Leighton's Photoshoot

About a week ago, a local agent approached Kurt about putting Leighton in a regional commercial. Of course, with Kurt's background in the industry, we jumped at the chance! However, in order for Leighton to be considered, we had to submit a variety of photos. So, this past weekend, we dressed up our little model for her first photoshoot. I think the pictures turned out to be precious but, I'm a little bias:) Enjoy!!

Zoo Spooktacular!

This past weekend the Heinlein family celebrated Halloween at the local Zoo Spooktacular. Every year, Springfield turns their Dickerson Park Zoo into a family friendly Halloween festival complete with Trick-or-Treat stations, life-size animated cutouts, games, and rides. It's always a wonderful, safe experience that Sutton just absolutely loves!!! Here are a few pictures from the evening...Enjoy!!

Miss Leighton

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. The girls and I headed back to South Carolina for a nice two week long break. I have tons of pictures that I still need to upload from the trip, but in the meantime, here are a few new pictures of little Miss Leighton...I can't believe she is already 2 months old!!!! Enjoy!

Fall Festivities

This past weekend Kurt and I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and take Leighton and Sutton to a few local Fall festivals.

The first festival was held at a local farm (Rutledge-Wilson Farm) that has been converted into an educational facility with animals and crops. Sutton had a blast feeding chickens, picking a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, going on a hay ride, milking a fake cow, and visiting with the livestock!

The next festival was in the nearby town of Fair Grove. Kurt and I love this festival!! We have attended every year since we've lived in Missouri. They have all types of crafts, music, food, and horse rides. Once again, Sutton had a wonderful day and even scored a ladybug face paint.







All in all it was a wonderful weekend!! Enjoy the pics:)

Lordy, Lordy, Kurt's 40!!

Today is Kurt's 40th Birthday!!! So, this past weekend, while my Mom and sisters were in town, I threw Kurt a surprise 40th birthday party. It was a lot of fun but, extremely difficult to pull off such a stunt with a toddler and an infant. Thanks to my wonderful family and friends it was a successful and wonderful party. Enjoy the pics!!

Leighton Catherine Heinlein

On August 20th at 8:41pm, Kurt, Sutton, and I welcomed Leighton Catherine Heinlein into our family. After 7 hours of labor, with no complications, Miss Leighton came into our world at 7 lbs. 15 ounces and 20 inches long. We are all so blessed and happy to have such a healthy beautiful baby girl! Here are a few pictures that we've been able to take. I will post more once a more stable routine has been established. Enjoy!!

Leighton's Room

Finally, here are some pictures of Leighton's new room. As you can see it is still a work in progress (even though she might be joining us any minute now!) I ordered some gorgeous window treatments through the mail that have yet to arrive and we still need to hang a few pictures. So, as soon as everything is complete I will post more pictures (Leighton will probably be in them).

It's funny, with Sutton I believe I had her room up and ready months before my due date. With the second one you have so much other things going on (like chasing after a 3 year old) that things get done last minute. Oh well! The most important thing is that Miss Leighton is healthy and happy!! Enjoy the pics!

Love to all,
