I love fall!!! Always my favorite season! I just had to make a trip to the local pumpkin patch with Paige this year.... especially because Ellie's arrival has been pushed forward to this week - Friday!<br /><br />Paige had a blast running around through the pumpkins and letting us chase her. She is getting so big and it is crazy to think how much she has changed in a year! I mean look at the 2 pictures... last year she was "propped" up against the pumpkins... just a wee 4 months old.... this year she is a big girl... standing, running, laughing, clapping, having a blast at almost 16 months old!! Just think... next year we will have both girls there! :) Crazy!<br /><br />So Ellie will be here now on Friday - 10.10.08 (unless my dr says differently today). My blood pressure has gone up so they are ready to deliver me now... which is fine with me, I am feeling so DONE with this pregnancy!!!<br /><br />Happy Fall everyone!! :)Kristi Manganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03182309705939448141noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24947569.post-91152589999573554012008-09-17T18:36:00.000-07:002008-09-17T18:45:04.702-07:00We have a date!!!Ellie will be here by October 24th! Yay! This past Monday at my 34 week dr appt we scheduled the c-section *officially* for 39 weeks on October 24th! I cannot believe that we get to meet her in 5 weeks! I am getting so excited! We are starting to FINALLY get ready for her too! We've gotten down the bassinet and baby bottles, I've washed all of the newborn clothes and put them away in her dresser, and we've started to organize the girls' room! I am just giddy thinking about having another newborn (I know, I know, what am I thinking...) But seriously... we are thrilled to be blessed again and we cannot wait to meet our little Ellie Belly! :)<br /><br />Here are a couple of photos from her 3D/4D ultrasound! What a cool experience!!! We think she looks a bit like Paige!<br /><br /><br />Ellie at 31 weeks gestation:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9RvP4o0iUAI82RlVSC0RYXqNROdzwUStmUX8ULm_BiHHzcWPZUadioLqx3uAo37TjkYYpKq1ofn2TblxGycAI0MNShvsV712aKl37DV4xatenOZfwwChjRcfZvD8owhjOPfS/s1600-h/Ellie+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9RvP4o0iUAI82RlVSC0RYXqNROdzwUStmUX8ULm_BiHHzcWPZUadioLqx3uAo37TjkYYpKq1ofn2TblxGycAI0MNShvsV712aKl37DV4xatenOZfwwChjRcfZvD8owhjOPfS/s320/Ellie+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247170124870908018" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Paige at 35 weeks gestation (1 week old):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCuScJua_sGC71msW0Hthmj2uvvf-yns4CmAOxOC2IsAAaNzbDHe4XPuq6MwS6z70bjpSmUQ3_D38n6CaA9KhJz44133_s6FObG1uQ3z9Y2I96Ie0zuv3vCIFiZsl1j4aeaWhS/s1600-h/5x7+Paige+-+week+1+137.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCuScJua_sGC71msW0Hthmj2uvvf-yns4CmAOxOC2IsAAaNzbDHe4XPuq6MwS6z70bjpSmUQ3_D38n6CaA9KhJz44133_s6FObG1uQ3z9Y2I96Ie0zuv3vCIFiZsl1j4aeaWhS/s320/5x7+Paige+-+week+1+137.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247170746132229442" border="0" /></a>Kristi Manganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03182309705939448141noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24947569.post-35555558030013644852008-08-02T08:35:00.000-07:002008-08-02T08:36:37.987-07:00I call this....."Enough with the F'in pictures Mama"<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOW4kTZeZTdbhXEVspxfcGeI7MbTb2ZoFENSgmhh_qPJQ33ft1qP5Az28khyphenhyphen2dF9AZ-6Ye7T74cvlEJ6cG4dBERsFfv8ulfevIC6CcQsZkSvPhi-P-2cEZCP5yrH1jcTmbFk2x/s1600-h/IMG_5248_e_small.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOW4kTZeZTdbhXEVspxfcGeI7MbTb2ZoFENSgmhh_qPJQ33ft1qP5Az28khyphenhyphen2dF9AZ-6Ye7T74cvlEJ6cG4dBERsFfv8ulfevIC6CcQsZkSvPhi-P-2cEZCP5yrH1jcTmbFk2x/s320/IMG_5248_e_small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229944532761223490" border="0" /></a><br />Taken this morning during a photo shoot gone bad..........Kristi Manganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03182309705939448141noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24947569.post-9687547845086124682008-06-23T15:14:00.000-07:002008-06-23T15:28:49.671-07:00ONE!<span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ILaKQArPAHR9YsSH4VcH6h8JHPSEJdgeTzksUbhtktStxS6_lrdii8ImZF-za_7WFYnoqONtLcOKR33feyU8Dnia1elLoefuFCwa5Lu2S_oGWGKKjJ1Vh_cI6LRfh3NvcfcJ/s1600-h/IMG_8674_edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ILaKQArPAHR9YsSH4VcH6h8JHPSEJdgeTzksUbhtktStxS6_lrdii8ImZF-za_7WFYnoqONtLcOKR33feyU8Dnia1elLoefuFCwa5Lu2S_oGWGKKjJ1Vh_cI6LRfh3NvcfcJ/s320/IMG_8674_edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215204077925528914" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-size:100%;">My sweet baby girl is <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">ONE</span>!

