happy october!

again, we have gone too long between posts but some certain little girl (i am not naming names, but she is pictured above) lost our camera for a bit, and who wants a post without a picture, really?? but OH, have we been busy!! and i love it!!

last sunday at church we dedicated our wondertwins to the Lord in front of our church body. as we stood on that stage with our boys and the rest of our family, my tears were a-flowin'. this church was just such an important part of our journey with infertility. we sat in that sanctuary so many times begging God for a baby (or 2! ha!) and i remember crying through every sermon i heard while i was pregnant with the boys :). i remember praying with other ladies who had gone through infertility there and praying with our pastor in the parking lot at church. the fact that i was holding my alive and well angel liam and shane was holding our perfect cullen was almost too much to handle. these boys are the miracle of my life.
could they look any cuter in these overalls?? i don't know if you can see it but liam's is monogrammed with an "L" on the pocket and cullen's with a "C." and i love their sweet teeny white dress shirts!! i was looking all over for the shirts that morning and asked shane if he had seen the boys blouses. he was mortified and made me promise to never again refer to his son's shirts as blouses!! ha!
with our loves after they were dedicated.
our wonderful pastor and dear friend james with the boys. liam is sacked out. sophie was the very first baby james dedicated when he got to our church, so him dedicating the boys too was very special to us!
okay, on to the pumpkin farm!! we went to this fun farm with the higgins's last saturday that was full of fun stuff to do! i love this picture of shane and the babies from the back!
mama and her loves.
we couldn't get a good picture of them in the pumpkins to save our lives. in this one i feel like cullen is looking at me like "mom, seriously?"
soph playing this little game with the help of ronny :)
i love this picture of sophie and hudson. these kids have a lifetime of fun memories together. every time we get together with him i get nostalgic that they are this big now! they are supposed to be babies, and they are SO not babies. how did this happen?? no more blinking!
i love this picture! look at the beautiful sky!
this fun barrel ride! sophie looks so excited, i love it!
my lambs just playing on a blanket. i love to just lay them on the floor and talk to them and watch them interact with me. they are starting to "talk" and giggle and interact so much. i forgot how much i love this stage/age!
and now, drumroll please...what does this sleeping baby...(who, yes, is sleeping on a pink sheet :))
have in common with THIS sleeping baby?? (you know, besides the whole sharing-a-womb-for-nine-months thing??)
why, they are both sleeping through the night, of course!! and they have been for over a week!! holy moly do i feel like a new woman!! like some nights 9-6, or 10-7, 10-8...but no more 3 am or 4 am wake-ups, thank you very much!! it is funny, although he is smaller cullen consistently sleeps about an hour later than liam. i kind of like it though because i get that time to nurse and spend with liam one-on-one, then i put him in the bouncer and get some one-on-one time with cullen too. thank you Jesus for my good sleepers!! (and let me not be jinxing myself by bragging...:))
i know things will continue to be busy with Baylor homecoming and halloween...and the boys turn 3 months on saturday, too!! pics and posts to come. hope everyone is loving their fall!!
