The annual trek

Darrin and I have been going to eckert's since we started dating i think. We are not the run to the store and get a pumpkin kind of people. 2 years ago we got to take Mia, and now this year, we were able to take Luke. Not that he knew he was there, but we have the pics to prove it. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure, starting with some vintage pics.

i wanna be a supermodel.....

amelia is full of different poses and can really ham it up for the camera! Especially when she had crazy hair or her PJ's on, not when i have her hair done and an adorable dress on her!! here are some examples - i especially love the one with the book in her hand!

here is an example of how she can capture her audience! the serious, far off look!

it's hard being #2...

She cooks

Amelia and I made cookies for the first time for halloween. She had so much fun! she loved putting sprinkles on the cookies, especially the ones located in the right lower corner!

flash back to week 2

it is definitely harder to keep on top of their blog with 2 kiddo's in the house!! here are some pics i took of Luke when he was about 2 weeks old. such a snugly boy! amelia wore this same outfit when she was a baby too!




amelia in the same outfit. for comparison!

he smiles

Although i have heard from a few different people that Luke cries a lot, he does have his good moments. here is an example of a good moment :) he is usually quite happy during the morning, it's the evening that he has problems with. I'm sure he will out grow it.

**EDIT** that is not a pink sleeper, it is khaki colored. do you think I would i really put Lucas in a pink sleeper??

all decked out for halloween

My nana bought me this shirt so i thought i would take a minute to model it for you all! how do you like my braids?? Like how even they are?? Mommy needs to take fixing little girls hair 101.

Sailor boy

Lucas' abuela bought this outfit for him She kept forgetting to give it to me, and then continued to tell me how she was afraid it would fit him. It is newborn size and we all know Lucas' is grande sized! She finally gave it to me and I assured her it would fit him. Well, at least once. And it did! So these are for you, Bia. Hope you enjoy them!!
