happy halloween!

My brother-in-law posted these pictures on facebook of my niece. Isn't she the cutest little tiger?!

I was the only person NOT dressed up at work today. Haha. Apparently, I'm the Halloween grinch. I hope everyone has a fun and safe halloween!

finally.

Look at this cute family! That's my sister, her husband, and my sweet niece. They are finally together! Yay!!! Danny's been in Afghanistan for the past year, so it's been a long one for them. Danny's stationed in Germany and that's where they are as of now. We were so sad to say goodbye to Kaleigh and Mary Jane, but these pictures made it all worth it :)

Danny and Kaleigh, we're so proud of you and grateful for the sacrifices that you both made. We love you so much and are so happy that you're little family is finally together again. We can't wait to see more pictures and hear about all of the adventures you guys are going to have in Europe.

Love you!!!

We had another great and eventful weekend. A baby shower, a going away party, a graduation, a day spent with dear friends, a visit to Chuck E. Cheese, and more precious time with the little ones. I'll share pictures from the baby shower this week. I'm ready to fall asleep in our cozy bed wearing my comfy sweat pants.

I took these pictures of Mary Jane today. She loves tummy time and chewing her hand. She was very happy and chirpy today (as usual). She makes the sweetest sounds (very high and girlie). Because of these sounds, her papa calls her squirrel.

Limelife did it again. Jesse and Becky take gorgeous baby photos! They took some pictures of my niece, Mary Jane, and my sister, Kaleigh. These were Danny's birthday present. Such a great idea! They turned out beautiful. I can't believe how beautiful both my sister and niece are!

They took many more that you can see on their blog. While you're there, you should enter to win their giveaway! They're giving away a free photo shoot! You can have pretty pictures of your babies too...Or your sister's babies ;)

Out with the Girls.

Today, Patrick and I headed up the coast to my parents' house. It was such a beautiful day.

I love taking long drives. It's a lot more fun with a snoring pup in my lap.

When I got there, I found this cuddly duo on a huge bed of comforters and pillows watching the office. So cozy!

Mary Jane was about to get a bath. Somewhere in between changing her and getting the bath ready, she peed all over her auntie. This picture was after-the-fact. She thought it was funny- she had a smile on her face the whole time.

Watching her get a bath was so cute. She loves the water and was so happy. Kaleigh and I took Mary Jane to the mall while Mema and Papa watched Patrick. When we got back, the babies went to sleep.

I had such a great day seeing my family and hanging out with my sister. She's such a great mommy [and looks fantastic if I do say so].

I'm soaking up days like these best I can. My brother-in-law is in the army, so they will be moving to Germany in June for couple years. I will miss them terribly!
