Reese & Riley from Birth to 9 months

Mom's precious pumpkins

Reese(left) & Riley (right)-  I love this picture of the girls.  It shows how much they already love each other.  It's great watching them grow up together.  It's not always sweetness but when it is, boy-o-boy is it ever precious.   

This is a rare photo with mom (me) in

 the picture.   It always seems like everything is so hectic.   This day however was great as I was able to spend it with my entire family.  

These are the best pumpkins I've ever seen.  My lovely husband and beautiful girls.  They are the very reason I have many thanks this Thanksgiving and for many more to come. 

Riley's having her say in picking out the biggest, best pumpkin.

Our three ladies.   Here's to raising strong, independent, loving, kind and generous women.   It's scary to think that I am and will be their biggest role model.   I hope I have gained enough wisdom, love, elegance, faith and compassion from the wonderful women in my life so I can successfully pass these mannerisms along to my lovely daughters.

I love them so much, it makes me want to cry. - Forever Grateful-

Our little walking babies

The girls are so cute when they walk around.  They hold their hands up to balance and look like little chickens running around.  Reese has mastered the art of climbing up on the couch and Riley is soon to follow.
