It's a Girl

Our new baby girl arrived on November 3, 2008. Her name is Nora Lynn VanEerden. Everything went very well. She was born at 11:10pm and weighed 8lbs and 40zs and was 191/2 in. long. We came home on Weds. afternoon and are doing very well.

Halloween

All dressed up and ready to start trick or treating. Makalynn was a butterful princess and Cole was a lion. He didn't really like his lion hat up on his head. He was much happier with it off!!

Her are the troops ready to go. We all went over to Michelle and Jason's house so the cousins could all go trick or treating together. It has become our tradition and they have so much fun together. After trick or treating we ordered pizza and just hung out and had fun. Even Uncle Ty and Aunt Laura joined us.

Addison and Cole were so cute. They really got in the spirit. They went to every house the big kids went to and said trick or treat and than thank you. They had so much fun. It is amazing how quickly they grow!!

Carving Pumpkins

The finished products. Makalynn had Minnie Mouse and Cole had Mickey Mouse. They were both very proud of their pumpkins!!

Makalynn wanted to see how it would fit!

Makalynn couldn't believe daddy might really put that pumpkin on her head.

Our two happy pumpkin carvers!!!!

Opening presents

We ended the night opening presents at home and having a piece of cake!!!

Ear's Pierced

Makalynn's big present for her birthday was getting her ear's pierced. She was so excited. We went to libby lu in Younkers at Rivertown Crossing's mall.
There were two girls that helped pierce her ears. There names were Sara and Sam. Makalynn was very curious about everything they did.
They cleaned and marked her ears. She held very still through it all
Her facial expressions said she wasn't so sure during the actual piercing itself, but she didn't cry at all.
She was a star 3 year old that day. She was so excited about her new earings. She got a certificate and they put sparkles in her hair when she was finished. When we left the store she told us it didn't hurt at all. Our little girl is growing up!!
