Austin's Departure

Austin left last night for ATP (Airline Transport Professionals). He arrived in Pheonix this morning around 9 am. He was so brave and happy when he left. I thought I'd be an emotional mess but I'm not. I was a mess yesterday until Austin told me about how happy he was to be starting the rest of his life. He said "the future has arrived". I haven't cried since. I feel a slight heaviness in my heart from missing him but I have it together. I'm organized. I'm also excited for the future...and the near future...Christmas :) These are pictures we took in anticipation of him leaving.

Alayna's Tinkerbell Birthday Party

Alayna just turned One! She's trying to walk but India mostly gets in the way of her practicing.

Oooooo

Alayna learned how to make this funny little face not long ago. Here she is eating her pizza and Oooooing.

More Dinosaur pictures

India was so afraid of this fake shark!

Thanksgiving Point Dino Musuem

Feeding Alayna to the TRex




We spent a day at the Dinosaur Museum this week.

Wonder of Wonders...Miracles & Miracles

We never thought this day would come! Our little India can use the potty. She saw that her cousin can use the toilet and she realized that she could too. She hasn't had any accidents for a week now! Halleluiah! (however you spell it). She has princess, dora & tinker bell panties.

India Ariel

India was out playing on her daddy's bench and I couldn't resist taking a picture. I think she was pretending to be Ariel.

Feeding Problem Solved

Alayna is usually super messy whenever we feed her (see pictures below) and so I came up with a brilliant idea. I put her baby food in a bottle and cut a bigger hole in the top. She was never good with bottles but I guess the first time I tried this trick she was super hungry and figured out that you suck on a bottle and not chew on it. So now there is absolutely no mess and we get some snuggle time with our little 'layna

Halloween

Austin & I were Robin Hood & Maid Marian, Alayna was a bumble bee and of course India had to be super girl.
