Pop Pop Taylor and Nana Anne Visit

The kids had a great time with Pop Pop and Nana Anne. They were here for 5 days in September. Will and Jeanne loved having them here and have not stopped talking about it since they left.
Getting a picture of everyone was easier said then done!

Jillian-4 Months

Jilly Bean!

She is very smiley all of the time and has really mellowed. She seems to be the ideal 3rd child. We love having her around. Will and Jeanne are really enjoying her especially as she interacts more!

Jillian is still not a huge fan of the bath...but she is getting to be more comfortable!

Jillian is 4 months old. She has discovered her hands and feet. She is very amused by them. As soon as I lay her down, her feet instantly go up and into her hands. It is pretty funny. She smiles and makes a laughing sound when you talk to her. She is a happy girl.
She loves her Bumbo! The "baby cupholder" the best invention ever. I am sure that mom made a million dollars!

Hello there!

I found my hands and I love them!

Jillian's Baptism

Jillian was Baptised on August 29th. It was a very nice ceremony. Uncle Musca and Aunt Amy were the Godparents. Jillian wore Auntie Jessica's gown and mommy's bonnet and blankie.

We managed to get a picture of the 3 kids.

Jeanne is looking a little bit skeptical of all that is going on, she has the shifty eyes.

Swankie Photo Shoot

Jeanne and Jillian are big fans of Swankie Blankie...and we are very lucky to know the queen of Swankie herself. Actually all of my kids, Will included are Swankie kids. They each have several blankies that they love! Since we have made so many trips to Swankie lately...we decided to do a mini photo shoot with some of the newest Swankie styles for an upcoming show that Susie is showing at. Jillian was a very willing model...she showed off the new giraffe hooded towel and the leopard diaper cover with the hot pink plush stripe blankie. Jeanne was a little harder to get to cooperate..but she was on board with this pic...I think because the blankie was like a cape and she does have a thing for superheroes. I guess we could call her Captain Swankie:)

Jeanne's First Day of School

Jeanne was so excited for her first day of school! She has been dying to go to Apple Creek, where Will went last year. Everyday when we would take Will to school last year she would try and sneak into the classroom and play. She was always so sad that she could not stay. So her turn to go to school was finally here. She got up early on Monday and was ready to go and insisted on walking to school first with Will. She had her back pack on and everything. It was very cute.
She wanted to make sure her princesses on her backpack showed in the pictures. She is hilarious!

Yeah! Playdough..one of her favorite things to do.

Jeanne gets her first day of school pic with daddy too!

She had a great first day! Her teachers are very sweet. There were quite a few tears in the 2 year old class, but not from Jeanne. When Brian and I said goodbye to her, she got freaked out for a minute and then said bye bye and went back to her puzzle she was putting together. Such a big girl.
