Fall Firsts

We've had a lot of firsts happen lately. The main one being that Porter got his first haircut! Isn't he so cute? It makes him look a lot older, just in time to start acting like the big brother that he's going to be! (That's right, another little baby will be joining our family in April 2012!)

Here he is before the haircut

During the haircut, he did such a good job for the stylist and didn't cry at all

And after, isn't he so handsome?

He also finally started walking recently, it's about time since he's almost 2 years old!

Leah finally learned to go potty and has been wearing underwear for a few months now.

Abbie learned to tie her shoes...

And started 1st grade!

Here she is on her first day of school, she was so excited to go all day and be able to eat lunch at school!

Walking down the sidewalk with her cousins

I had another birthday and went rollerskating with my sisters. It's probably been over 10 years since the last time I went and it was still fun and no one got hurt!

Jared got me a serger for my birthday! I was totally surprised and had no idea he had been calling around asking what was a good brand and finding the best deal. Now I need to find some time to learn how to use this baby!

Well, that pretty much sums up the last two months, hope yours has been just as great!
