Our two little pumpkin babies enjoyed the Halloween evening with neighbors. Pearl was dressed as a bunny because she is very attached to a stuffed bunny and carries it with her everywhere. Rose was Cinderella, because she is three and loves princesses. We have a very friendly safe neighborhood so it was fun to go trick or treating and rose was glad that she did not see any scary costumes.

Pearl officially turned one on Weds. We celebrated with my parents and of course took more pictures. When Rose turned one I took her picture in my wedding dress and wanted to continue the tradition every year on her birthday. I did not do it last year as I had a little on my mind and a lot in my tummy trying to get ready for Miss Pearl's arrival. This year on Pearl's B-day we took out my wedding dress and took a few pics. Rose was really cooperative as she was so excited to get to wear mommy's wedding dress. Pearl could care less and I really did not get any great pictures of her in it but may try again next week when she is feeling better. The girls both have yucky colds right now.

Double the birthday fun! On Saturday we had our first annual double birthday party for the girls. Rachel's mom, brother and sister-in-law and niece and nephew came from Mass. for the weekend. We also had some nieghbors and church friends celebrate with us.

My sweet Rose is three today! I can't believe how fast she has grown. Here are some pics. of her Birth Day and 1st and 2nd birthdays.

Rose celebrated her third Birthday today. Mike took the day off of work and we spent the day with her Auntie-Grandma and Uncle-Papa who drove here from Michigan. This morning she woke up to find that her bedroom and doorway was decorated with streamers and balloons. We took her to Build a Bear where she made a stuffed dog. After lunch she got to go to Chuck E Cheese to play a few games. This evening we had cupcakes. She is looking forward to her (and Pearl's) party on Sat.
PS I just had to include the photo of Miss Pearl shoving the cupcake down as she does with all of her food.

A hot day for a hay ride! Last Thursday the girls and I went to Linvilla orchard with my Mops group. Rose was a little leery of the Hay ride after her roller coaster fiasco the week before. (See previous post.) She ended up enjoying it. In her words "I was scared for the first two pages, but I liked the last four pages." I guess that it was like a story to her. Pearl as usual was just enjoying it all. She played hide and seek half of the hayride, putting my sling over her head, making it difficult to get a good picture of the girls together.
