Little Squeak!

We have spent the last three weeks getting to know our little Izzy! We've seen lots of funny faces and listened to her funny noises (she is a very loud sleeper) and have determined that her current nick names are: Little Squeak and Izzy Cat (sometimes Dad calls her Squeaker, but Kade is quick to correct him).

My mom was here the first week and that was a life saver. It takes a while to figure out how to manage the needs of two kids at the same time. Since she has left, we've spent a lot of time at home playing games, watching movies, eating the delicious food our friends brought us, watching more movies, and, of course, conquering mountains of laundry. We have managed to go to the pumpkin festival in Circleville, shopping one afternoon, on a walk with a neighbor, to a Halloween party, and to church.

Here are some pictures of our Little Squeak and Big Brother:

Jarin took Kade to the Buckeye game on Saturday. He loved it! One of the few things I like about football. (we made our buckeye necklaces from a friends buckeye seeds)

First Sunday to church and this was our best picture of Izzy
