We are Penn State!

We took a trip to campus tonight to walk around and get some photos with the lion...unfortunately the girl who snapped the one of all of us took some blurry shots, and I didn't realize til I uploaded them :-(...oh well...it's not like we can't do it again! Here are some shots from our night. We had fun!

Out takes

Here are some fun out takes from our Goose, Bug and Bee photo shoot! Some are not edited, but I thought they'd be fun to post!

Slobber Face and Fashionista

I had so much fun with Isabella this afternoon! She didn't take a very long nap at all, but she was a happy girl when she woke up! While Justin was taking a little nap on the couch downstairs, I laid with her on the floor for about a half an hour and just played with her. We bounced on my leg like a pony and she kept leaning over and grabbing my face and slobbering all over it. I was literally drenched in baby spit-it was running down my face! We were both laughing so hard and having so much fun though! She's so sweet! I just love her so much!

It was a pretty good day over all. The fall weather has been incredible...cool and breezy. I just love it. The girls and I walked around this morning and picked leaves to make a leaf collage. It didn't turn out the way I had hoped. We laid them on wax paper and I doubled it over and tried to iron the pieces together, but they didn't stay together too well. It was still fun though. Once Justin got home (earlier than expected! Yay!), we hung a few more things on the walls and put a few more things away, then headed out to walk the mall and eat at a little pizza place we had a gift card for. Pressley just cracked me up with the outfit she decided to go out in...black heart pants, under a pink skirt with a purple t-shirt on, a baby bathrobe over that and a football bead necklace. Over all that she was wearing her Hello kitty track jacket and a head band in her hair like a hippie would wear. She has a style all her own! She's so funny!




So that was my day anyway...so fun, as usual! I love my girls...it's never a dull moment around here!

Tooth!

Ladies and Gentlemen...we have a tooth!! Isabella's smiley face won't be toothless for much longer. :-( She has a tiny little dot on her bottom gum.

Snapshots

I just wanted to remember this little snapshot of Isabella as I came to pick her up from the church nursery on Saturday...
She did great when I dropped her off, and she was in class with Pressley, so I'm sure it was nice for her to have a familiar face with her. But the best part was when I went to pick her up after the service. She was standing up holding onto a chair and Pressley ran over screaming my name and gave me a huge hug. Isabella looked at me and had this sweet smile that just grew all over her face and she reached her hand out and made "grabby fists" at me. Then, (the saddest part), she just collapsed onto the floor in tears. I got down on my knees calling her name and she ran/crawled to me. So very sweet...absolutely the best greeting I've ever received from my girls.

Prayer Time

Malia's prayer last night:
"Jesus I pray that you would love me forever. I love you. And I pray that you would make everyone not be bad. Thank you for the world. Thank you for my family and my friends. Thank you for the world. Thank you for my stuffed animals. Amen."

Day 2

We had such a fun day today! Justin headed out to help sort uniforms for work and the girls and I spent the morning playing Barbies and having a dance party. I did some unpacking too and hung some pictures in their room. Our couches will not fit downstairs, so unfortunately our seating is kinda screwy right now until we can find something that will fit through the doorway. Once Justin got home, we ran to Aldi to get some MUCH needed groceries, and then ran to Wegman's to try out their cafe and grab a quick dinner. To our surprise, they had a free kid's movie night! So we ate in the cafe and watched The Lion King 2. Apparently they do it as a monthly activity...so we will definitely try to come back next month! The girls had so much fun. They passed out coupons you could cash in for a free snack and juice box. Malia was thirsty and wanted a drink, but she was too shy to take her ticket in, so she had Pressley walk with her and they did it together, then Pressley went back a few minutes later to get Isabella her snack and drink. We didn't even make it through the store, but it is an awesome place. I can't wait to go back and check it out. I could spend hours there just getting lost in all the selection that they have...it reminds me of a Giant Eagle Market District. On the way home we saw a rainbow in the sky...I will say, the sky is pretty incredible here-especially against the autumn colored mountains!
