Mara was a pink butterfly for Halloween this year. She wanted her costume on @ noon already & had a lot of fun showing off her wings! :) As you can see, it was fairly nice weather out, so we could walk to the neighbors & spend time with friends.

Hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family & friends! We are so Blessed to have you in our lives. Happy Holidays!

Reading books with Grandpa Prins :)

18 months

Wow! It's been a long time since we've updated the blog! We've gotten a new computer & hopefully can keep you updated from now on.

What Mara's been up to...

- Loves to read books, especially the ones where you have to find something on the page

- Understands everything we say, however babbles all the time & doesn't want say to many words :)

- Loves to play with her kitchen & talks constantly on her play phone

- Hasn't quite adjusted to daylight savings time yet...hopefully soon!

- Never sits still-always moving & up to something

- Best Friend=Kya. Our dog puts up with a lot of lovin' from her little sister!

- Girly Girl, loves to try on mommy's shoes & play with her babies

- Finally in 18 mos clothing, took us a while to get past 12 mos :)

- Always happy & has a smile on her face (just like mommy! ha!)

At Mara's 18 mos check-up in September she was in the 10% for weight, and 75% for height! Looks like she's got her mom's metabolism & dad's height! :)

Baby Chicks

On Saturday we went to Grandpa & Grandma Prins' farm to see their new baby chicks! Justin's boss Brian, his wife Brandi, & their kids Evan & Adri came along too. About 100 chicks came in the mail Thursday making the Prins farm quite the local attraction! Their period of "cuteness" does not last long before d-day in roughly 8 weeks!
Mara didn't know quite what to think of these soft, yellow balls of fluff. (neither did Kya!) She was more interested by their noisy "chirping" & soft bedding in the coop. It was giggles & smiles, however, until one of the chicks got a little too close & picked at her nose! They weren't so soft & cuddly after that:)

As you can see, Mara had a little accident last week on the deck. We won't say who she was with...but I think they felt worse than Mara looks!:) Now that she's walking, she's running into everything and has many bumps & bruises to show. I'm sure this is just the beginning of many more to come!
