Halloween March

Lisa put on an adorable "Halloween March" for all of the kids filled with costumes, cookies, candies and treats. Anya and Pops joined in the fun and we got some fun "preview" pics for Halloween!

Daddy is so silly!

Lisa with all the kids!

Sam the not-so-cowardly lion :o)

Some of Charlee's playmates, Isaac, Charlee, Jordan and Natalie

Pops rockin Charlee's Dorothy wig...he looks like he is in the movie Psycho...but in a lovable way of course!

The Women's Conference

For the third year in a row I was fortunate enough to attend The Women's Conference in Long Beach...this was the best year yet. What an incredible day filled with inspiration, joy, education and celebrity sightings! Here are some of the amazing women and men we had the privilege of being with: Mrs. Obama, Maria Shriver, OPRAH!, Laura Bush, Jill Biden, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sandra Day O'Connor, Diane Sawyer, Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Deborah Roberts, Dr. and Mrs. Oz, Lisa and Laura Ling, David Goldman (amazing!), Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mary J. Blige, Sarah McLachlan and the list went on and on! Thank you, Mommy, for spending the day with me...what a bonding experience!

A few of my coworker joined us for the day...a good time was had by all!

It's Raining, It's Pouring!

and the old man is snoring! We are experiencing our first thunder and lightning storm of the year and Charlee is loving it. This morning I pulled her into bed with me at 6:15 to listen to the rain...she was too funny...every time the thunder boomed she said, "Thunder, I like it! Ooooooo." It was so precious and I loved the warm, cozy, snuggle time.

Hangin' Out

These two kiddos are best buddies...Sam tries to do everything Charlee does...it definitely keeps us on our toes! Here are some fun pictures from the last week:

Eating Cheerios together

Sam showing off his first tooth...when looking at the picture it is bottom left :o)

Charlee channeling my Granny Fanny...it is uncanny!

Daddy Daughter Time

While Sam and I were bonding with the Marshall's, Norm and Charlee got a very deserved Daddy, Daughter Date Weekend. I will have many pictures to add to this post but I have to get them off of Norm and Anya's camera. On Friday night they went to Disneyland and then had dinner at BJ's Pizzeria...so precious. Saturday they spent the day at the LA County Fair with Grandma and Papo and Sunday they completed the weekend by going back to Disneyland and bringing Anya and Pops with them.

Cherrio!

Sam just turned 8 months old and he is growing up before our very eyes. He is ON THE MOVE crawling around, pulling himself up and climbing onto anything he can...we have another active one! Saturday was an exciting day because he cut his first tooth! To ring in his newly discovered eating device we decided to try Cheerios...he loved them! The best part is that Charlee loves feeding him as many Cheerios as she can...they are so funny together.

Strike a Pose

Nora Madeleine turned one month today and Katie posted this picture of her sleeping...I almost fell out of my chair because I have the SAME picture of Sam at one month. I swear it is destiny...if they get married one day these shots are for sure playing during the wedding slide show...hehe!
