Just a little photo shoot - Allie Lynn...

Backdated - October 9:  Just a few pics of Miss Allie Lynn, sporting a girly headband from Grandma Sherri - and sporting it well :).

Allie's ONE Month Old :)

Backdated - October 9 (or probably more like a week later!):  We can't believe she's already ONE month old!  LOVE HER BUNCHES.  It took me forever to post these, but here was my original Facebook post...(oh Facebook)...

Oh my. I wanted to do something "original" for Allie's monthly photos since Thomas had his baseball theme, but for the life of me, nothing was coming to me... So, we had adventures of photo shoots over the past ten days and are finished now. We've decided we are going with the bunny, chalkboard sign (used in her announcement), and new pink wall theme, but the other "adventure pictures" were too cute not to share as well. TWO months should be easy! Love her to pieces!! And Thomas wanted in the "picture," too... FYI - all of these photo shoots took a total of about 7 minutes.

BTW:  Allie weighed in at 10 lbs 6 oz.  That'a girl!

Back on the FARM...life is GOOD.

Backdated - October 10-12:  We were anxiously awaiting the first trip back to the FARM since living in Iowa and since Allie was born, and it finally came!  The kiddos did GREAT on their first LONG car ride.  Praise God! 

And we were greeted at the car with "red carpet" by Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa.  They couldn't WAIT ANY LONGER to meet "this little peanut."

LOVE.

Great-Grandma "Retta" escaped to the downstairs with Thomas for almost an hour.  I was able to "sneak" a few pictures of her reading to him and them playing piano together.  Priceless.

Jakob, Grandma Sherri, and Miss Allie.

There is no other like the one and only, DREW.

A lovely morning and afternoon was spent at Great-Grandma Aud's...NEW toys!!

He's a natural.

We also got to experience our first ever Oak Grove State Park Halloween Hike.  It was a bit chilly - so thankfully Thomas chose to be Herky.  I'd say the cutest Herky around :).  (Allie didn't leave the camper!)

Some quality time with Aunt Beck.

Can't come back to the FARM without sneaking in a visit to Great-Grandpa Willard at the nursing home.  Love him!

And Thomas LOVES his walker.

Visiting everyone makes everyone a bit sleepy, though.

 Thomas had LOTS of time in the tractor, but I didn't manage to catch any pictures.  However, here's a good one of him and Grandpa Jerry!



Precious.

Bernie was a good dog in the car, too.

 

While Allie was busy sleeping, Tman (and Mom and Dad) had a few "dance parties"...
