Aria's Report Card...

...and her teacher, Miss Amanda tells me she doesn't like to give out "above-average" for 4 year olds. Only wish mine had been as good at her age. :)

Aspen Stats/Bridge Walk

Aspen had her one year well child visit last week. She is 30" and 21 lbs, 8 oz. (Aria was also 30" at her one year, but 25 lbs) I think the milk protein intolerance and the food strike for 2 weeks took their toll in October, but all seems to be well now and Aspen is eating up a storm! She'd have Chris' homemade pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner if we let her. Now if I could only find some green veggies that she likes...

Fall foliage is at its peak here in Arkansas and keeping the yard up would be a full time job (if we cared that much) We are having a lot of fun with the girls at the local soccer fields, Aria loves to ride her bike and we play "soccer" and wheelbarrow race and play on the climbing wall several times a week.

Here is a photo I like from the Big Dam Bridge (over the Arkansas River) moonlight walk. Beautiful night 68 and windy.

Aspen Turns ONE!!

The year has flown by! Now that Aspen has mastered walking (in every direction at top speed) she seems to learn a new word every day! In her repertoire: bear, baby, mama, dada, fairy, fan, puppy. She whispers just about all of them which is so cute. Her are a few pictures of her at her first birthday...she inhaled the cake!

Halloween!

Aria was Tinkerbell and Aspen a spider. We had a wonderful time trick or treating!

Halloween and Soccer

We are having a wonderful Fall! Halloween was terrific, Aria had a school costume parade, we did a great trunk or treat at the Methodist church and went trick or treating with Emma. Aspen is walking, saying "mama, dada, Aieya (Aria) baby" and turning one tomorrow! Where has the year gone? Here are some pictures of my wonderful girls...
