Happy Halloween

From our circus to you!

No idea but it's cute.

It's not yellow. It's not little. And it's most definitely not out in the country.

But it does have lots of space to play and picnic.
Views of our very own creek.
Plenty of room for Juju monsters to attack.
Walls that we can paint. PINKPURPLEandGREEN with DINOSAURSSTARSandTINKERBELL...
An upstairs with room for two big girls to have their very own bedrooms. And bathroom too!
Honestly, after the experience of the past little while. I'd be happy in anything we could call our own. But we think this place is pretty special and we're super excited to move in and make it ours. Nate's already started - he's been hard at work tonight sanding those floors down so they can be a little less orange. :)
I hope so so soooooo much that I'll be able to look down there and see 3 big girls one day. I really, really have no desire to move again. Like never, ever, ever!
Did you think I could do it? A post with out a Juliana picture? Impossible! Although you'd have to have a video to catch how fast that little booger moves across that empty house.

Not the grass!

This was while we were in IL last trip so maybe a month ago? That's when the last posts pictures were from too- I'm a bit behind. For some reason Juliana was just hating the grass in Grandma and Grandpa Z's yard. If you started to lower her down she'd just start screaming. It was pretty funny. Luckily she's over that as trying to eat grass is now one of her favorite pastimes.

friends... just some snapshots

We got the chance to visit some dear friends that live very far away, we've been trying to get the for years now so this was an especially joyful trip. Juliana was learning to sit up so she was hanging out on the picnic table (she's pulling up now!)



These are in a random order - this was our visit to a preserve area.
E hanging out her baby clothes.
More preserve - it was so pretty.
All the big kids trying to stay in the hammock.
Lots of back yard picnics sine the weather was incredible.
She sat still. And looked at the camera! Amazing!
Crickets and princess dresses, that's so Rosie.
The wild horse in her native habitat.
Little boy hands!
And feet too.
Thanks guys!

It's been awhile. Can you handle it?

The cuteness, oh the cuteness! Juliana turned 6 months this week. She's been crawling for a couple of weeks now and is trying to pull up. I keep telling her to stop but it's just not working. She figured out how to sit up, crawl and sit up up from a crawl all within a couple of days - whew. It didn't even really give me any time to get pictures of her sitting up - she can escape now. She's working on getting things with her thumb and finger and really just watching us intently. I wish I could capture the serious focused look she gets when we clap or do something she so obviously wants to do. She's definitely a fun age right now, the girls are loving being able to crawl around and play with her.
p.s. the internet at our temporary place is insufferably slow. Hopefully I can play catch up later because this place is seriously lacking in big girl pictures. I just couldn't let a half birthday go by with out a post

somebody has been a little busy...

reunited...

My computer and the internet are finally speaking again. It's been a long couple of weeks. Just some of my favorite Jules images from the past little while.

She's turned into a rolling inchworm, had a bit of fresh peach, found her toes, and started giggling more.

Juliana stats

Had a 4 month visit yesterday. She's right on track and above developmentally wise,
13 lbs and 25 inches long .... we really thought she would weigh more judging from all those chub rolls she's got going on!
She started rolling from back to front too.
No pictures until I get my computer set back up...

the shot

Does everybody have a baby picture like this? I know on my bookshelves I happen to have two remarkably similar ones. All equally beautiful, of course.

We have....

Carrots!!! Obviously ;)
I do hope you didn't think I was going to say "job" or "a place to live". Livelihood? Shelter? Nope, but we do have produce!
