Our Precious Little Sedona

Some new pictures of our newest addition to the family, Sedona Hope

Thanksgiving

This was our first Thanksgiving as a family with a child who was able to really appreciate a day being different than another. We began a tradition this year of eating chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast with our hands while we watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was so much fun. Lelia loved the pancakes (as you can see) and the parade was great too...she loves music and dancing. She also loved the meal and it turned out great! I had to take a picture of my turkey because it looked so good :) I mom did teach me not to toot my own horn, but I thought this one was worth it :)

Pumpkin Patch #2

This was the second pumpkin patch we visited on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with Papa Toomey. We had a great time!

Our First Pumpkin Patch of the Season

We took Lelia to her first pumpkin patch this year. She loved it and it was so fun for us to watch her have such a good time. We are at a really fun age with her! We are enjoying every minute of this time with her.

Our Trip to the Zoo

Uma watched Sedona for a day and I took Lelia to the zoo. It was great to have some one on one time with Lelia, now that I have 2 kids my attention is very much split and Sedona gets most of it right now because she needs it. My favorite part of the day was just eating lunch with Lelia...it has been so long since she and I could enjoy a meal together without any distractions. However, I think her favorite part was the petting zoo :)

A Girl Loves Her Shoes!

One of Lelia's very favorite things, besides spending time with her daddy, is putting on shoes. Any shoes...her own shoes, my shoes, dad's shoes, visitors shoes...any shoes. I thought this pic was cute :)

Drowsy Dinnertime

Our first official falling asleep at the dinner table. I had always heard of kids doing this but thought Lelia was the exception...not so!

Grandma Mim and Grandpa Clarke's Visit

It has been over a month now since the Clarke grandparents came and went. We all had a lovely visit with them...they enjoyed their grandkids and we enjoyed being able to function more fully with the extra 2 sets of hands in the house. They were wonderful to have around!
