Happy Halloween!

17 month old Ainsley celebrates Halloween as a lady bug!

Our neighborhood had a party for the kids and Ainsley had a great time. See pics below...

Ainsley has fun crawling through the tube... again and again and again.

Fall Fun :-)!!!

Ainsley standing tall at 33 inches...




What would fall be without a pumkin festival. Ainsley took her mom to a pumpkin festival to enjoy some hay and pumpkin pickin'. Daddy had to stay home and study :-(

Congrats to the Achterfeldts...

We wanted to wish Lindsey and Derek (pictured below) congratulations. The family welcomed in baby girl, Addison, this morning.

Ainsley turns 16 months as her mommy turns 30... YIKES!!!

Ainsley and Karl suprised mom with a trip to NYC. It was a wonderful suprise and even more wonderful seeing everyone again.

Before I get into the pics of NYC here are a couple of updates on Ainsley...

*She is bigger and heavier!
*Ainsley is copying sounds and she looked up at a helicoper flying overhead the other day.
*Ainsley has become a world traveler visiting 3 different states over the last 3 weekends... pics below.
*She is still working on her 4 incisors that have been coming in for ages. I believe we have 1 down and 4 to go.
*Ainsley was great on the plane. She would sign lights on, lights off until we turned the overhead lights on and off.
*She loves going outside and gets mad if she has to come in when she is not ready.

*Mom is doing well adjusting to her old age :-)

Enjoy the pics...

Daddy plays with Ainsley in the zoo.



Already showing us that Uncle Larry's jibber jabber hurts her head :-).



Everyone at TAO for dinner. She loved the fish.



Ainsley demanded to go to Alices Tea Cup for breakfast (the last time she was there she was inutero) :-). The scones and chai tea were divine!




* Thank you Christen, Courtney, Charles Paul, Larry, Karen, Jordi, Karl and Ainsley for making mommy's birthday so special!!

Ainsley visits the desert...

As Ainsley approaches 16 months we decided to take a trip to help Lindsey celebrate some big firsts in her life...

1st #1 - Her 1st baby is around the corner and a baby shower afternoon tea style was the only way to go!

1st #1 - Lindsey turns 30!!!! It was great to go out there to help her celebrate.


Enjoy the pics...


Lindsey treats the soon to be 30 year old to Pedicures... Thank you Linds :-)
