Another month!

Is it just me, or is time just flying by these days? It's hard to believe it's already November! Good thing I'm about half done with Christmas already- my goal is to be done in the next 2 weeks so that I can really enjoy December! It will be a busy month for sure with Arianna's FIRST birthday, my birthday, Christmas and all of the festivities in between!

I have been told many times that when you have the second child, you don't take as many pictures and you don't record or remember when they achieved their milestones like you did with the first. I am definitely trying to prove them to be wrong at least in my case! I LOVE keeping track of them monthly and frequently look back at the changes and growth!

In late October, Daniel was 4 years and 5 months! He is getting so big- definitely getting taller! He is learning so much and his confidence has really grown the last 6 months. He is a tremendous help and an awesome big brother!

Arianna turned 11 months old earlier this week! I can't believe she's almost ONE!! It has really gone by fast. I remember being pregnant with her and starting with the contractions about this time last year! She is so much fun right now and her smile can light up any room- it melts me everytime! She is very curious and active and loves her big brother very much!



I can't say that I take less pictures now...you can ask Tony how many backup hard drives we have just for pictures and video- actually I think he's looking to buy another one soon! I thought about having you all guess how many pictures I took on our recent vacation, but it's really an embarrassing amount. We had our regular digital camera, a waterproof digital camera plus we used the Disney Photopass service where their photographers take pictures. Then of course there were the portraits I purchased on the ship....oh my! Go ahead and take a guess if you like....
