I thought that today I would get to uploading some videos that I have of the girls from this fall. These first two of the girls and their dancing abilities. They love to dance just like Brett does, and it is really great to watch them.
This next video I took while we were having lunch one day at home. Lucy was falling asleep and this sequence that happened in the video had occurred about 10 times before I could get the camera to video her.
Although it make look as though she is actually eating that piece of the sandwich never made it into her mouth. Avery and I got a kick out of watching her.
This last video I took today. Lucy has really been getting into reading books and we a book about farm animals. We have been working on what animals say. Lucy came up with what a dog says all by herself. And as you will see we are still working on duck, pig, and horse.
Hope that you enjoy all the videos and are getting excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas. We will hopefully see the majority of you over the next couple of months, and can't wait until that time.

We Have A Walker
We officially have two children that can walk. While everyone has seen Avery walk for a long time, or littlest girl now is up and moving. And with every step that Lucy takes she wants to prove to us that she is her own independent child who will do her own thing. Avery started walking a little before 11 months, and Lucy decided to wait until 13 months. With Avery she took about three steps and then a couple minutes later took 7, and just kept increasing that. Lucy on the other hand would take about 4 steps for the last couple of weeks and then would take less and less as we tried to get her to do it. Then last week she walked from our couch to the carpet about 10 steps, and so I posted online that she could walk. At that moment she then decided to crawl for the next couple of days. The videos that are below are of her a couple weeks ago when she was first starting. She stood in the middle of the hallway and danced to the music.
At this moment I told her that any child that can stand up on her own and dance in the middle of the hallway with her hips swaying that they should be able to walk. From that point on she took it as a challenge and has been working on it. The rest of that morning we practiced walking in the hallway.
Overall she is becoming quite the little walker, and the only time we crawl is if she wants to get somewhere fast. It is very cute how often she likes to remind us that she is her own person and will do things in her own time.

The Princess and the Ladybug
For Halloween Avery wa
nted to be Cinderella, and Lucy fit in the Ladybug costume. For the last three years we have always gone over and trick-or-treated Grandma Max and Grandpa Tom (Auntie Mandy's parents). We hung out at their house and then they were nice enough to let us walk around their neighborhood and trick-or-treat. It was a lot of fun to hang out with them, Amy, George, Auntie Mandy, and Uncie Todd. Avery got a lot of candy, and had so much fun walking house to house to trick-or-treat. She new exactly what to say each time that the person would open the door and loved getting candy. Then when we got home sitting outside our door was two little baskets with candy, a teddy bear, and stickers that our neighbors had left for us. We tried to trick-or-treat them earlier, but they weren't home. Brett and I both thought it was very sweet of them to get our girls little baskets. Well, we hope that you all enjoyed your Halloween, and enjoy the pictures.
