Lunch, AKA "Hunch"

Katrien's word for lunch, lacks the "L" sound, therefore leaving it sounding more like "hunch". Here is a video from "hunch" today. She is working on the art of eating spaghetti.

Congrats Aunt Wendy!

We recently went to Aunt Wendy's (my dad's sister) induction ceremony! She was inducted as the president of the New York State Association of Educational Office Professionals... pretty impressive! She has worked very hard and has been climbing the "ladder" for some time now! What an accomplishment! It was a great night of celebration! I was SO honored to be asked to sing a few songs at the ceremony! Here are some pics!

The girls were all dressed up!

Anoush particularly liked her shoes that evening!

Aunt Wendy looked stunning that evening!

Congratulations Aunt Wendy! We are so proud of you,
your accomplishments and that we can call you family!

SNOW!!!!

Well, it comes early in this part of the country... our first snowfall happened yesterday! It is crazy to think that it comes so soon. None of it stuck on the ground, of course, but it was just a little reminder of what is to come.

Yep, that is the view out my front door as of 7:30am...and it is still coming!

Great Grandpa Visit

This past week, my sister, Tera, and I took all the girls up for a night at Grandpa Sellers house (my mom's dad). They live about 2 hours away, so it was only a little drive. We spent one night up there and had lots of fun watching the girls play. Here are some pics from the trip.

Anoush looks drunk in this one...haha. Love it!

Grandpa even rocked Kiera to sleep!

Sibling Silliness!

Katrien was playing Peek-A-Boo with Kiera and having a good ole' time! I wasn't there for it, but Tera and Mom caught it on video! I'm so glad I can share it with you all this way! :) These are the fun moments!

Congrats Connie and Bill!

This weekend was my Aunt Connie's (and Bill's) wedding!

It was a beautiful day and a wonderful wedding all around.

Congratulations!!

I had the honor of singing their song! (Now and Forever by Air Supply) It was a lot of fun!

Here are some great captured moments:
Katrien was boot-scoot-and-boogying with her cousin Austin!


This is as close to a good picture as we could get.
It's good, all except Kiera's spit up coming down her chin!
Haha... well, at least it is realistic!

Tera and Anoush!
Grandma and Papa in baby heaven!

Fall Fun!

The leaves are falling as Western New York turns many different colors.
Katrien and I were having fun playing in the leaves! Check it out:


Here are some more pictures from the day:

Aren't they pretty?

Baby Bliss

My sister, who had been in England this past year, has finally come home to visit for a few months! We are SO glad to have her here and her little joy, Anoush, who is 6 months old already! Here are the two cousins together at last! (They are only 6 weeks apart!)

Katrien wanted to hold Anoush, but Anoush wasn't too happy about the idea.

Anoush got her back though! :)

Anoush is all ready for the football game! "Go Thomas!!"

I'll give you one guess what number Thomas is! He has a pretty big cheering section!

Katrien is the little mother around here.

Katrien loves to take care of Anoush. Here, they are at the Clymer High School football game.
