Look who we ran into at the mall!

It was such a blessing to see my dear friend, Lauren
and her little girl, Emily Ruth (one month older
than Anna Kate) Lauren was home for Thanksgiving
and we got to see each other a few times.

We're getting these girls ready to be roomies at
Converse one day-on full scholarships of course!:-)

Grizwald Family Christmas Tree...That's exactly what it felt like when we untied the Christmas tree the other day! It's huge!

We decided that since we're selling Christmas
trees, we should probably opt for a REAL tree this
year instead of taking the easy way out with the
pre-lit artificial. I forgot how much more work it
is to string lights, etc...!

1000 lights!

Getting in the Christmas spirit-it's our own
Clark Grizwald!:-)

Setting up Christmas Trees

Year #2 of Christmas Tree sales...here are Gerrick

A hard days work and still going! Praise God
from whom all blessings flow!

Discovering BOOKS!

Trace and Daddy-reading two books at one time!

Trace's new bookshelf in his playroom

What a prodigy-we hope to be reading chapter
books by the end of the year!:-)

Diaper changing lessons...

We are now offering "diapering 101" at our house
since we have two little ones in diapers! Here's Gerrick
with our dear friend, Luke Clamp. Luke and his wife,
Alecia, are expecting a baby boy in March!

Did anyone say, "OUTSIDE?"

The word "outside" is whispered around our
house these days...unless you're prepared to
go! We believe Trace would sleep outside if
we let him!

Trace is a getting the hang of this big brother thing...

Trace is getting used to Anna Kate a little more
everyday. Here they are after Anna Kate's
first "real bath" since her cord fell off!

Keep me warm!

Happy Halloween

My little clown

Our little pumpkin with her Papa

Anna Kate Taylor 10.29.07 8 lbs. 5 oz. 21 1/2 in.

Love at first sight!

What a cutie!

Right now we are thinking-oh my goodness...
we have two children! All of a sudden Trace
seemed like a grown child rather than the baby
he was just hours before-very surreal!

Trace blowing kisses at Anna Kate
(notice the red stained shirt-those were stains
of a lollipop-every attempt was made by
grandparents to keep Trace entertained while
waiting on Anna Kate to arrive!