A fun luau pool party celebration with all of her favorite people! I was so happy that the little kids from daycare could come - Paige loves them! We also enjoyed a visit from Lottie, Nathan, and Corbin! And it was great that all of our friends and family were there to celebrate. Paige had a spectacular time at her party. Her favorite part was definitely splashing around in the kiddy pool with her friends!

Of course it had to be my suitcase - complete with Paige's clothes in there too.... the best part is that Spirit has like ZERO customer service... when I asked what I was supposed to do for clothing for my daughter and myself they simply said, "We do not reimburse for the first 24 hours, then after taht you can buy a cheap pair of underwear, a toothbrush, and deodrant and then you can file a claim for those and they will "most likely" reimburse you.... LOVELY... right? Of course I had to go out and buy new stuff for us... including dresses for his Grandparents Surprise 50th Anniversary party! Thankfully I like to shop, so that was not a problem for me! :)<br /><br />Overall, it was a great trip. We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo (loved this!), the Shedd Aquarium, and enjoyed some time with Patrick's family whom we haven't seen in 3 years! And we thoroughly enjoyed all the terrific food that Chicago has to offer!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJdrDftjh25DeCV2hBZlS6NtYqXkwBD7tPXO1FFLvsoHY1jkxpHjq4gbnQ2tT4E4TQp6JW458LpsedF8hA8r46QPKg31oLaJqon8dT1-Ak_SOirmWDL1RGi3idD0QeWKtwgpcH/s1600-h/IMG_1779_edit_hi.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJdrDftjh25DeCV2hBZlS6NtYqXkwBD7tPXO1FFLvsoHY1jkxpHjq4gbnQ2tT4E4TQp6JW458LpsedF8hA8r46QPKg31oLaJqon8dT1-Ak_SOirmWDL1RGi3idD0QeWKtwgpcH/s320/IMG_1779_edit_hi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212826830582609794" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqs_kFCTcmmHbkU2xmYh0CgzXfaXimeoixfXzCyFV6s8yJn9RrDQNyBcPpDjci6kHF2VRZqznDXpF6w8P8Wh3QV88O6wknoZKvYfYPFhIENHMehdNXllKdQfdFKX3ph18kPAdU/s1600-h/IMG_1773_edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqs_kFCTcmmHbkU2xmYh0CgzXfaXimeoixfXzCyFV6s8yJn9RrDQNyBcPpDjci6kHF2VRZqznDXpF6w8P8Wh3QV88O6wknoZKvYfYPFhIENHMehdNXllKdQfdFKX3ph18kPAdU/s320/IMG_1773_edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212826932734839922" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSUehyphenhyphenXIbpGs6m7eWiMOqHB0vDPI3EJzB_I-4BnTsXb_2UOVYpYUB8A0QTtVAz6KXQGfgAzATK7aZ7yI2bf_C8n6zDIk8Zr4SO5MLUcxvIN5ZpOr4FMKdtUnnVv8uD6VUGnpvG/s1600-h/IMG_1418_edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSUehyphenhyphenXIbpGs6m7eWiMOqHB0vDPI3EJzB_I-4BnTsXb_2UOVYpYUB8A0QTtVAz6KXQGfgAzATK7aZ7yI2bf_C8n6zDIk8Zr4SO5MLUcxvIN5ZpOr4FMKdtUnnVv8uD6VUGnpvG/s320/IMG_1418_edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212827054750123922" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKtk6n3Foo-jYClQv1OdFC8jGcKj7DfuoLfwwk9YVAxWdf83jm5jHPGVwnHbFJRF8vYvm6rGbSj_s5eOJ4GTJsd8-GP84gf-9QUxL95RCl09nB9q4ngw-6fkf2k6jHOOfZQKqw/s1600-h/IMG_1705_edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKtk6n3Foo-jYClQv1OdFC8jGcKj7DfuoLfwwk9YVAxWdf83jm5jHPGVwnHbFJRF8vYvm6rGbSj_s5eOJ4GTJsd8-GP84gf-9QUxL95RCl09nB9q4ngw-6fkf2k6jHOOfZQKqw/s320/IMG_1705_edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212827212601616658" border="0" /></a>Kristi Manganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03182309705939448141noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24947569.post-76079972119204029052008-05-11T10:41:00.001-07:002008-05-11T10:47:43.984-07:00Twice Blessed....<a style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1pgyoci2x2IIif5ZYWgZaTYyZ8QIce8BjPz959fCKV98I6wCmNweJCn1KN2skeiDYvn2sV52KoP4VeALaktnn5UvN2E8yqKNFuRiR6Wq2Qv9KyrWfdk56ReLVPmWoQQr73DBd/s1600-h/small+momma+and+paige.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1pgyoci2x2IIif5ZYWgZaTYyZ8QIce8BjPz959fCKV98I6wCmNweJCn1KN2skeiDYvn2sV52KoP4VeALaktnn5UvN2E8yqKNFuRiR6Wq2Qv9KyrWfdk56ReLVPmWoQQr73DBd/s400/small+momma+and+paige.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199177000052960098" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy Mother's Day!

