September 2012

I've decided that I need to document the last year for posterity. So even though this post won't include any witty, brilliant writing of any sort, it will convey something much, much better--the beauty that is my little family. I'll catch up month by month.

 We took one last excursion to the park on Labor Day. The swings are always the favorite destination.

Halle's first day of kindergarten.  Woods Cross Elementary - Mrs. Marcia Machado (Halle insisted on the quite elaborate poses that follow...I love them. I love her.)

Meeting Mrs. Machado for the first time.

 Halle next to her name on the bulletin board.

 We walked to and from school every day. I miss that already this year.

 Bath time! She looks just like her daddy.

 Making haunted houses for Halloween...a few weeks early.

 More walking to school. We walked with a group of kids in the neighborhood. Eventually, when I became overwhelmed by morning sickness, I just let her walk with them...and I slept.

 Pretty Miss Olivia.

 Messy Miss Olivia.

Olivia started walking! She wasn't even one yet.
