brixton's race

It's still hard for me to believe that B is in high school, but it was a lot of fun to watch him race.

Her first cross country meet.

Brixton was in the lead the entire race until the very end when another boy passed him.
Second place...we were very proud.

Ringing the cow bell. What a good Mecher!

emmett's birthday party

Today we celebrated Emmett's first birthday. He turns one on September 20th. It was also Caleb's 5th birthday...but sadly I didn't get any good pictures of him.

Happy 1st Birthday Little Buddy.

Cousins.

I'm still not sure if Olivia likes Adeline or not.

Practicing her walking while carrying Mor Mor's purse.

Helping Emmett open some gifts.

Adeline loves this little lion that the McCarthy's gave her.

new trick

Adeline has figured out how to open drawers and cabinets. She loves to empty things out of our kitchen drawers...especially that third drawer which she can reach to open, but can't see into. She just sticks her hand in and pulls things out. Too bad that's our "junk drawer."

future physician assistant

Adeline found my stethoscope in my work bag today. She took it out and put it right around her neck, just like the professionals.

learning to walk

Adeline has been taking a few steps on her own, but she can really move when she walks with this stroller in the church nursery.

ten months old

Our baby is ten months old. It's hard to believe. She's getting so big...and getting into everything. This is how we found her this morning. What a curious little girl. We love her so much.