She is becoming quite the big girl. She eats in her high chair now... she has 2 teeth... she gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth (crawling here we come)... she weighs about 18 lbs.... she blows raspberries all the time and LOVES it.... she absolutely loves her kitty cats, especially Charlie...<br /><br />She is just amazing!<br /><br />Here are some recent pictures of Miss Paigey-Waigey...<br /><br /><br />With her new taggy blanket that I made for her:<br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/Kristi1229/?action=view&current=IMG_1756copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 257px; height: 386px;" src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/Kristi1229/IMG_1756copy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My Blue-Eyed Girl:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzJbX_LH0EKXYffUp6EjjUaBdfap3QM2HwhaGumB2dFpcI1BThY0x-zPTIESHc_e0byHTTQbymliFa6atwF-XLy2kjSMDjNlqJlFFWpdRmqjQTTTA3esc6-xzQk1TAfr_L09e6/s1600-h/paige+border.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzJbX_LH0EKXYffUp6EjjUaBdfap3QM2HwhaGumB2dFpcI1BThY0x-zPTIESHc_e0byHTTQbymliFa6atwF-XLy2kjSMDjNlqJlFFWpdRmqjQTTTA3esc6-xzQk1TAfr_L09e6/s320/paige+border.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168042365991792322" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Swimming last weekend in the pool:<br /><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/Kristi1229/?action=view&current=poolbabypaige.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 375px; height: 520px;" src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/Kristi1229/poolbabypaige.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />With her buddy Caden:<br /><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/Kristi1229/?action=view&current=smallwatermarkedIMG_0830copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 367px; height: 262px;" src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/Kristi1229/smallwatermarkedIMG_0830copy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />What else is new... well other than hanging with Paige, I have been working on my photography. Kristi Mangan Photography just finished our first photo contest - you can check it out and see the winners at <a href="http://www.kmanganphoto.typepad.com">www.kmanganphoto.typepad.com</a> . I am getting ready to update my homepage with a bunch of new photos and new things that I will be offering! Lots in store for Kristi Mangan Photography - it's going to be exciting!<br /><br />I have also picked up a new "hobby" - like I need anymore... this one is fun because it combines my love for photography, photoshop, scrapping, and online message boards. I am a "siggy" designer at Simply Chic Graphics. You can check us out at <a href="http://www.simplychic08.proboards99.com">www.simplychic08.proboards99.com </a>. If you ever need an online siggy be sure to come by and put in a request! Here are some examples of siggies I have made using Miss Paige...<br /><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/Kristi1229/?action=view&current=sepiakristi.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/Kristi1229/sepiakristi.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/Kristi1229/?action=view&current=kristipaige.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/Kristi1229/kristipaige.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I think that pretty much wraps up our life right now. Patrick is busy with tax season so that leaves Paige and I to hang by ourselves, which is wonderful! I am very much looking forward to spring break (although its late this year - 2nd week in April)...<br /><br />Thats all for now!Kristi Manganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03182309705939448141noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24947569.post-43915645501585140242008-01-17T14:39:00.000-08:002008-01-17T14:44:19.306-08:00All You Need Is LOVE Contest!Kristi Mangan Photography is holding our first contest - All You Need Is LOVE.

