Halloween

For Halloween, Samuel was a skeleton, and Sophia was a peacock.

We had my family over to carve pumpkins.

It was good times. :)

We love to see the temple!

We had a Family Home Evening about the temple. We went to see the Bountiful Temple, but the grounds were closed, so we just walked around outside the gates. It is such a beautiful place, and we talked about how the temple allows our family to be together forever.

It was great to teach Sophia about the beautiful importance of the temple!

Samuel's Blessing

We blessed Samuel the beginning of this month. He looked so handsome in his outfit! It was a beautiful blessing, and it was so wonderful to see friends and family.

Happy Pictures

Here's a Picture Post. Just some photos I've taken over the last month.

Tummy time:

Sophia wanted to do it too!

The happiest face of all:

Firsts

Sophia got her very first haircut!!  (Well, more of a trim. It doesn't look any different.) She was SUPER squirmy, but very excited!

And here's Samuel taking his first bath, and hating every second of it!

Life With Two

Well, we're slowly adjusting to life with two kids.  It's pretty crazy, but we love them both. Samuel has some reflux and is colicky every evening, which has been a trial, but we're getting through it. His sleeping patterns are all over the place; some nights are better than others. Sophia is pushing in two top molars, so she's been a little cranky. She loves her little brother and can be a really big help.

Hopefully everybody continues to adjust and we (and by "we" I mean "I") start to get some more sleep. Here's some pictures for your enjoyment.
