McGurer Visit!

I had the honor of taking some family pictures for Dave's sister and her family while they were visiting us! They have the cutest little family!

Here are a "few" of my favorites...

Thanks for letting me take pictures of your beautiful family!

Ten Months!

Ten Months already??

Eli is into EVERYTHING :) He has even found the toilet, eaten a few ladybugs, and has made his way into the garbage too! Yikes! :)

He's standing up on everything up on everything...and will even stand alone without holding anything for a short time too!

He still has just four teeth! (Two top & Two bottom)

He has the cutest little scrunchy nosed smile! :)

Does great with table foods!

He babbles a lot! And just started saying "Bye Bye!" (I guess you could say...that was his first "official" word!?)

So thankful for our sweet baby Eli!

Splash!

Apple Orchard! (Updated More!)

It was a beautiful day for a trip to the Apple Orchard!

Dave's sister Eden, her hubby Larry, and their sweet baby Joy came along too!

They were here visiting from Denver this week. It was so great to finally meet our sweet new niece JOY!

Apple of our Eye... :)

Umm...

Him too :)

Wow! Uncle Larry is so tall!

Grace was showing her excitement too! :)

So many fun things to do at the apple orchard!

Isn't she a beauty!?

Peek-a-Boo!

Notice anything different about Dave?

I love that Eli still smiles from the camera!

Love the hair!

And Grace with a pumpkin too! :)

Out for a Ride!

Grace and Eli love going for wagon rides to the park!

Grace!

Not an unusual site...Eli always loses his socks!!

9 Month Stats!

Eli had his 9 month well baby visit yesterday! (Almost 10 month! :)

Our little guy is doing wonderfully!

Height: 28 1/2 (50th percentile)

Weight: 21 lbs. 12 oz. (70th percentile)

He sure is growing fast!

Ready for Class

Grace was all ready for her first day of class!

Grace and I go to an early childhood class for 2 yr. olds every Monday...and today was our first day! :) She had loads of fun! :)

Can't believe she'll be old enough for preschool next fall!!

Swinging

Here's Eli enjoying the swing...on a beautiful fall day!

Little Helper

Here's Grace taking a break from swinging...to help push her little brother!

Wagon Ride!

Eli took his first ride in the wagon today!

Grace was excited to have Eli as a riding buddy! :)

Can't believe Eli's big enough for a wagon ride!

Wrong Way

I think Grace likes climbing up slides...

more than she likes going down them!

Grace & Grandpa

Grace Update!

I think it's been awhile since I've done an update on Grace!

Where do I even start?? :)

Grace is just so sweet and we are so very blessed to have her in our lives!

She seems to be quite the little girly girl! Loves shoes and "talking" on the phone! And...she's only 2! (Yikes!)

She loves going for walks...and spending time at the park!

The first thing out of her mouth every morning...is "Good Morning Mommy...Good Morning Daddy...Good Morning Eli" (Love it! :)

She calls Eli "I-lie"

Grace still loves Curious George and Elmo! She has recently found a new love for Dora the Explorer too! :)

She's still quite the little "People Person" and usually separates from us without a problem.

She's very much an observer when she's around other kiddos her age. Once she warms up...she soon her goofy little happy self!

Grace still loves to sing songs...and read books too!

I'm sure I could go on and on...but I'll spare you all :)

Here's some pictures of Grace after church today!

Puppy?

Nope...it's Eli! :)

Feels like Fall!

Just a few weeks ago...we were cooling off in our pool!

Now we're dressing in layers!

Here's Grace and Eli ready for a walk...

A beautiful sight we saw while walking...

Ready to Go!

Here's Eli all ready and eager for a bath!
