Lily in November

Here are just a few cute pictures of our baby as she is growing so quickly!  She is such a happy baby girl and a super easy baby as well.  Her big sisters love her so much.

Our first thumb sucker.  She never took a nuk and took a very long time to take a bottle.  Fortunately she takes a bottle well now. 

This is Lily's baby dedication at Autumn Ridge Church.  It was very special and meaningful. 

Bar Harbor Maine Trip

Andy, Cassie, and Lily went to Bar Harbor, Maine for a week for an anesthesia conference while Hannah and Chloe stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Kumpel at our house.  We went with our good friends, Josh and Jessica Halverson.  We had a fabulous time.  We arrived in Bar Harbor and were upgraded to the West Street Hotel.  The place had just opened a couple months ago.  We had a two room suite.  It was very nice!

This is Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park.  One more park closer to our lifetime goal :) 
We ate lunch at the Jordan House Pond restaurant then we went on the 3.2 mile loop around the pond. 

Lily was such a great traveler.  We almost forgot that she was there at times.  She just went right along with all of our adventures. 

This is Thunder Hole

Andy is always trying to get wet :) 

The sunset on Cadillac Mountain

We went on a Lobster Tour with Captain John on Lula.  It was a very educational and fun adventure.  We decided to do a farm to table experience.  After going on the lobster boat, we went to a lobster bake for dinner. 

There were a bunch of seals along the rocks, but it is hard to see. 

Here is an example of a lobster trap. 

We learned how to tell if the lobster was a male or female, along with a ton of other information.

October 2012

Kathy, our new nanny, made birthday cookies to celebrate my birthday.  Then Hannah and Andy made frosting to decorate them.  I had a fun birthday.  We had a family day.  We went to the Rochester Children's museum and out for lunch. Then we had a game night with some friends. 

Chloe just looking cute as usual :)

Lily enjoying the wagon and we were playing around with our new camera.  She is a good subject.

Hannah helping Daddy rake the yard

The girls had so much fun playing in the leaves.

I'm not sure how much Lily liked "playing" with the girls, but she is always a good sport about things.

The girls dressed up for Halloween.  They only went to 3 houses Trick or Treating before Hannah went to church. Chloe helped Mom hand out candy. 

Lily was not impressed by the skunk costume

 

We went to see Tiffany, Chris, and David.  They had super cute costumes.
