My new do.

Before cutting 6 inches off of my hair.

After!! This will take some getting use to but it was time! It is so much to get myself ready and with 3 kiddos I need all the help I can get. Allie didn't seem to notice so I'm glad I didn't totally freak my baby out.
I'm so excited that Thanksgiving is next week. I will be off work Thursday-Sunday and I am ready to spend some quality time with my kids. It's really hard to be away from Allie 8 hours a day. She is only awake a few hours before putting her down for bed.

Our little princess.

Day Care=Happy Baby but Sad Mommy

Allie is doing great in day care. We will drop her off around 730-8 and pick her up about 315. She has a young lady for a teacher and she tells me everyday how much she loves Allie and how well she is doing. She gets lots of attention from everyone. I think about her all day at work and smother her with hugs and kisses when I pick her up. She is such a sweet baby. She is walking a little and now calls me momma. She will reach for me and say ma ma!! I love it!!! I think she will have the walking thing perfected by Thanksgiving! Wanted to send a shout out to baby Mia. We are thinking of you!!

Mom and the boys

Our beautiful baby
We had a Halloween/Birthday party for Allie and Brian last night. We had such a wonderful time with all of our friends and family. We even had a bon-fire back in the "haunted woods". Allie was wonderful as usual and enjoyed all of the attention. Brian turned 11 and had a ball. At the end of the night he was so tired but very thankful for what we had done. I go back to work Monday so this was a nice way to end my time at home with my family. I love you all so much.

Fun day at Chuck E Cheese

Our two babies having lunch

What a fun day at Chuck E Cheese. Delaine and I met today for lunch and a play date. This was the first time the girls got to see one another since leaving China. They had such a fun time and we had an even better time seeing our two precious babies together again. Delaine and I teared up a little when we put the girls together at the table. They would reach out and touch each others hand. It was so sweet and precious. We are so fortunate that we live so close together so that the girls can forever stay in touch. For those of you who don't know, Allie and Julianna were together everyday for the first 9 months of their lives!! Our girls are definately growing and bonding very well. What a blessing to witness.

Allie loved the pumpkins!


Fun at the Chowan County Fair