This is insane. It feels like just yesterday she was a newborn and we were waking up every 3 hours to feed her at night... and now she's a big girl (well not really - but she's much bigger...)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29Qe8JP7LvIUryDs3taYYqcs3jZH4Zt_-O2y6o22EpuOD8kjLlxlH4E6rPGKbBNXEUKCpjfWk-n1fBigX_hZouX6MLPH8vXFUh8HgUsH3zlfmSliRUHfn8p9HChmiMG8E-8ff/s1600-h/small+Paige+6+months+growth.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29Qe8JP7LvIUryDs3taYYqcs3jZH4Zt_-O2y6o22EpuOD8kjLlxlH4E6rPGKbBNXEUKCpjfWk-n1fBigX_hZouX6MLPH8vXFUh8HgUsH3zlfmSliRUHfn8p9HChmiMG8E-8ff/s320/small+Paige+6+months+growth.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146183618620956914" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />At 6 months...<br /><br />- When she eats any foods she likes she makes the cutest "mmmm.... mmmmm.... mmmmm..." sound... So far her favorite foods are peaches, applesauce, and peas.<br /><br />- Her favorite bedtime story is Pajama Time by Sandra Boynton ... and momma and daddy know it by heart! "It's Pajama Time... ooooooh ya"<br /><br />- She has a full-blown party in her crib each night when she goes to sleep... she grabs her feet and kicks and rolls and just laughs and squeals with delight. It is hilarious!<br /><br />-She can roll in both directions and she is quite a squirmy wormy!<br /><br />-She laughs hysterically when you blow on her belly. She has quite an adorable laugh!<br /><br />-She does not always enjoy her carseat - and when you go shopping forget about leaving her in the infant seat - she MUST be sitting upright in the stroller or in her Baby Bjorn so she can look around and take in the world.<br /><br />..... She is the light of our lives.... a blessing from above.... our whole world's happiness. We are more in love with her than ever!Kristi Manganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03182309705939448141noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24947569.post-14675114372405654102007-12-10T20:03:00.000-08:002007-12-10T20:12:49.781-08:00Busy Busy...Now that I have neglected this blog for almost a month...

