Fall & Pumpkins in Sumner

Watch out for those crazy Miami Drivers!

aka gords

BOO!

I’ve never seen so many pumpkins in my life!

Seriously! Lots of cool old trucks.

Dan posed for me in this giant cornucopia.

Fresh WA farm produce

Geez! Look at the size of these cabbages and apples! Do Washingtonians use steroids or is it just in the soil?

My 1st Real Corn Maze

Now I understand why they say “The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye” haha wow it was so tall and thick, like a corn forest.

The Cow Train! For you mom

Below very cool painted pumpkins.

Flashbacks from the past Month

Since we moved to WA state with our newborn, life has been crazy. Mom has been bugging me to post so these next two posts are for you mom. Enjoy!

4 Generations! Can you believe it?

Ginny’s First Bath

Whew that was stressful, glad that’s over. Dan and I do it now as a team. Hint to new moms: I have discovered it calms them down a lot when you put a warm wet wash cloth on their tummy. I also pour warm water over her body throughout the bath. She loves it. Thanks for the help mom… she took the pics while I bathed…

Ginny’s Blessing Day

So tiny!

A big thank you to Janet and David for flying out special for Ginny’s blessing day. It meant so much to us having you there!

The Many Faces of Ginny Mae

Special Thanks to Ginny’s aunt Emily. She made her this adorable sweater just in time for fall in WA!

This last one is one of my favorites- so curious.

"Hello World" by Lady Antebellum

Traffic crawls, cell phone calls
Talk radio screams at me
Through my tinted window I see
A little girl, rust red minivan
She's got chocolate on her face
Got little hands, and she waves at me
Yeah, she smiles at me

Our First Day as a Family:

           Mommy, Daddy and baby Ginny Mae

Hello world
How've you been?
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel cold as steel
Broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, a little hope
In a little girl

Hello world
Every day I drive by
A little white church
It's got these little white crosses
Like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in
Say a prayer
Maybe talk to God
Like he is there
Oh I know he is there
Yeah, I know he's there

 

(Above) Audrey on oxygen, IV’s, blood pressure and heart monitors- the works! whew…

Hello world
How've you been?
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel as cold as steel
And broken like I'm never going to heal
I see a light
A little grace, a little faith unfurled
Hello world

Vital Statistics- being weighed, measured

Sometimes I forget what living's for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I'll be there
Oh I'm home again

We’re both smiling… awww

Hello world
All the empty disappears
I remember why I'm here
Just surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
Oh hello world
Hello world

The Proud Parents! yay!

Baby Girl 23 weeks

This is our baby girl at 23 weeks 2 days. Isn’t she beautiful? And she’s so strong. I’ve gone through so much physically so far in this pregnancy but she has remained healthy through it all.

So the 1st pic below is a profile view of her cute lil nose and lips. She’s gonna be a hottie….

Another profile pic below but I love this one cuz it shows her head and especially her little hand.

Cute story: When we were doing the ultrasound last time, every time the sonographer tried to get a pic of her face, she would cover her face with her hands. So eventually we had to trick her and take pics of other parts and then really fast come back to the face, and we got one! haha She’s smart…

I really like this pic below because she’s about to suck her thumb. Yea you see the thumb? That thing about to go into her mouth! haha So cute.

(Below) Just so there’s no confusion the doc labeled it for you all… haha

Another funny story about the above pic is that the sonographer kept commenting on what a cute bum the baby had and so naturally I said “I guess it’s genetic.” She laughed so hard she had to stop the ultrasound for a second. haha

Here’s a pic of her spine and the best pic we could get of her whole body.

So we can’t decide on a name. We NEED YOUR HELP! We have two potential names. Please place your vote and help us decide.

Your Voting Options:

1. Virginia Mae (Ginny Mae) and yes we know Harry Potter’s girlfriend is named Ginny haha

2. AdaMarie (first name, no middle)
