Mother/Daughter

Ivy came with me when we had our Junk in the Trunk photo shoot and Karen of Elan Photographie emailed this pic she snapped of Ivy and I.

11 months

Wow, only one month until Ivy is ONE! We're so looking forward to spending Thanksgiving, Ivy's first birthday, and I can't forget Deer Season with our families in Michigan in a few weeks!

 

I'm back from the most amazing trip to Peru with my sister! I'll post pictures soon. While I was away Ivy had some quality Grandma Debbie time.  They put many miles on the stroller, checked out some local festivals, and even made a trip up to the Grand Canyon.

Date night! Thanks for babysitting Uncle Dougie!

I've been doing a little Fall cooking/baking and decorating.  The other night I made Acorn Squash & Sweet Potato Soup and I wasn't sure if Ivy would like it because it had curry in it, but she loved it!  We really haven't found much the girl doesn't like when it comes to food.

This new toy is sooo funny!

Uh oh, I don't know who could have done this Mom

Some of Ivy's "Baby Tricks" :-P



Fabric Pumpkins

Yesterday was the first day of Fall, my absolute favorite season!  I followed a tutorial on Thompson Family Blog to make these fabric pumpkins. It's not cooling down in the desert yet, so I decided to do a little Fall decorating and maybe mother nature will get the hint...

Ivy's favorite part was playing in the water

We went out for sushi and then to see Les Miserables at ASU.

Ivy is getting steadier on her feet and loves pushing her cart around

As always we had so much fun with Aunt Molly! 

The next time I see my sister will be in a few weeks in Atlanta getting ready to board a flight to PERU!!!
