Happy Halloween!
Well, our first Trick or Treat experience went off without a hitch. At Chris' suggestion we walked through the mall rather than a neighborhood and it turned out to be just right. All of the stores had candy at the front and nice people to hand it out. Tess was able to walk (assisted of course) from store to store collecting bits of candy and new admirers along the way. She was commonly proclaimed "cutest little boy". Well, they got the most important part right because she was a terribly cute little monkey! The excitement hasn't quite died down yet and as I type Tess is happily chatting away in her crib and telling Oliphant all about the wonderful time she had.
Now I am onto the sad business of leaving tomorrow for Florida. Sure to be the longest nine days ever. I don't have much else to say about that, I am at a total loss.
Here is the link to the new pictures and I will update all as soon as I return to the loving arms of my family, I hope this Halloween finds you all happy, healthy and wise!
Love,
Sarah

First of Many???

Well, here we are. Another wacky website put together in the hopes that I will be better about keeping up with my friends and family!
Chris and I are having fun being Mama and Daddy. We are preparing for Chris' upcoming deployment and as always taking things one day at a time. We are both working hard and I will be leaving for a very sad, very long 9 day work trip to Florida on November 1st. Chris is ready for some serious bonding time with his little girl and Tess is as ready as she can be so as long as I can keep it together we should do just fine!
Tess is having fun testing things, such as how far food can be thrown(and which are the dog's favorites), how many times she can wake up in one night, and what happens when she bites/scratches/hits things! Tess has recently started taking a few shaky steps towards toddlerhood, though super speedy crawling continues to be her preffered mode of transportation. She has also grown three new top teeth to match her two bottom chompers and she is putting all five pearly whites to "good" use. She learns and grows so much every day and we are lucky to be with her.
Well, not much of an update but not bad for a first try. Below is a link to the newest pictures in the photobucket account, feel free to look around at the other folders too for some oldies but goodies! I hope to be updating weekly with pictures and any news we make. Much love to all of you from the three of us!
