Fall Family Photo Shoots

At the beginning of November, we had family photos taken. A teaching friend of mine recently started her own photography business and over the summer we won a facebook drawing for a free session. She did AWESOME and we will be loyal customers from now on!

She did such a great job and worked so hard to capture a very important picture for us...Blakely standing unassisted. THANKS MILA, YOU ROCK!

Matchy Matchy with Mommy Mommy

Well, I am officially that annoyingly dorky mom that matches her kid every Sunday. But, I am not even sorry because I LOVE it! Gonna keep this up til she refuses!

Navy and White Polka Dots with Pink Shoes.

Just because we were traveling back from CO on
Sunday instead of going to church doesn't mean we can't match!

November Or Shall We Say NEWvember!

Well, beside one little set back, November was a breath of fresh air for us. Hopefully this is just the start of a new wave of goodness for our little family!

This picture was taken right before our appointment
with the genetic counselor. It was an appointment that filled us
with great hope, much like this sweet face does!

playing with momma on our day off.

She stopped playing and came and gave me a hug.

B's first school lunch. Chicken nuggets of course!

Goober made it into our bed one morning

Last day with a patch. We know for sure she will be
having surgery soon but we are waiting to see if it will
be just for her eyes up and down or left and right as well.

Well our little set back for the month...One Friday after an afternoon nap, Blakely stopped baring weight on her left arm. If she was a walker I probably wouldn't even notice because she would still eat with it, grab things with it and more but she wouldn't use it to crawl. We had our Dr check it out at church the following Sunday and then went back to the Dr. Monday when she still wouldn't use it and after xrays revealed a possible dislocated shoulder we went to the pediatric orthopedic specialist who said he thought it was fractured elbow and had us put it in a temporary cast and come back for more xrays in two weeks. Well, we went back and the new xrays revealed a fractured shoulder and that it is healing well and we don't need to do anymore. Whew. But seriously, we splinted her elbow for two weeks for nothing....grrrr!! But this kid, she is resilient and as you can tell it doesn't slow her down. Quite the amazing kid she is!
