Sassy heels from Aunt Laura. The scary thing is she is more graceful on heels than her mother!

Pure Torture!!

I made Laura do this...sorry Laura, but you're cute!


Oliver & Blake (8 wks apart) had their very first birthday party. They weren't thrilled with the hats, but they did it to humor the women in their lives! Typical boys.




We celebrated Berkeley Sinclaire's birthday on November 3rd. I am absolutely amazed that she is 2 years old already. I still feel like it was only a couple of months ago that I was throwing her 1st birthday party. How sad that another year has flown by. She was much more into her birthday this year and actually ate a cupcake. Last year she just poked at it and didn't even put it in her mouth. This year I let her have 2 in order to make up for it, but even still she only ate the frosting and it took her nearly a half hour to do that. She was very dainty and wanted to dip her candles in the icing and lick it off. I said a quick prayer over her clothing, but needn't have worried...it stayed clean! Hallelujiah!

She had a wonderful party and got some beautiful clothes, fun toys and lots of Curious George books! She is fascinated with George and I'm convinced she'd turn Oliver in for George! She still hasn't really warmed up to her new brother. She had better start warming up as he is almost half her size already! He went in for his 2 month check up and he is up to 10 lbs 12 oz and Berk only weighs 21 lbs. He is going to be manhandling her before we know it!

She is such a joy to us and I feel so blessed to have her. Happy 2nd birthday baby Berkeley. We love you!!!

Berkeley & Oliver's Halloween Pics










This year for Halloween Berkeley was a rooster and Oliver was the pea pod. We went to Fall Festival again and had a great time. At first Berkeley was really shy and clingy, but by the end of the night she was having a blast and didn't want to leave. I practically had to drag her out to the car. Oliver slept through the entire ordeal. I think he was just a touch warm in the costume. He probably felt like he was back in the womb!!! Here are some pictures...I am a little late in posting them because we had Berkeley's 2nd birthday party on Saturday so I was busy preparing for that. I'll post those pics sometime soon.
