Happy Halloween!

Jolie dressed up for Halloween for the first time this year. She was a cute ULM cheerleader! We went to the Fall Festival at our church tonight to collect some candy & have some fun. She was a big fan of the bear as you'll see below. Also, we didn't buy anything to put candy in so Todd thought it would be funny for her to carry her Easter basket, but we accidentally forget it in the car.

The Hawks

Sarah & Chad came to visit last weekend, but I neglected to take pictures with my camera so I'm sharing the ones Sarah sent me today. My girls are big fans of their Aunt Sarah & Uncle Chad. We wish we could see them more often!

Happy Birthday, Great Grandpa!

Great Grandpa Strain turns 82 next weekend & we went to Ruston to help him celebrate this weekend. Sarah was introduced to more relatives. Jolie provided the entertainment - as always.

Sunday afternoon nap

What once was lost, now is found...

Jolie's "sheep" disappeared about the time Sarah came home from the hospital & we've been looking for it ever since. I was hunting for a puzzle piece under the couch today & I was very excited to see the sheep. She has slept okay without it, but has asked for it at least once a week. She told me, "thank you, mommy, for finding my sheep." As you can see, she is "so happy" to have it back...

Bath time!

Bath time is a good time to catch Sarah with her eyes open. She is awake more & more during the day & even slept a 5 hour stretch last night! Jolie is a great bath time helper :)

Sarah at 1 month

It's hard to believe Sarah has already been here a month! I took her outside this afternoon for a photoshoot. She was quite the trooper. Here is our baby one month after her arrival...

My Big Girl

We had a good time playing outside today. Here is our big girl with her freshly cut bangs!

Do they look alike?

Many folks have asked me if the girls look alike. I think there are some similarities, but overall each one has their own look. I thought these pictures of them sleeping (wearing the same onesie!) let you see what's alike & what's not.

All Smiles

Jolie loves to take pictures with Sarah. We can't wait until Sarah can smile with her!

Paintin'

Jolie loves her new "paint with water" book! She likes to carry her brush around the house & paint other things & we are trying to put a stop to it before she has real paint on her brush!
