These are a couple more shots from Evy's 3 month pictures with Kelly Manno. Evy couldn't decide whether to be a pumpkin or a strawberry so we did both:) Every kid should have 2 costumes for their 1st Halloween, right:)

Evy's 3 Month Pictures
Here we are again....another photoshoot with Evy:) She sure loves the camera. We had Kelly Manno take more pictures of Evy for her 3 month birthday. It was a gorgeous day so we all went to Faust Park where Kelly managed to again find the most amazing places to shoot. It is truly crazy how much she has changed in just 1 month. We'll have her next months pics up as soon as I get them back. Maybe we should slow down on the pictures....NO way! Monthly pics are so important the first year of their life. You can never get these moments back. Plus, I just love this stinkers BIG blue eyes!!!

Evy's 1st Halloween
Although I'm a little behind, here are a few pictures of Evy on her 1st Halloween! I'm searching high and low to find the other family ones so hopefully I'll get those up here soon. Evy loved being a little pumpkin. She did so well! It's crazy that her outfit weighed almost as much as she did:)
A "PLUS" SIGN 365 DAYS AGO!
A year ago today Durbin & I surprisingly found out we were pregnant!!! That "+" sign surely put a smile on our faces. We were thrilled to say the least, but shocked that it happened so quickly. One try and there we were....parents to be:) I can't believe that throughout the past 365 days I have had so many wonderful things happen. It truly amazes me that the time flies by so quickly. Here were are.....a new FAMILY! My pregnancy was absolutely wonderful...easy as pie! Now we are here enjoying every second with our little Princess! She's getting so big. It's crazy just how wonderful the love is that a parent has for their child. It is without a doubt the most wonderful love in the world. Durbin & I are truly blessed to have such wonderul lives and now we can share that with our new daughter! We love you Evy!
Today is also my Dad's birthday! So overall, November 7th is an amazingly special day! We knew he wanted little granddaugher so we're so happy we could give him his birthday gift....a little early:) Happy birthday Dad!
