Picture with Santa

Bad Blogger

I know, I know... I've been terrible at updating this page.

So here's what happened the past month...

We went to the Christmas Tree farm in Maple Valley...

Dana liked showing off her mittens.

We went with Dave, Joanna and their son, Lucas.

Lucas and Dana are boyfriend and girlfriend... aw, cute!


KISS! KISS!

Dana is SO big! Over 20 lbs! So that means a new car seat!

Now, she gets to face forward - she loves it!

A couple of weeks ago we traveled up North to visit with Dana's Great Grandma.

Dana and her Mor Mor.
(That's Norwegian for Mother's Mother or Grandma.)

Dana, Elder Mor, and Mor Mor.

And, WHO can forget the Apple Cup??

Dana wore her colors proudly that weekend.

SWEET VICTORY

Halloween Weekend

Last weekend we celebrated Halloween at SVLC with some friends: Madelyn (from the book) and Mario (Luigi was helping with the chili cook off). I think Allen had the scariest costume -

a Cougar Fan.
Dana and her Daddy
On the 31st we met up with our best friends to go trick or treating! Here's Lucas the giraffe and Dana the Teddy Bear.We only made it to one house (Lucas' Grandparents).
Mmmm, candy!

On Saturday we visited some friends!Fellow Bloggers - Liliana and Talia

Then on Sunday we saw Dad, Kerry and the Thurik's brood!

Dana was very interested in her cousin, Chloe.

Dana seems to like playing horsey with the dog...

Poor Maggie!

Climbing the Stairs!

She has this down... well, almost.

Happy Fall

We went for a walk on the Preston-Snoqualmie trail this past weekend.

It was absolutely beautiful.

And, we went to the pumpkin patch... we all had a great time!

Dana was more interested in the woodchip ground cover than the pumpkins.

"No, Dana, don't eat that..."

Dana's First Tooth

After many efforts this week I was finally successful at getting a picture of Dana's first tooth.

She was very interested in the camera.

Then I got busy with some laundry and when I checked on her...

Poor Paul Bunyan... what did you ever do to deserve this?

Got to put that new tooth to work!

I guess it's time to put the big kid books up high for a while... at least until she's out of the 'everything goes into my mouth' stage.

What a beautiful, happy baby. I feel so blessed to have her!

Pulling Up!
