We started our Halloween celebration off the weekend before. Our family came into town and we took the girls to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween to meet them.Rosetta Fairy, from Pixie Hollow.TinkerbellSilly Kendall!Cousin Paul and Lauren watching the fireworks.A meeting with Mickey. The whole gang waiting for the parade.Aunt Carol and the cousins!

On another night, Lauren and Kendall spent time at the Wilderness cabin with my mom, aunt, uncle, and cousins. Lauren enjoyed going to a bonfire and watching an outdoor movie while roasting marshmellows. Gabe, Renee and I spent time with our cousins (kid free) at Epcot.
This picture was taken in Mexico, our last stop!

Buddy Walk

On October 17th we attended the Buddy Walk at Lake Eola, to support the Down Syndrome Association.

TEETH!

Kendall now has 5 teeth, with two more breaking through! Her bottom two came first. Then her fangs just in time for Halloween, or course. Now a third down below. The two breaking through is another bottom and one front tooth. DROOL monster is on the loose!

A Visit with Great Abuela and TiTi

In September, Great Abuela and Titi came for a visit.

Busy as a Bee.....

I've been SUPER busy with work, school, and two precious little girls.....here come the updates!

They SO love each other!

Lauren adores watching Kendall grow up. She gets so excited at every new thing Kendall can do. Lauren takes pride in knowing that she in some ways has taught her these new things!

In addition, Kendall adores Lauren so much that she won't ever be in a room without her. If Lauren goes to play in her room, Kendall chases after her! There are even moments where Kendall will cry for Lauren.

Did I mention?

I can feed myself. Big bottle, little bottle, no biggie! Yay, Mommy gets a free hand.

My first boo-boo ;-( ;-(

Need I say more...... ouch ;-(

Love playdates!

I may not be able to have play dates on the weekdays now, but weekends still work! Kiley likes to tell secrets....
Cutie Patooties!

I heart DMB!

I got my annual Dave fix! Right before school officially started. I was lucky to sneak up to the 8th row with my sister!

She can do it!

When Kendall first started to crawl she was fascinated by this little step in our living room. She tried so hard one day to crawl over it and I took pictures with my phone!"Hmmm...step? I can do it!""Awe, man! This is tough!"

"I got my foot up!"

A congratulations kiss from Bailey! She did get over it. Unfortunately now it's not considered a speed bump in our house. ;-( She leaps right over it and into the next room.

Crawling Miss Kendall

7 months was definitely Kendall's month! She mastered crawling and has been ALL over the place. It's amazing to see the control she has over her body from laying, to flipping herself over, to sitting, then to crawling, pulling herself in the standing position, and the newest is furniture surfing! Crazy how natural it is. Kendall on the move! Watch out....

Naked babe getting those legs ready.

Lauren's encouraging her to crawl with her twinkle toe shoes.

Busy Season!

The start of the school is my busy season! This year it was even harder because our school is under construction and my classroom was moved to a portable. Lots of unpacking and setting up! Lauren was excited to visit.New room! I have windows! ahhh......It's the little things that we get excited over.

The old building!

This is what I had to start with! Lots of manual labor involved.

Oh, my where have I been?

Work, work, and chasing after Kendall! With Lauren's help of course. I have SO many memories to post! Here they come....
