Baby Lila Day Two

Day two for baby Lila and the Palmer family. I think they are soooo excited to have three precious girls. Lila is a precious angel. These pictures were taken when she was 24 hours old~just one day...amazing!

Baby Lila is Here!!

Baby Lila was born today, Saturday, November 21 and is she amazing! She is beautiful and perfect, she and Alisha was both doing well when we left them, with Lila being about 3 hours old. Alisha is looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight, Matthew will not fare so well on the recliner he has in the room there. We took the girls up and spent a while visiting, holding, cooing and loving. They love her and want to hold her and kiss her and that's just the way it ought to be!

What a beautiful family! We'll get more pics tomorrow when we go after church. What a happy day for us all!!

Come on Baby!

We are patiently waiting for baby Lila to come. Miya loves to kiss and hug her baby sister, we hope that will continue after she is born! At least there is an end in sight. The induction will be next Tuesday morning. Yea!
In the mean time, we are getting a bit of fall, even though it's 72 outside today, and the girls have enjoyed sliding into the pile of leaves.

So baby Lila, come on and join in on the fun!

Birthdays, Halloween and Beach

As usual, I ended up putting these pictures in reverse order of when they happened, but hey, do you want perfection this early in my blogging career?!
Birthday treasure hunts are a tradition in our family and they are especially fun with Sienna and Miya's help. Alisha gets lots of help from the girls in reading and finding her clues and opening her gifts.

Larry and I took a much needed three day total R&R trip to the beach the first week of November. It was fabulous! The weather was warm, the sun-warmer, the salty breeze-cool and the hot tub-hot! It was a great three days and we are ready to go again.

Trunk or Treat was a big two ward deal with dinner, parade and lots of trunk or treating. The Palmers were a family of classy witches, who had turned Matthew into a newt! So cute, lots of fun but I'm glad I don't have to plan another one of these for two more years!!

Grandma's birthday brought a new feature...a treasure hunt written by Sienna, it was awesome! And I even found my gifts. Two of my three favorite treasures are right here with me:

Fun times, fun family, and now a true time of gratitue is on it's way as the whole family gathers together for the Thanksgiving Holiday... I can't wait!!!

Go Figure!

I looked out my window and what did I see??
Flowers blooming underneath my fall tree!!
Yup! Right underneath the tree with gorgeous red, yellow and orange leaves is my gerber daisy that just bloomed, along with the azaleas, impatiens and lantana who have all bloomed in our recent warm temps. So is it Spring, or Fall??? It's anyone's guess here in SC, go figure!
