Sooooo lots has been happening in our lives!! We've been really busy, and we've got a lot of it on camera which is the reason this is a mammoth post..

SEPTEMBER 2008

Karisse & Callie have LOTS & LOTS of hair!!!

Sleeping little angel...

OK...this girl LOVES to sleep!
Mommy's SMASH group made this "Welcome Back" poster and hung it on the wall. They are soooooo sweet!

Karisse is making dinner and setting the table! She sets the table in "real" life as part of her chores. It's funny when her "real" life crosses over into make-believe land.

She's OCD too! Check out the perfect positioning of dishes & food. She did this without the help of Mommy or Daddy!

"Cheese!"

OCTOBER 2008

We took a trip to the Piney Flats Pumpkin Patch (thanks Poplar Ridge Youth Ministries) and Karisse helped pick our the perfect pumpkins! She chose two little pumpkins...one for her and one for Callie and a BIG pumpkin to carve. Since Karisse doesn't "do" Pumpkin goo (and Callie doesn't care), we opted for the Mr. Potato Head style Jack-o-lantern.

Callie isn't too happy about her 1st Halloween.

On our trip to see Aunt Moe, Addyson, & Uncle Justin in New Orleans, we stopped for a picnic.

Karisse got her face painted for the 1st time at a street fair in Picayune, MS. Although she doesn't look thrilled in this pic, she thought it was pretty cool and didn't spaz out at all (which is quite an accomplishment!)

Then, Aunt Moe & Addyson came to visit us in TN.

Uncle Russell (Daddy's brother) came to visit from Kansas City. He met Callie and got to play dress up with Karisse.

Callie has GREAT hair...

And great toothless grins!

Whew....here's the end of the longest post ever!!! We'll try to do better at doing regular updates!! The holidays are coming though...lots of pics, lots of family, lots of busy!
