Lola's 1st Tea Party!

Lola went to her first of I am sure many tea parties on Saturday! It was a lot of fun and I might add that she looked so adorable! It was a Christmas Tea that they have every year at the Anne Bickle House in Glenwood. We went with my mom, sister, niece Skylar, and my Aunt Rita and all her children and grandchildren. It was such a special time with special ladies! I am, however, a bit disappointed as I gave this lady my camera to take a picture of ALL of us there (around 15) and it's not there, so the picture must not have "taken". =(

So happy and excited for her first tea party!

Before we left...

Lookin' classy, ladies!

When we were in Morris this past week they had a "mini holidazzle" parade. It was a gorgeous night and Teague loved it - the candy at least and even Lola was a happy girl!

Look at that happy girl in her too big snowsuit and Teague can't concentrate long enough to look at the camera for the picture!

Excited to see Santa? Nope, more interested in what kind of candy he had to offer!

Lola had her 2 month check up this past Wednesday and the dr. reported her as "perfect"! We couldn't agree MORE! She is pretty dang wonderful. She weighed 13 lbs, 5 oz (95th percentile) and was 24" (also 95th percentile)! Hooray, she has almost doubled her weight! Again, perfect.

The big basketball season begins tomorrow. Oye. I am a little nervous, I won't lie. I did, however, have a last hurrah of shopping today/evening alone. I can say now that I am done, except for ONE person, with Christmas shopping.

Tonight we also spent the evening at Ryan's parents home for a nice pre-Thanksgiving meal as Esther will be gone to visit Dana, et al for Thanksgiving. We are planning to go to Morris for the annual "Mohr Thanksgiving" which to date has approximately 50 people attending!

Teague being silly! He has my phone up to his ear and the charger in his mouth...

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

My Cute Kids - A Pictorial Narration!

There isn't much to report (except that Lola has slept through the night a few times - Teague did that once at 6 months and not consistently until 10 months)! We can celebrate the small victories, right?! Both kids are doing exceptionally great and Lola has her 2 month appt on Wednesday so we will be sure to report what our little chunk of adorable-ness weighs in at! In the meantime here are some pictures from Ryan's phone that I uploaded and some other cute ones from the camera. Have a great week!

Shouldn't this be on a postcard or a picture hanging in our house?! This is Teague running through the fieldgrass on our property (on the way to see the cows I am sure)!

Cousins....ADORABLE! Chase and Teague looking in the water after a boat ride with Papa!

Lola in the hospital with her CSB/SJU hat. She even received a CSB (College of St Benedict) shirt in the mail from the alumni association as a subtle reminder that they hope she will enroll there in 18 years!

Teague actually thought his trick and treat bucket was a hat! We just about peed our pants laughing when we turned around to check on him. He was actually just looking out the window with this on his head. It was so CUTE!

My baby Lola as a duck!

BROBEE!!!! We got this costume for Teague to wear next year at Halloween for $4 (clearanced deal) and I don't think that this 4T costume will fit my big boy next year. In the meantime he loves to dress up in it though!

Wrestling with mama!

Lola's pouting lip (she still gets a little scared about certain noises!)

....but she can get happy just as quickly!

Hi sweet baby girl!

If you can ignore my singing this is a pretty sweet video of pretty girl Lola!

Warm Weather and it's November!

I am so glad to report that it is nearly 60 degrees outside...and it's November! I don't think it was ever this warm in October, was it!

We had a quick trick or treat - we went to the mall in St. Cloud with my sister and her family. It was a ZOO! It made me a bit panicked to know if I took my eyes/hands off of Teague for one minute he could get lost in that crowd! He got plenty of candy that he has enjoyed all week long. Lola slept the whole time in her little duck costume unphased by her first halloween adventure!

We have been spending about one or two days a week in Morris visiting my parents, playing with friends and Lola has been seeing a chiropractor a couple times a week. We aren't sure if she has reflux or colic, but I wanted to try something alternative to starting her on meds. It seems to be helping. She's a great night sleeper, many nights sleeping until 4:30 a.m. and sometimes later. I hope it continues, but I also know better than to think that it will always continue! ha!

Have a nice weekend!

Enough trick or treating?

Teague lovin' the noodles more than swimming!
