Georgianna is 4 months old!

Georgianna had her four month check-up at the pediatrician's this week, and good news...we don't have to take her back! She now weighs 13 lbs. 11oz., has grown two inches in two months bringing her to 24 3/4 in long. She now can see fully in color and can focus well, too. She'll follow along while you move, will watch you go up & down and side to side. She loves watching all the dogs play in the backyard. If you put an object in front of her she'll grab at it and play with it. She keeps her head and back straight while sitting on your lap. She'll tell you story after story now...talks lots (and loud) like daddy!! So fun how far she has come in just one month! She still is a sweet baby, with a hint of 'tude... but we wouldn't expect anything less! 

Quick trip to Eugene

Friday we drove to Eugene so Ryan could work with a few of his agents, then that evening we celebrated two particular agents that had won the AFLIC award for writing life policies. We had a fun dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant. Of coarse Georgie joined us, and was an angel!

Beautiful Fall Weather

Ryan had gone to Madison, Wisconsin to attend an annual Managers Seminar and came home with a present for Georgianna... cheese mousie! The baby loved it... so did Rocco! That following weekend we took a drive through the Applegate Valley to enjoy the lovely autumn weather. The trees had turned such vibrant colors of red, gold and orange. The trees in our backyard were fabulous to look at as well!

Rocco turns 4 years old!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Rocky... Happy Birthday to you!!!!!

Hunt for the Great Pumpkin

We drove out to Applegate Valley Ranch, which is where we got married, to hunt for Georgianna's first pumpkin. There was a hay ride that directed us to a large corn maze that finished at the pumpkin patch. Georgie searched for the perfect pumpkin and with dad's help she found it! 

Georgie's First Beaver Game!

We invited our friends Troy, Elizabeth & Jake Petersen to join us to attend the Oregon State Beavers vs. the Arizona Wildcats football game (Elizabeth is a Wildcat). We met some other friends there and tailgated with lots of good game food- brats with grilled onions & peppers, potato salad and E's awesome chocolate cake. Georgianna and I sat inside the club level watching the game and did terrific through all the cheering & noise. Sadly, the Beavers lost (Elizabeth was ecstatic, but knew not to gloat too much! :) but was a great time had by all. Go Beavs!! 

Visiting Grand & GreatGrandparents in September

We took a trip north to Portland for Ryan's work, so we did the grandparent tour along with business. First stop: Salem- dinner at Grammy's house, with Great Grandparents Rea, Aunt Connie and Mac. Delicious dinner and lots of playtime with baby. 

Second stop: Lunch with Great Grandma Alice and Great Aunt Deme in Clackamas.

Third stop: Great Grandma Lee's first meeting of Georgianna. Grandma loved the smiley and chatty Georgie and had fun checking each other out!
