Christmas Wishes

From our family to yours, 

We wish you a very Merry Christmas!!!

Benjamin, Angela, Elizabeth, & Baby Piech

Elizabeth is 9 Months!

Where is the time going?!  Elizabeth is now 9 months old and continuing to grow up every day.  She now gets around by crawling, can pull herself up onto her knees, brings herself to a sitting position, and can stand supporting herself for a couple of minutes at a time.  Our little girl also has her third tooth coming in and eats solids like her stomach is a bottomless pit!

Our happy beautiful daughter!

 I love being greeted to this smiley face every morning :)

Pumpkin Season

Yesterday I was in a baking mood, and what better ingredient to use this time of year than pumpkin! Since I had enough I made both pumpkin bread and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!  They turned out quite delicious :)

Rempfer Wedding

Friday night Ben was a groomsman in our friend David's wedding. David was the best man in our wedding so it was a special event for us all. Congratulations to David & Courtney Rempfer!

Elizabeth's First Trip to Pigeon Forge, TN

The week before Labor Day we went to Pigeon Forge, TN with the Fields side of the family.  The 3 of us ended up getting colds toward the end of it, but we still had a good time.  Ben and I even managed to get away one morning and enjoy some time just the two of us in downtown Gatlinburg, TN.  

Here's some pictures from a few of the many things we did during the week.  

 We all stayed in a big cabin and enjoyed hanging out together.   

Two of the days we had fun at Dollywood. 

Elizabeth even got to ride the Carousel!

 Elizabeth was such a trooper both days!  There were plenty of people to carry her, but she also enjoyed just hanging out in the stroller.

Our bright and cheery little girl one morning!

All the siblings and spouses went putt-putting one afternoon 

(Landry is taking the picture so he's not in it).  

And yes, this a hint of the new music video we made. 

 

On the last day we went to the Applebarn for breakfast.

Last pic before heading home!

Raven Run

This afternoon we went hiking at Raven Run nature reserve where we took the trail to the overlook of the Kentucky River.  Elizabeth had fun in our new-for-us baby carrier that Ben enjoys using as well.
