Yep, shes that BIG

and...

thinks her sister is the funniest person she knows!

tolerates her swing (at best)

Loves bath time with Emme

and peek a boo!

More IU

We took the girls to their last game of the season last weekend. It was a chilly morning that turned into a beautiful day!

Claire was all bundled up!

Poor Claire tailgated in the trunk again...

Emmerson's favorite thing to do...run around at IU!

We got to see some of our cousins!

Emme got to play with her friend Maggie. She likes popcorn as much as Emme!

Claire and her friend Nash love to see each other! It is so cute to watch. They grab each other, smile and talk!

Trunk or Treat

Emmerson's school had Trunk or Treat last Friday. Daddy took the morning off to go with us!

To no surprise she had to pick just the right one...

Emme loved looking at all the decorated trunks.

No more ear infections at our house!

After Claire's 5th ear infection her doctor sent us to see the ENT and we knew what that meant!

Yep, it's true...they say I need tubes! She really didn't seem to be too bothered by ear infections, slept fine, didn't run a fever, ate ok, but enough is enough! The ENT said it was time and they even got her in for surgery a week after our first appointment. She beat her sister! She got them at 7 1/2 months and Emmerson was 9 1/2 months!

When we got there (at 7:00am) this is what we found! Only Claire would be smiling with a hat over one eye and a VERY empty stomach!

So, they are going to fix this ear...

Umm Dad, What is this lady doing to my finger?

Just hanging in my hospital bed, waiting my turn!

25 minutes later....poor baby! She was SO out of it! Eyes closed, SCREAMING!

After a good nap...she's back to our sweet girl!

Pumpkins!

Emmerson was so helpful while carving the pumpkins!

She couldn't believe all the guts!

Claire wanted in on the action too! She kept looking at us like, are you really letting me do this?

SO fun!

Finished product!

So cute it's scary!

Pumpkin Patch

We made our trip to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins to carve. Emme was so excited because they had been talking about pumpkins at school.

These were SO big!


Believe it or not she did grow this year!

Our sweet little scarecrow!

Feeding the animals

Corn maze with Dad

We lost Dad!

The pumpkin Emme picked out for Claire.

Emmerson's pumpkin

Is this mine?

We liked the hayride...notice Claire is holding on to Emme! She doesn't want to fall out!

Emmerson was telling Claire all about her pumpkin. Best. Big. Sister. EVER!

Zoo Boo

We went to the Halloween celebration at the zoo. It is fun because the zoo is open at night!

Headed in with our bugs!

It was really sunny so we couldn't get anyone to look up at us!

A quick squeeze break!

Our friends came with us!

We had so much fun!
