Shutterfly Holiday Cards!



I don't know about you, but I LOVE Christmas cards! With our move, and a new baby on the way, and all the craziness, I missed sending them last year! Not this year!

Shutterfly has a lot of great holiday cards and products! I've used Shutterfly many times in the past. I store a lot of my photos there. I also have made several photobooks. Their online program is very user friendly and I like that I can control so many things. I really like a lot of their new photo cards for the holidays. They have a new line on premium cardstock. Check them out!

My favorites are:

I like this one with the classic look. I like the square, too. You just have to be ready to pay additional postage for square cards. I found that out with my wedding invitations. Wow!

I like this one with the "Subway Art" feel. From all my reading in blogger-land, I've found that Subway Art is the thing these days. So why not have a Christmas Card that is "the thing!"

And check out these photo calendars that can be great Christmas gifts for grandparents, etc.

Happy Shutterfly Shopping!

Firsts and Fall Days

Okay, so I'm trying to get back into this blogging thing a little. I'm not promising anything. :o) I can't spend any extra time coming up with cute titles or anything, so for now we're using alliterations!


Yesterday was a first! Whitley's first food ever! She has been eying our food a lot lately. Since the recommended ages to start rice cereal is 4-6 months, we thought 5.25 months was perfect. She took right to it!



She kept smiling (like she always does . . . she is quite the smiler) everytime I put the spoon to her mouth.



Big Sister Addy wanted to be a part of the action, of course. She is a big helper!



This is just a bonus pic of our cutie in her October Fashion . . .



We are having a truly autumn feeling day today! Rain and cool winds. Addy really wanted to go outside to swing. So she donned her new jacket and her rain boots and Daddy braved the weather with her.



What a great Daddy!

Patches, Playments, & Pumpkins

PATCHES . . . .
About a month ago, Addy took one of many big steps toward becoming a "big girl". We said goodbye to the paci. We had been talking about it for a while, and finally the night came. We took our last pacifier with us to the mall and stepped into "Build-a-bear" ready to make our first purchase! Addy looked through all the animals and chose this adorable dog. As they were putting in the stuffing, we stuffed that paci right in the arm. Now if Addy wants to sleep with her pacifier, she can sleep with Patches! The transition was actually very easy. We are proud of Addy for taking a big step!




PLAYMATES . . . .
Addy and Whitley are going to be the best playmates! Already Addy says "Whit-ty is my best friend!" It is soo cute! Whitley really watches Addy all the time. She laughs more for Addy than anyone else. The first thing in the morning, Addy asks for Whitley. I can't wait to see their relationship develop as they get older!



PUMPKINS . . . .
We took a trip to Dallas a few weeks ago and had lunch with friends at NorthPark Mall. There is a nice courtyard and it had the biggest pumpkins! Addy loved looking at them and sitting on them! It was a great place for a new family pic!
