Halloween Fun

We had a bumble bee bzzz'ing around and a kitty purring in our house for Halloween. Addison wasn't a big fan of the scary costumes or masks but was determined to keep Trick-or-Treating because as she said, "Get more candy!" Ella was a trooper and loved being bundled in her costume all cozy and warm as we went around the neighborhood.

Addison had a Halloween party with our Mom's Group/friends. They are friends we met at the hospital when she was born and we all still get together with the kids and just the Mom's too (alone at times). It is really fun-all the kids are about 2 years old (within 2 months of each other).

12 weeks old

Our little girl is growing up too fast! Here's a word from Ella:

I love watching my sister dance. My Dad makes me laugh with his funny faces he makes at me. I love sucking my fingers (not my thumb). I still love to sleep 3 hours at a time (my Mom says I need to work on that!) My favorite thing is I LOVE eating, that's maybe why I like to wake up every 3 hours! I am a good napper though and love to be swaddled tight. I just learned how to hold my rattle by myself. I can sit up in my Bumbo sit for a bit. I can't wait to start "playing" with my sister! I get to hang out with my big sister and her friends on playdates, which is always entertaining. My Mom is going to be home with me for one more month and then my Dad gets to be with me through January. That's all for now!

Fall Fun

We have been spending lots of time with the gorgeous weather outside this Fall. Check out our pictures from High Cliff State Park, Little Farmer, and the fire station and more.

Viva Las Vegas!

Ella got to go on her her first flight to our friends, Amy and Nick's wedding in Las Vegas. Addison stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa Mauk and had fun with them. Ella got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Baier in Vegas and with us. We were thankful both Grandmas and Grandpas were able to help us out so much and we were able to have a great trip and enjoy the fun wedding festivities as well as Vegas! Our friends Becky and Mark made the trip with us as well as their son and our Godson, Maxwell. Ella and Max tore up the town together!

Big Smiles!

Ella has more and more smiles every day. Addison seems to get her to smile the biggest usually!

Ella's Baptism

On Sunday, September 26th we had Ella's baptism. When the pastor brought her around the congregation to introduce her to everyone, she put her arm up, as if she was waving! It was pretty funny. We all enjoyed spending time with our families too.

Birthday Fun!

Addison turned 2 on September 8th! She had a fun at her birthday party. She loved it when everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to her. She also especially enjoyed her cow cake. She's been talking about a cow cake on her birthday for the past month or two!

We also had a Play Group birthday party with just a few friends at our house on her birthday. She

About a week ago, Addison as well as the rest of the family, visited the Packers training camp. Addison seemed to be fairly interested in watching the players practice and was especially hoping to see Donald, our favorite Packer but the up, close and personal time didn't happen this time. We did however make an appearance on the Fox 11 news. Addison's big line was her Packer cheer, "GO PACK GO!" We couldn't be more proud of her as Packer fans, have to train them early!
