First Smiles

Delaney started smiling last week. These are the first smiles I was able to catch with the camera (12/16/08). She gave her first smiles to her Daddy when he was talking to her. She seems to have a sweet personality that matches that cute smile. We love her a ton!!

"I keen it, mama."

We have gotten a lot of snow recently. After a trip out in the cold, we tracked some snow in on the carpet. After telling Daddy and I about the mess, Hudson ran to get his toy vacuum to "keen it up". He is such a sweet and smart boy!! We love him soooo much!!

The Woodard Blanket

This baby blanket is special to my family. My children are the 5th and 6th babies to come home from the hospital with it. The others are my dad, me, my sister Kristin, and my sister Kara. One side of the blanket is blue and the other is pink. I feel lucky to have carried on this tradition twice and hope we will be blessed with more babies to bring home with this blanket in the future.

Christmas Pictures

We had a "photo shoot" in an attempt to get a great picture for a Christmas card. It was quite a rodeo at times. Hudson was much more interested in kissing on his sister than sitting and smiling. We ended up with some good pictures, some bad ones, and even some that one may consider a bit crazy.


This one of Hudson is just plain crazy....


Delaney was a bit overstimulated. After a while, she wouldn't even look at us.


Please wish us luck for next year. I doubt a 1 year old and almost 3 year old will be much more cooperative. Gotta love my kids!!!

Halloween Fun

Check out that view!

I thought it would be funny to let people see what I see when I look down. I love my big pregnant baby belly, but it will be nice to see my feet again after this baby decides to be born!!

By the way, check out the nail polish. I actually painted them myself. It wasn't easy and I'm definitely glad I didn't have an audience! :)

Hudson's Halloween Party 2008

Hudson went to Grandma and Grandpa Lach's annual Halloween party last Friday with his cousins. His monkey costume has to be about the cutest thing I've ever seen! He kept pretending to take a bite of the banana in the pocket.

We were interested to see how he would react to everyone dressed up. He seemed pretty okay, except he didn't know what to think of his cousin Murphy's bobble head skeleton costume. As you can see in the group picture, he wanted to keep one eye on that head!

He had fun playing games, dancing, frosting cookies and eating pizza. He was very tired when he got home, but had a great time.

Thanks for such a fun party, Gamma and Papa!!

Fall Fun 2008

We were lucky to have a nice fall day to rake leaves to fill pumpkin bags for our yard. Hudson loved every minute of running and playing in the "trees".

Hudson took a break to check out a lady bug. He thought it was pretty cool to have a "buggy" on his finger.
