Sweet Lilly . . .

I haven't posted much about Lilly. She is now five months old and is so sweet. She has kind of amazed us. All of our children have been very easy babies, but Lilly is by far the easiest. Many times after naps or in the morning, I have to go get her. She won't let me know that she is awake. And when I go in, she has a huge smile on her face. She smiles so easily also. I love this little girl so much!!!




































It is kind of funny . . . it looks like we have given up one thumb sucker for another one. Grant, it seems, has given it up (though he may still suck his thumb a little bit at night), while Lilly seems to go for her thumb quite a bit. Anytime she is tired, she loves her thumb.















Our sweet Lilly . . .

Basement

I haven't posted about our basement at all. We are in the middle of finishing it. I thought I would include some pictures. We are done with the paint, except for touch ups. We also finally have some lights up. We have been using a flood light to get to this point, so the lights up in the ceiling are sooooooooo nice to have. Now, Brian is just working on putting the built ins in. As you can see, he has just put up part of the kids play area. I will do another post when we're finished. We can't wait!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

For Halloween this year, the boys were punk rockers. As you can tell, they thought it was pretty fun. I really should have gotten orange hair paint, the blue just doesn't show up as well . . . oh well.

At school, there was a parade of all the kids in their costumes. Here is Grant. Since he is in the morning kindergarden class, his parade was separate from the rest of the school. I didn't get Ethan in his parade because it was CRAZY! There were kids everywhere, parents and teachers everywhere, not to mention the siblings that aren't in school yet. Anyway, I guess that's my excuse.

Our neighborhood is AWESOME for trick or treating. It is so much fun! You can see that Sasha was a ladybug.

And this is what she looked like from the front.

And sweet Lilly was a bunny. She was awesome while we were trick or treating. She enjoyed just looking around until she fell asleep.

The kids were sooooooo tired afterwards. Ethan even got a little sick. We thought it was from too much candy, then Lilly and I got sick. Thank goodness we're better now.
