 A Beautiful Fall Day

Cornmaze Craziness!!

Over UEA, I decided that I was done being under newborn quarantine.  Lily was five weeks old and I was dying to go do something fun with the family.   So we went to a cornmaze!  None of us had ever been in one before.  We loved it!  The girls wore themselves out walking through endless acres of maze.  Then they took on some haystack slides.  Emmy definitely had the most fun with those.  There were crazy tire swings and a mini petting zoo.  Sami decided to do a rock wall.  She said it was the hardest one she's ever done and she reached the top right as the sun set.  I couldn't get my camera out in time to get an awesome picture of her repelling in front of the sunset, though... oh well.  Maybe I'll paint it someday.  ;) 

 

I love family outings!

 

The Gene Pool

All Five Baby Girls:

 

Sami

Ally

 Emmy

 Kassi

 Lily

So Lily has the same head shape and skinny length as Ally (body build from her dad).  But the same dark complexion and eye shape as Emmy and Kassi (also from their dad).  She also has Ally's nose (which is actually from me!)...  So in a nutshell, Lily looks like a darker version of Ally with Jeremy's eyes.  Which makes her entirely Jeremy's child, with the exception of my nose.  :)

 

Just for fun...

Here's me.

 and Jeremy

Jeremy's genes have obviously taken over the gene pool as far as looks go... 

Ironically, the one child who looks the most like me (Sami) has all his personality traits!
