First Snow!

Can you believe the warm-weather leaf jumping was just two days before this?

The Frog made this huge snowball completely by himself while I was inside nursing Hazel.

He loves throwing snowballs but it's completely nerve-racking  because they never fly predictably.  Guess this might be a good time to teach him how to throw properly.

Peach finally woke up but didn't know what to think.  It's hard for her to walk and she prefers holding your hand.  (which is great because she will never usually hold my hand)

The Frog's giant snowball was begging to be turned into  a snowman, and he thought there needed to be one for each kid.

It continued to snow all night long...

poor broccoli...

Once Peach discovered how tasty snow is, that's pretty much all she does outside now.  I caught her eating snow from a car bumper in the church parking lot yesterday.  Bleh!

Once the driveway was shoveled, Jay took the kids for "sleigh rides".

Notice Peach is still eating snow...

We really should get a sled... poor Jay- running in deep snow with all the gear is exhausting!

The Frog thought it didn't look too hard.  Peach- still eating snow...

Fall Fun

We had some beautiful weather last week and The Frog suggested some leaf jumping.  I could tell it was much more fun for him this year because Peach was in on the action as well.

I love how far back they go to get a running start.

Warning: Cute Overload

I'm feeling guilty because even though Hazel is now 19 days old, I feel like I've hardly taken any pictures of her, mostly because I haven't had any "photo shoots". Here are some phone and camera pics I have managed to get.

She sleeps in the bouncer on the kitchen table quite frequently.  I am AMAZED at the commotion she is able to sleep through.  I supposed she had a lot of practice in the womb.

The real camera was already in the car when we put her in the carseat (for the first time) at the hospital.  I picked this outfit because it's the smallest one I own, but I'm regretting it because I think it makes her look like a boy.

I love these elephant ears.  My other newborns heads always flopped around and looked like they were going to break their necks!  I wanted to buy one so I could try to copy it and make some to give away :)

Her pirate face

When not swaddled, her hands always end up by her face.  I love that her arms are too short to touch the top of her own head.  Babies are so funny lookin' :)

I'm pretty sure this is what she looked like most of the time in my belly.

It appears she inherited my affinity for hang nails.  Sorry sweetheart...

Don't you just want to nibble on those toes?!

If I had the time, I would just spend hours watching her sleep.  They make the funniest faces.

Smile preview :)

Hazel's first bath at home

She has super super dry skin and doesn't enjoy  the lotion application...

She is so stinkin' cute when she sleeps!
