Getting ready for Thanksgiving!

We are spending Thanksgiving in Chicago this year, and it is most likely going to be COLD when we get there. Momma has been watching sales and went to a kids rummage sale and found me this great winter coat for only $5! What a steal!

Um, mom, something isn't right here. What's with the coat?

Look at those teeth!

All bundled up!

Roar!

Obstacle Course

Now that Cecilia is up and moving around, Papa likes to make a maze out of our ottomans for her to move around and play. She uses them as well as the couch to get her move on and get to her toys!

Cecilia likes to taste all her toys, but doesn't like falling down!

On the move!

I Love Books!

Cecilia has really gotten into reading lately and loves her books! Here is a picture I grabbed of Matt reading on the couch with her after he came home from work. So cute!

Brunch the Day After the Wedding

The day after the wedding, Grandma and Grandpa had a brunch for the Hale relatives. Cecilia had a blast playing on the front porch, and really worked the crowd while she did so!

Phil & Cathy's Wedding

My older bro, Phil, just got hitched in Cincy. 5th of September, 2008.
Carly and I were so occupied with taking care of Cecilia, that we ended up without many pics of our own - so here's some that we were able to gank off of facebook, and some that folks sent us. Enjoy!

Cecilia's been growing up some lately - she's even taken to playing with new toys!

Later for now!

Trip to the Cincinnat Zoo

While we were in Cincinnati for Phil and Cathy's wedding, we had the chance to head to the Cincinnati Zoo. Cecilia loved it - especially the aviary, she loves birds! Here's a few of the many pics that we took. If you have a chance, check the slideshow with all the pics in it!

And a little rest after a long, fun day at the zoo!
