So much to be thankful for!

Mmmmmmm turkey leg - Steve smoked a turkey before we left on our holiday trip.

Mica was not willing to smile for the Pier 39 picture :(

Bay area swings are fun too!

Mica had her first Thanks Giving in San Francisco! We went and visited our friends Chris and Kim who are about to have a little one of their own. It was so much fun to share our little girl with all our friends in the Bay area. Mica did not exactly enjoy the hours in the car but she did pretty well considering. Now that she can walk (run) she was frustrated that she could not move and groove all day. She is very happy to be home runnin free - sort of :) She gets mad when I shut all the doors to limit the destruction.

Crazy Hair

Mica's first pony tail! Honestly I think it took me about 10 min to get this thing in her hair. How do other moms do it? Thankfully she left it alone. I had visions of her just pulling it out as soon as I was done. At least we got some crazy/cute photos of it.

Tiggers are wonderful things

This has to be one of the best Halloweens ever! Dressing up the worlds cutest baby is better than a bag full of candy any day :) We didn't go out trick or treating this year . . . ah . . . cuz neither Mica nor mommy need the candy (I cant keep saying "but I just had a baby" since she will be a year old in a few weeks.) But we did go visit the grandparents so they could see her in her costume. The best photo is still to come. Mica and I went and had lunch with daddy who also dressed up for the day as Pooh! They were certainly the talk of the school all day. I am waiting for the photo of them together as soon as I get it I will share it with all of you in Blogland.

Move over Aunt Jemima

I just love baby hats!

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with our good friends, Travis and Michelle, who also have two beautiful girls. Mazie is only 4 mo older than Mica and Zuri will be 3 in November. They already have lots of fun together. I think we all know that in few years we are really going to have our hands full. However, today we just enjoyed one of the best fall days that Oregon has to offer. The sun was out, it wasn't too cold and the the best part - no rain!

Little Tongue

Mica had lots of fun playing with her friends at the high school before a volleyball game. The girls just love playing with her. By the looks of it she is going to be just like her daddy :)

Hey, has anyone seen my cookie?

Its moments like these that just make me smile. Wouldn't it be great if all we had to do to make someone smile is stick a cookie to our face?
