Happy Halloween!

For Halloween Emily insisted on being a princess. She was so excited about wearing her costume she talked about it for weeks. After initial hesitation while trick or treating she finally got the hang of it and we made up and down our whole block. Eliza was our little moo bossy this year. She came along trick or treating riding comfortably in the pack. We had a great time!!

Trick or Treat time! 

Eliza's Baptism

We celebrated Eliza's baptism on Sunday October 28th. It was a beautiful day with family. We feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful family. Eliza did pretty well while being baptized. While we were up in the front of the church, Emily kept saying I be baptized too. After the church service we had everyone over to our house. Which was nice since most people had yet to see our new house. We feel very blessed to have little Liza in our lives. We are a very happy family of four.

Pumpkin Farm!

We were able to make it to Treinen Pumpkin Farm again this year. It has become one of our favorite family traditions. Emily was very excited to go to the pumpkin farm and pick out her own pumpkin. It was a fairly nice day. We did the corn maze first. Emily like helping choose which way to go in the maze. She walked almost the whole thing. Eliza slept most of the maze

Let's go this way

Loving the corn maze! 
After the corn maze we got to ride on a house drawn wagon to the pumpkin farm. Emily found her and Eliza's pumpkins right away. We all had a great time and can't wait for next year! 

Here's my pumpkin! 

Me and my little pumpkins :)

Little Roller

Eliza has started rolling. Actually I think she has been rolling for about 3 weeks now. Now her favorite sleeping position is on her tummy. In fact in her crib she wiggles her way into the top corner on her tummy and sleeps soundly from there. Occasionally she still gets her arm stuck under her body but she is getting the hang of it. When you put her on the floor she will do at least two rolls in a row. Every time she rolls Emily yells for me to tell me that Liza is moving! I don't think she is too big a fan of the fact that her sister is now (sort of) on the move.

Eliza also has her first sinus infection. If I remember correctly it is right around the same time that Em had hers. After a couple rounds of antibiotics we are back to being (relatively) healthy. Liza is also smiling a lot. It is so cute to see her two dimples. She has even giggled here and there. However getting her to smile when the camera comes out isn't as easy. When Em was her age she smiled happily for the camera, Liza not so much. I am hoping to capture a couple sooner than later.

Almost caught the smile
