October

Wow, what a crazy month it's been!! Where to start, where to start??

Well, earlier this month we had Aubrey's baby dedication at church. We feel so blessed to have found a church home and friends that we love so much!! There were tons of other kids being dedicated the same day. Some friends and fmaily were able to join us at the church to witness our commitment to raise Aubrey in a Christian home and do everything in our power to make sure she loves the Lord! Here's a picture from that morning.


The day of her dedication when we got home, we realized that Aubrey was running fever. Clint took her to the dr the next day, and he ended up treating her for H1N1. The tamiflu made her feel better quickly, and luckily she didn't get too sick!

Last week I took the girls for their check-ups. Aubrey weighed in at 21 1/2 pounds!! Praise the Lord she is FINALLY back on the charts, and actually came in at 6th percentile for her age!! She is 30 inches tall, which is 12th percentile. Madelyn weighs 31 pounds and is 36 inches tall, so she's at 50th percentile for both height and weight. Aubrey also got her first hair cut last weekend. Her hair had gotten out of control, so I finally broke down and had it cut. It's MUCH shorter and I actually think it's gotten curlier, if that's even possible!!

Last night was Trunk or Treat at Christ the King. We have been lucky enough to borrow several costumes for Madelyn to choose from, and finally convinced her to wear our favorite one - the skunk!! She was quiet for a while, and finally told Clint, "I don't want to be a stinky skunk!!" So on Saturday I guess we'll let her be the kangaroo, which is her favorite! We also borrowed an adorable lion costume for Aubrey. Here are some pics from last night.

Aubrey wasn't too sure at first. But once someone put candy in her bucket - she was ready to go!!


Tonight we got our pumpkin to carve, and the guy at the pumpkin patch gave the girls each a small pumpkin of their own. I thought it would be fun if the girls colored theirs with markers. Boy, it was fun indeed!!


Clint and I went to a Halloween party with some church friends on Saturday night, and Clint wore a mullet. It was hilarious!! Here's Madelyn trying it on....


Well, I'm sure I'll post more pics after Halloween. Everyone have fun and be safe!

I love their costumes. Madelyn is the cutest little skunk ever...stinky or not. :) And I'm glad you convinced Aubrey there was nothing to be afraid of by wearing the lion costume. Too cute...thanks for sharing!
