The Lamby Coat

Hazel received a coat from her Great Aunt Barb that looks like sheep's wool. The coat even has ears and a tail. So cute!! I think Hazel knew how cute she looked; she kept smirking.

Burping Hazel, love the faces.

My cousin Dale does a bit of traveling. While in Peru this summer he bought Hazel a couple of sweaters. He commented that she looks like a regular Peruanita! Not sure that her fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes are quite the match!

Shots of Hazel

Photo Shoot

Aunt Katherine is a professional photographer and was out east doing a different shoot and was able to stop by to see Hazel and take some pictures of her. Katherine does great work and we are very blessed to have her as a Sister-In-Law / Aunt. :) The pictures above are some of the pictures that she took during the shoot. You can purchase prints of these and many others at http://www.pictage.com/ event name: Hazel. And you can visit her blog at http://www.mcclurehomepage.blogspot.com/ to see the beautiful pictures she has taken of her own children. Thanks Katherine

The Old Mill

Hazel had her first trip to the old mill this fall, though she did not get to experience the buffet yet.

Baptism

Hazel was baptized on September 21st 2008 at our church - New England Chapel, http://www.newenglandchapel.org/

Mommy (Sarah) sang "A Mother's Prayer" as a song dedication

Everyone came out for the occasion.

We're SO Behind!

We are so behind! The pictures below are from August or the beginning of September. She has changed so much since these were taken. I will post more soon. I promise!

Just one of the Coastal Girls

On September 10 my boss, Carla, took all of her employees (all women) to Boston for a day of fun starting with a lunch cruise on the harbor. Hazel and I bravely made the journey which started with a train ride into the city.

Update

Hi all! We apologize for not updating the blog. We have been extremely busy. We finally moved into our house last weekend and I started back to work last Monday, so we have been busy adjusting to being working, home-owning, sleep deprived parents.

We promise to post more soon. Hazel is changing so fast. She is now smiling and interacting so much more. She will even sit for brief periods and entertain herself. It's amazing how much has happened in seven weeks. It has gone by fast and hasn't been that long, yet it is hard to imagine life without Hazel in it.
