Avery Grace was born on October 17th...she's ten days old in these photos. Isn't she beautiful? When I arrived to take her pictures, she was wide awake. It took a little more milk in her belly and some snuggles from Mom in order for her to happily doze off while proud big sister, Lily, looked on.
Last weekend, I nervously watched the sky as I drove over to the "S" family's house. Please don't rain. It had been overcast all day but so far, no raindrops. About two minutes after I arrived, we looked outside and it was misting. Luckily, it stopped after we waited a few more minutes and we were able to head outside for a little while on this chilly fall day.
We took our little lady down to Nebraska City yesterday and went to the apple orchards. It was a cool, overcast, fall day--perfect for taking pictures.
Twins, Paige and Paxton, turned two last week. The first time I held them when they were teeny-tiny newborns, they weighed less than five pounds! They have grown into two happy, rambunctious little toddlers who gave me a good workout. I'm sure they keep mom on her toes at all times! I am often humbled at the thought of my friends who have twins when I'm amidst one of those moments when I'm completely overwhelmed with just one child. I don't know how they do it.
