Laney's First Thanksgiving

Delaney took her second airplane trip the Saturday before Thanksgiving to visit friends and relatives in Pittsburgh and Ohio. We had so much fun during the trip. Both kids did great on the plane and momma successfully assisted in installing the rental carseats in the minivan. Some of the highlights included:
*Two great flights
*Jeanie, Owen and momma walking to St. Andrew's (where momma and daddy got married) to watch the bagpipers.
*Owen picking fresh carrots for dinner for Jeanie's garden.
*Visiting Tia Kim, Anthony and Katie in Ohio and meeting up with old friends at a fun reunion at Tia Stephanie's. While there, we visited the new Hudson Library too. Grandpa accompanied us on the two day trip. So fun to see Michelle and her beautiful Angie, Kim M. and her two awesome growing boys Matthew and Andrew, and Stephanie with her son Bryce. Owen, Anthony, Katie, and Laney all had a blast and can't wait til the next adventure!
*Thanksgiving Day at Connie's with Uncle Walter, Lillian and Buzz, Donny and Susie, cousins Connie, Ed, Susie, Syndee, Canaan, Evan, Chris, Joan, and Dallas, and so many family and friends!
*Grandma and Grandpa's 40th anniversary party
*Pizza lunch with everyone (30+) on Saturday
*poor Laney's first ear infection :( (not a highlight- but very memorable. Luckily she was not in pain on the flights.)

My First Halloween!

Laney was a Ladybug for Halloween. In the first pic, she is sporting a cute halloween outfit- we are hoping the pants from Aunt Linda and Uncle Chris still fit next year! Laney enjoyed the neighborhood block party on Sunday the 30th and trick-or-treating with momma, daddy, and Owen the firefighter on Monday the 31st. Next year, she might even get to eat a piece of candy!

Jane visits- Nov. 5, 2011

Delaney enjoyed a visit from Jane, who was born just a couple of weeks before Laney. Jane's parents were in the Kaiser Thrive prenatal group with us.

Nine months old!

Laney turned 9 months two weeks ago and is not looking back! She loves exploring, pulls up on everything, cruises a little with people and furniture, and puts EVERYTHING in her mouth! She keeps us on our toes for sure!
Laneygirl:

Lombardi Ranch- Laney visits the Pumpkin Patch

We had fun at Lombardi Ranch with Grandma and Grandpa on Saturday, October 22. Momma was in the middle of a stressful stretch at school and couldn't quite get the Fall/Halloween outfits together this year, but nobody noticed except me. It was rather hot, so both kids enjoyed the shady train ride! Sibling love.

Sibling Fun- Oct. 6

Owen loves on Laney all the time. She loves him a bunch too! Here you can see her a week or so after turning 8 months so you can see how she really moves around now!
