Time Flies by

So I have been meaning to update our blog but just have not gotten around to it. Life is crazy these days! It is certainly different with two little ones. We are so blessed with our two little healthy girls but everyday is a new adventure that sometimes brings on new challenges :)
Needless to say it has been a little hard to get around to posting, although I also hate that our computer takes forever to download pictures to the site!
It is hard to beleive that my maternity leave is over as of tomorrow!! Well I actually start the furniture market on Saturday until next Friday and then I start back at Polo the following week. Where does the time go?! Caroline is eight weeks old today and is doing great. Taylor still loves her and calls her, "MY Baby Caroline."
We are still working on this whole potty training thing. We definitely have our good and our bad days. Although Taylor really likes to get her blue and red M & M for going potty! (Whatever works, right?!)


So back on October 4th Rob and I were able to break away for a few hours for Morgan and Brad's wedding. My sister-in-law was a life saver as she came over to watch both girls. THANKS yet again Brandy!! Taylor played with her cousin Ellie all night and Brandy held Caroline most of the night while still trying to feed, play and put the two older girls down for the night. Sounds hectic to me!
Rob and I had a nice time at the wedding as it was nice to get out. Over the last couple of years you won't find many pictures of Rob and I together. I assume it is b/c we are concentrating on taking pictures of the girls. Well I was determined to get one of the two of us this night.

Me, Laura (7 months Pregs!!) and Meredith


Great picture of Mom and Dad!
Love ya!








Pumpkin Patch with Grammy...

Well this past weekend Taylor, Caroline, Grammy and I went to the pumpkin patch on Sunday. I mentioned it to Taylor before she went down for her nap that day then Rob and I decided later that we would go after work on Tuesday instead. As soon as Taylor woke up she couldn't stop talking about the pumpkin patch and when we were going. Since Rob was doing yard work, the girls and I went with Grammy. Taylor loved it! She kept climbing over all the pumpkins like it was one big play ground. She did pick out two pumpkins for her and Caroline...of course Caroline's was smaller than hers :) Still it was sweet that she picked one out for Caroline as well.

HAIR CUT for Taylor and same Pumpkin Patch but with Daddy...

On Tuesday Taylor had her first hair cut with Leah. I really want Taylor's hair to grow! Of course I want to style it and put it up in cute bows. Taylor is not so much into keeping her hair bow in though. Everyday I put it up to at least keep her hair out of her face but when I pick her up from daycare it is wild! Her hair and usually her clothes are out of control by the end of the day. I always know by the looks of her that she has had a good day and played hard! I figured we would let Leah trim and shape up Taylor's hair. Hopefully it will start to grow and thicken. Taylor did great for Leah. You can tell by the expression on her face that she was not sure of the whole process but as soon as I brought out the goldfish she was just fine! Leah gave her a lollipop and that really did the trick. Leah did a wonderful job--THANKS! And Taylor looks cute with her new cut and in her hair bow.

Before...not sure about this salon/hair cut thing!

All done...SAY CHEESE! Thanks Leah!








After the hair cut the girls and I went to Rob's work and then off to the pumpkin patch. Taylor was still excited about going again. She was all over the place; picking up pumpkins (she really likes the smaller pumpkins), climbing over the pumpkins and running around! This visit we got our big pumpkin to carve before Halloween.



We tried to get a picture together...
