Caroline's Baptism

Caroline with her Godfather, Chris.

It's not you, Natalie. It's me!

Friends and cousins celebrate the woman of the day!

Caroline was baptized on Sunday, November 21st. She did such a wonderful job and the service was beautiful. We had lots of family and friends there to help us celebrate this important day. Uncle Chris is her Godfather and Cousin Heather is her Godmother. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful baby girl.

Trick or Treat

What fun we had last night! Will had no idea what Halloween was going into the night and by the time we got to our second house, he had it down pat! He just went for the candy! He was Thomas the Train and Care Bear was a fairy! She was a good sport in her tutu. I am sure it was itching her to high heaven! Will wanted nothing to do with his costume until he figured out it was the key to getting candy. What a little con artist! Gotta love those sweet lil muffins!

A close up of my fairy princess, Caroline!

Can't get enough!

OMG! too cute!

Shaw's Pumpkin Farm

Last weekend we took the kids to Shaw's Farm. Will had a blast exploring the tractors, pumpkin patch, and all the characters. Caroline, on the other hand, was entertained by eating the dirt and leaves! We couldn't even get her to look at the camera!

A new addition to the family!

Seriously, mom? You put me in a tutu?

Best of friends already!

Sweet Carson rests here weary eyes...

Just five days old here. Sleeping like a champ!

On September 21, 2010 we welcomed a new addition to our family, Carson Ivalee Reeder. Carson is Will and Caroline's baby cousin. She's my sister, Liz, and her husband, Chad's first child. Caroline and I went down to welcome her to the world last weekend with my dad and I must say she's absolutely perfect. She's a great sleeper, eater, and snuggler. So happy she's finally here! Check out Caroline and Carson's photo shoot. TOO CUTE!

Camping with the Boyz

Will had his first night camping in the wild with daddy and Grandpa Jack. While, the tent may have only been in the front yard, the night was full of memories. Will slept in a tent under the stars, roasted marshmallows and hot dogs, and told stories with the boys! How lucky we are to have such outdoorsman in the family to show him the ropes...

They are growing up too quickly!!!

They still love each other.... for now!!
Mr. Lightning McQueen himself... Will is inseparable from his "bink."
Care Bear loves to imitate her brother. Here she studies Curious George on tv!
Digging for gold??
My girl is a mover and a shaker!

Somebody stop the clock!! Wasn't Caroline just born, like yesterday?? She and Will are getting so grown up! Caroline has two teeth, is crawling, sitting up independently, and baby talking up a storm. She is so darling and sweet. I can tell she's so going to be my little shopping buddy.

Here are some pictures from the WEBN Labor Day Fireworks in downtown Cinci! Will was not such a fan, but Caroline hung in there like a champ!! Lots of fun with the cousins!

Photo Shoot!

Every girl needs a photo shoot, right? Check out Caroline sporting my "Izod/Lacoste" shirt from when I was a little girl along with her Levi's bloomers! Loves it! She and Will satisfied my desire for updated photos by playing along for a little while!
