Continuation of Fall and then some..







Fellow bloggers and blog followers.. I might not be a consistent blogger or update as frequently as we both would like... BUT when I do I sure love re-living these sweet memories and thoughts!

Fall/ Winter has been a busy and wild season over at Faye Farms! As any holiday with kiddos can be, it has been filled with new adventures, memories and added wonder from the perspective of a little one! From pumpkin patches to Christmas Tree lighting's and Nutcracker shows! I have thoroughly enjoyed this season of life, not only the holidays and the glitter that sparkles in the eyes of my girls but the pace at which they are changing and learning!  Malin is 3 1/2 and Josephine almost 15 months. It is in the last month or so that I have been able to sit back and watch them play together as sisters, and interact well to one another. Ive enjoyed listening to Malins conversations and solo play times with her toys and dolls. How shes speaks kindly and her interactions are sweet and special to witness. Josephine is becoming more aware of things, understanding what we say and listening! She is not too vocal with her words but I can tell she is understanding what we are saying and how she responds has been a fun change to see in her this last month.


A few glimpses into the girls:

Malin
-3.5 and VERY proud!
-Loves dancing, and does ballet around the house anytime she can!
-Loves to play school, and is a very good teacher.
-Calls Josephine - Jo-Fine ( I'm starting to think she believes this is her real name)
-Has memorized many Christmas songs this year and has proceeded to sing them all day and every day! My favorite has to be her version of "Hark the Herald Angel Sing"
- Has become very good at writing letters and counting in Spanish! ha

Josephine
- Molars have come! Hasn't been quite as bad as Malin's teeth  (still debating whether this amber teething necklace is to thank!)
-Started walking about a month ago, and hasn't stopped since. She is on the go, but I think shed prefer to climb to the top of  every table and counter!
-Has a gentle, quietness about her. Is content playing alone and just exploring herself in the midst of a group of people/kids
-Loves being around Malin, but seems to be a bit of a "pot stirrer" haha
-Loved the Christmas tree, ornaments and EVERYTHING


Photos coming soon!

Happy New Year to You All!

Jopsehine Turns 1!

Hip Hip Hooray! My second baby girl is 1! Time truly does fly by! These last few years and months in the lives of Malin and Josephine seem to be speeding by faster and faster! Our sweet girl Josephine.. it has been quite something watching you grow, change, learn and love on us and your big sister Malin. (Who by the way adores you!)  You are a cuddle bug, a observer, a dare devil, calm and at the same time kinda crazy! We love you to pieces and cant wait to see what this year holds for you and for us as a family of 4! Never stop being YOU, and never let go of your adventurous spirit! The world has been waiting for you sweet girl!~

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
