Halle's First Bath

Halle experienced her first real bath on Sunday--she's not sure she likes the water, but she does like being wrapped in a warm, cozy towel!

Happy Halloween!

Matt and Afton had a good time at the ward Halloween party--they played games, had dinner, and then trunk-or-treated!

Too Sleepy!

This is how I feel whenever I sit down and hold Halle! Afton loves to cuddle her and they both quickly fell asleep--maybe Afton's been up at night with us!

Halloween Cookies

Matt and Afton had so much fun with Grandma Bunting--they made cookies and decorated them for Halloween.

One Week Old

Halle grows and changes so much in such a little time! She's already back to her birth weight, eats like a champ, and even smiles in her sleep!

Halle Jane arrived on October 12 at 8:21 am. She weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and measured 21 inches long. We're all grateful for her safe arrival and look forward to sharing more about her in the months to come!

All In The Family

You all knew the kids would be golfers--here they are practicing at the range. Not to brag (too much) but Matt can drive the ball pretty well already. Afton will be our lefty--thanks to Grandpa Walker for finding some left handed kids' clubs!

Spencer & Brittany

Congratulations to Paul's brother Spencer and his new wife Brittany who were sealed in the Bountiful Temple on October 5. We're excited for them and while I was unable to go (9 months along and they don't want you to fly?!) Paul and the kids were able to share this wonderful day with them!

Happy Birthday Paul!

Paul turned 31 on October 2--it was a low-key celebration with just us, Kelsey and Rylee. We met downtown at Pizzeria Uno and opened presents at home. The kids love spending time with their dad--he's their favorite person to play with!

Kelsey and Rylee Visit

Afton had such a fun time playing with cousin Rylee. Kelsey and I took the kids downtown to Navy Pier for the architecture tour. We had some bad weather, but were able to take a later boat and have a fun time seeing Chicago from the river.
