Our Trip to Monroe

Here are a few pictures of our trip to Monroe. We celebrated the arrival of Emmey, my Mom's birthday, and Thanksgiving. We had a great time and the girls all played really well together. Sophie really misses Babbey & Mae Mae alot.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving.

We have so many things to be thankful for, but we seem to take most things for granted. I am most thankful for my family. I have a wonderful husband and the sweetest daughter anyone could ask for. Every day with Sophie is a blessing and I am so very lucky to be able to stay at home and enjoy every moment of her.

Our New Addition

Rachel and Brad welcomed another sweet baby girl to our family. Emmey Claire Tullos was born on November 17, 2008. She has 2 big sisters, Abbey and Macey. We are so glad she is finally here!

Fire Station Playdate

We visited the Daphne Fire Station on Thursday for a playdate. The kids loved being able to climb all over the firetrucks. Sophie was scared of the firetruck at first, but she decided that it wasn't that scary after seeing the other kids climb on it. She loved getting to pretend she was the driver. I think she could have spent the rest of the day playing inside the truck. Fireman Tom gave all the kids a fireman hat, but I couldn't get Sophie to put hers on. Unfortunately, the firemen had to go out on a call while we were there and the kids didn't get to see one of them dressed up in their fireman suit. The kids all had the greatest time and it was fun to see everyone enjoy themselves so much.

Sometimes a Band-Aid Fixes Everything

....and you don't always have to have a boo-boo to need one!

Halloween

Sophie was a little lamb this year for halloween. I was afraid that she wouldn't want to dress up, but I didn't have any problems getting her to wear the costume. Our friends Kirsty, Hamish and Will came over to trick or treat with us. Will was a very cute little scarecrow. Sophie and Will had the greatest time. We bought a wagon for them to ride around in and I think that they mostly just liked climbing in and out of the wagon. Sophie loved running up to everyone's door and getting candy. She was very polite and would always say thank you (we've been working on manners -saying please and thank you) when she got a piece of candy. After we let the kids trick or treat we came home to some of the best chili Jason has ever made! It was the perfect thing to warm you up on a cool night.

The Pumpkin Patch

We took Sophie to Wales West Railway to the pumpkin patch to ride the train. At first she was a little scared of the train, but luckily we sat there a while waiting for everyone to get on and by the time we left she was over being scared. We rode the train to the pumpkin patch and when we got there we had to go through a little haunted house to get to the pumpkins. Sophie had a good time picking up the little pumpkins and carrying them around. Once we picked out our pumpkins we got to go inside and decorate them. That was Sophie's favorite part. On the way back she wasn't scared of the train and really enjoyed the ride. The conductor let all the kids blow the whistle once we returned to the station, but Sophie was scared of the whistle so we skipped that part and went to get our juice and cookies.
