9 month pics

Our new favorite pic! ;-)

At the pumpkin patch....if you can call it that. It was a field with a bunch of dried out picked pumpkins surrounded by palm trees. LOL! They had a petting zoo, hay rides, carnival rides, corn maze, etc. It was fun, but the pumpkins were pitiful! LOL!

It was unusually cold and windy (60's or so) when we stopped at a local road side stand with lots of pumpkins...just to take photos. She was shivering and soooo cold. We laughed and told her she didn't know what cold was just yet!

Hey All- Sorry we have been SOOOOO bad about posting photos. She is growing up so fast and time just seems to slip away! We are enjoying Arizona and starting to feel comfortable here. Javin is enjoying the challenges his new job brings and I am thankful for the time I have to spend with Leila while I continue to look for that perfect RN job. We will be here in AZ for Thanksgiving and home to Vancouver, WA for Christmas! We can't wait to see those of you living in the Northwest! Thanks for all your love, support, and prayer over the past few months as we have transitioned and made this big move!

Also, we are having Leila's 1st Birthday party here in AZ on January 30th if any of you think you could make it! You're all welcome!

These photos are from the past month. Some were taken in Washington and some in Arizona. And in case you can't tell what her costume is......she was a fish for Halloween and didn't seem to mind her costume a bit!

-stand up and walks along furniture

-dances to music everywhere, including the mall and grocery store! So funny!
