mamas and daughters!

my mom and i at the amy grant concert over the weekend!

a relaxing moment with my girls!

my norah bear!

norah is changing everyday! it's amazing that even after watching two other little girls go through all these milestones, it never gets old! i love watching norah eat new foods for the first time . . we've found out she hates green beans, peas, and squash, but LOVES pears, applesauce, peaches, and sweet potatoes - the verdict remains out on bananas! she is rolling over (both ways!) more and more - even though that makes life a bit more tricky now, we love it! she is trying sit up as well as getting stronger on her tummy! she's mostly sleeping through the night and has found her cute, sometimes very loud, voice! she has cut 3 bottom teeth and STILL remains to be such a happy baby!! we are blessed!!!

upgrade!

norah outgrew her bath tub hammock, so now she's been upgraded :) she loves loves loves her bath! and tonight her older sisters decided to join her! i think we're gonna need a bigger tub!

Birthday weekend!

Danny turned 30 this weekend! We had stayed busy with Auburn Homecoming and taking the girls to Disney on Ice - what better way to ring in your 30's?!?! :)

My mom and dad got us tickets for Danny's b-day . .it was wonderful football weather! (sorry for the glare)


We were given vouchers for Disney on Ice, so at the very last minute, we decided to take the girls, and i was soooo glad we did! we saw all the princess (except Aurora), Mickey, Minnie, Nemo & Dori, Toy Story, and sooo many other Disney characters! The girls were so excited, it was just a little preview of what Disney World will be like :)

Ella had her hand on her head most of the time - like she was in disbelief of what she was seeing! Layla was mezmorized . . it looks like danny was as well :)

Layla got the most excited when Snow White came out! She threw out her arms and started singing "Someday My Prince Will Come!"

trying to get a family pic during intermission :)

Norah was nice enough to sleep on me for the entire show!

Layla waving good-bye to everyone! They did not want to go home!

I tried to get a few pix of the ice skaters but it proved very difficult!
this was all the prinesses dancing together at the end

mickey and the mickey mouse parade

hangin with grandpa!

the girls were thrilled b/c grandpa had given them each $1 for gathering up the leaves in the front yard :) mommy didn't see any of that $$ !!

fall is here!

we've been having wonderful fall days this week and the girls and i have been taking full advantage of it: playing in the leaves, nature walks, and collecting acorns!

forgotten pix

we did get to go to a pumpkin patch this year . . we just didn't get "great" pix but here were a few of the decent ones :) we didn't know it at the time but both girls were getting sick so obviously not in a modeling mood!

Petting Zoo Party

Ella had a friend turn 4 today and had her party out at Oak Mnt Petting Zoo. Ella loved all the animals but Layla wouldn't go near them. i think they sensed her fear b/c they would swarm around her whenever I put her down!! We had a long, but fun weekend and I am ready for a restful week ahead :)

Double Trouble!

Halloween came twice for the brindisi babes this year!! We had Trunk or Treat this past Wednesday at church and then went out with friends last night! Layla went as Tinkerbell and Ella was Rosetta, a garden fairy from the latest Tinkerbell movies. Norah went as an Auburn fan :)




and drum roll please . . danny and i were Handy Manny and Kelly :)


trick or treating with friends . . it was pretty chilly so the girls had to wear coats over their costumes!

Norah's baptism

Norah Carolyn was baptized last Sunday by her Grandpa! Danny's parents made the trip up from Dothan and Norah's great-grandma and papa george made it all the way from delaware!! it was a wonderful day, made even more special that my dad has gotten to baptize all our girls!!!
