Pumpkin Patch Visit #2

Birc didn't get to go on her school field trip, so we went on a Saturday out to the same pumpkin patch we went to with her class.  Savannah got to get her face painted again, which was so exciting for her. ;)

And the lady at the check-out gave her a sucker!

Halloween 2013

Flapping her "Tinkerbell" wings.  Hilarious.

This is her Tinkerbell POSE.  Hands on her hips and one toe pointed out.  SO CUTE.

We had a great time teaching Savannah about "ticky teating".  We can't wait for more fun holidays as a family.  Savannah was Tinkerbell this year and an adorable one at that.  She unfortunately had 4 Halloween events she was invited to, so she had to dress up 4 times.  I thought that would be great, getting lots of miles outta this costume, but come to find out it ITCHES.  She cried and cried every time we had to put that thing back on.  Even with shirts and tights on underneath, it still bothered her.  Walker wasn't able to have on any costumes on Halloween so I just took his trick-or-treat bag up to the hospital and put him inside it to take a picture!

Fall Carnival at our church

 Savannah is SO excited about getting her face painted anywhere possible now! She loves it!

Not a great pic of her, but what she wore on Halloween to school.  We sent her costume with her to school, because they had a big party too. That marked time #2 in the costume. 

The third event was a fun party that her friend Reed invited her to.  There were treats and painting pumpkins and other kiddos to play with!  I took no photos there, sadly.

Fourth and finally, it was Halloween night! CC and Grandad came up to see her trick-or-treat, and then we trick-or-treated at Anna and Aaron's and Nana and Gran's, along with a few neighbors.  

She was apparently feeling about how I looked at this point.  Please remember we still had a child in the NICU and I am working, so excuse my horrible un-showered self.

Updating Finally! Walker is HOME!

Be on the lookout for lots of posts coming up all at once! I am finally sitting down to record what's been going on the past few weeks.  Walker is home! We couldn't be happier and he seems to be settling into our family just fine :) He is proving to be super laid-back and easy-going in comparison to his sister, which we all prayed he would be :)  He is also a great eater and sleeper.  He is pretty happy most all the time!  Walker came home on an RX of caffeine to keep him from having any apnea spells (common in preemies) and because of that he is on a heart monitor.  It is a belt that goes around his chest under his clothes, and has wiring that connects to a little box in a bag.  We take it everywhere.  He will get off of the heart monitor at some point.  It could be a month or it could be 4 months, we just don't know but we don't care!

Odd picture, she's just looking at a ladybug, but look at her adorable dimple! 

Too funny not to share! "Mama, TEETEE! Potty??"

I don't think this is a smile, just a funny face my camera happened to catch, but you can see his dimple too!

The night we brought Walker home.  

Here's his coming home outfit! The shirt was actually my daddy's (and Uncle Steve's) and my mom washed and ironed it, also adding some blue accents to go with the adorable pants she made to match.  He looked just dashing, of course.

Walker's roommate, Andrew, and his mom.  we became great friends!
