Cooking up a storm...

What do you do when they are calling for a hurricane? Head to Grammy's house to make homemade applesauce! The girls in their apple attire getting ready to start the process...

First, pick apples off of Grammy and Pop's apple tree.

Second, wash apples.

Third, peel and cut apples.

Fourth, cook apples and listen as they start to bubble.

Then, you wait...
Henry was very patient hanging out in the cradle.

At one point we looked outside to find a deer munching on some apples too!

When the apples are cooked it's time to put them through the food mill.

Taste testing is very important...

Adding some sugar and spice...

Finally, Enjoy!

Thanks, Grammy for all the fun! What a great way to spend a rainy day. Sophia loved every second and is ready to make more!

Good hair day!

Crystal starts to work her magic.

The haircut was a family affair.

Adding the fairy dust!

Giving her new hair do the wind test on the carousel at the mall.

We have waited a long time for Sophia's first haircut but Monday was the day! Mom and I took Sophia to Snipits (thanks Lorae for recommending it!) and our girl LOVED getting pampered! Her haircut was just a simple trim but somehow she looks more grown up. Can't believe she will be starting preschool and dance classes in the next couple of weeks.

1 month with our sweet boy

Henry is one month old! Where has this past month gone? How quickly he has grown from this...

to...

this!

Henry has the best big sister! Sophia could not love her baby brother any more - she always has lots of hugs and kisses for him.

My sweet little one.

This past month really has been wonderful and...quick. I really can't believe Henry is a month old already-time really needs to slow down. Henry is a wonderful addition to our little family. Sophia loves her little brother and Raph and I have been so proud of how our big girl has made the adjustment to having a little baby in the house. Henry sleeps well for a newborn and eats, A LOT! He loves to cuddle and to be held. We have all enjoyed the visitors we have had come by to meet and hold our little Henry. This first month as a family of four has been made that much easier by everyone who has brought meals and goodies. We truly have felt the love this month!
