I couldn't help it....

I know I will be chastised by some for changing the layout straight to Christmas, bypassing Thanksgiving, but I am so looking forward to this first Christmas with our sweet little one. So, for you who "tsk tsk"... don't worry, it's all gonna be a'right. :) And I couldn't wait to get "Breath of Heaven" on the playlist. I actually haven't excluded Thanksgiving because every single day since April 28th has been a constant prayer of thanksgiving to God for our blessed little one! Even on days like today when she doesn't want to nap and I have 1,000 things to do.

Could they be any more precious??
These are some pics we took at Olan Mills in September.
And yes, we have the copyright release :)

First Halloween

Here are some pictures of our first Halloween with Sophia!

Getting ready to go to the South Texas Maize just outside of Hondo, TX. There were many more things for kids to do when they are older than Sophia, but we got some good pictures out of it!

Great "cowch" for photo opps! :)

She's wearing a John Deere bib, but I don't think that was a John Deere tractor!

Our next stop was to Matthews' Learning Center where Sophia goes during the week. Carolyn had set up a wonderful place for fall pictures out front!

Playing with our friend Amelia.

Cutest little ladybug...EVER! :)

Getting in some fun time with Mrs. Matthews


The last stop of the night was to our church where they had a Fall Festival. They had lots of stuff for the older kids too, but here was a photo opportunity that was set up. They were taking and printing pictures for visitors for FREE!

Ready to ride off into the sunset....
