Needle

I am biased as her mom, but I think she is just the sweetest little baby!

We had a great, relaxing, Thanksgiving day! Here is Allie sporting her “Baby’s 1st Thanksgiving” shirt.

Sara picked out funfetti cake and frosting as her choice. I don’t understand why she didn’t want the german chocolate which I was pushing for.

Amd for the 1st time EVER, Sara was too shy to blow out the candles!

Halloween went on for about a week in our house since the church trunk-or-treat was nearly a week before Halloween Day. So, we made cookies:

Sara’s cupcake decorating

We didn’t carve Allie’s pumpkin until the next night. She fell asleep during all of the action!

The BIG DAY

My birthday was soooo much fun this year. Thanks to my sweet in-laws for watching Sara so we could get away for a night in the city.
Nice spit Allie

The Girls

I know I’m partial, but those are two great bums if you ask me!!!

One of Sara’s favorite past times.

Allie’s 3 month pictures coming soon…