They are truly the best! My sister, Kim, was going to a Halloween Party and asked me what she should dress up as... well after thinking about it a bit I suggested that she could be an 80's workout girl! She instantly loved the idea and the brainstorming began. We had so much fun talking out every aspect of her costume - from her hot pink leggings with heather gray legwarmers - to her plastic bangle bracelets and earrings - to her cut-off sweatshirt complete with "jazzercise" iron-on logo - to her braided headband with a ponytail on the side. What made the outfit even better was Susan's suggestion to find an image of the "airbrush kitten" that was popular in the 80s to add to the sweatshirt and Susan also found my mom's old rhinestone machine (back from our Baton Twirling days) so Kimmie could add some bling to her ensemble.<br /><br />Here is the finished product... kind of makes me wish I had a Halloween Party to go to - maybe next year...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVr9y6AndSzNjkEwYDTLp6j3-aa_BnNZsDC7aHNzUJ5TX7qbXGkvD42bitcv7KzwrlYemWqAQGBJQB2yttpBPEcy0BMGL8Nttk5vj2A_qsZnEXKCffiPcAKMWrrlJT2yWA0FL1/s1600-h/kim+0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVr9y6AndSzNjkEwYDTLp6j3-aa_BnNZsDC7aHNzUJ5TX7qbXGkvD42bitcv7KzwrlYemWqAQGBJQB2yttpBPEcy0BMGL8Nttk5vj2A_qsZnEXKCffiPcAKMWrrlJT2yWA0FL1/s320/kim+0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126383609651707938" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpU6aMsTK0IG8gem5UpKDmpYkmZV-tF0DT5C9B80PF0dc0Bya6QpqVWJMKDhKo4eTGa9F1-ar67Ps-TCZvBFunafsA_j-2fairUj_LYgtREakCmI1DL23OFGtsJpw9alc994mj/s1600-h/kim+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpU6aMsTK0IG8gem5UpKDmpYkmZV-tF0DT5C9B80PF0dc0Bya6QpqVWJMKDhKo4eTGa9F1-ar67Ps-TCZvBFunafsA_j-2fairUj_LYgtREakCmI1DL23OFGtsJpw9alc994mj/s320/kim+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126383734205759538" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEyXEAVZZASzPM9LZBHmkvMY5sjnB2Gpjj7LloBynsJADKFIymJjTnuuh9nhDYZNjvTmusZzDVvj1m-fnVWQBdFeqKHwxHwy2E9eVDLjphGk4vJgh3w4sNB6EUdH_xRs7NOa2x/s1600-h/kim+6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEyXEAVZZASzPM9LZBHmkvMY5sjnB2Gpjj7LloBynsJADKFIymJjTnuuh9nhDYZNjvTmusZzDVvj1m-fnVWQBdFeqKHwxHwy2E9eVDLjphGk4vJgh3w4sNB6EUdH_xRs7NOa2x/s320/kim+6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126383850169876546" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnsvHShuqt5ULI9vqhDCIMylnXwbLx1G-XVnXMWCWh3WrgApvRZUSyH_zuB-bgZzKBMwemvNH-WMMjzG8poZ73PxolB3v2vByWzSaqn0SmDoWaFJ4SJRrU4qykV5AArJk8EE_t/s1600-h/kim+4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnsvHShuqt5ULI9vqhDCIMylnXwbLx1G-XVnXMWCWh3WrgApvRZUSyH_zuB-bgZzKBMwemvNH-WMMjzG8poZ73PxolB3v2vByWzSaqn0SmDoWaFJ4SJRrU4qykV5AArJk8EE_t/s320/kim+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126384000493731922" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha_EMO-5FpzxWUpUOEaEjm9Xnc1qjRMvDAZy2aEmT8y-Top5e4T0Al7taR7SLP3TTlhy2a1hELmQ_JSjgvK_Ybcy-JfShtNr7US2xzdYSXliqBCVKpJ2YdyZqgczqqDj6rDl3t/s1600-h/workout+kim+and+paige.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha_EMO-5FpzxWUpUOEaEjm9Xnc1qjRMvDAZy2aEmT8y-Top5e4T0Al7taR7SLP3TTlhy2a1hELmQ_JSjgvK_Ybcy-JfShtNr7US2xzdYSXliqBCVKpJ2YdyZqgczqqDj6rDl3t/s320/workout+kim+and+paige.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126384133637718114" border="0" /></a>Kristi Manganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03182309705939448141noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24947569.post-14377928156269843072007-10-22T19:10:00.000-07:002007-10-22T19:13:35.584-07:00Announcing the Kristi Mangan Photography Photo Blog!!!So...

We went to the local pumpkin patch (which was awesome this year) and had fun taking lots of pictures and picking out the perfect pumpkins. We picked three - a tall skinny one (like Pat) and a shorter plump one (like me)... and we also got one of the little baby ones (like Paige).

School started back up again and let me tell you it was sooooo strange not being at school. I kind of missed it! The beginning of the school year is always an exciting time... this year mine will be delayed a bit until November when I return back to work.<br /><br />Instead of meeting my new students and teaching those beginning of the year lessons this past week... I spent the week with one of the loves of my life - Paige! It was fun just hanging out together at the house! She's finally starting to get to the point where she isn't sleeping 20 hours a day - no... now it's more like 17 or 18! haha! But in those extra 2 or 3 hours that she is awake, it is fun playing with her and getting to know her!<br /><br />This week during one of those play times, Paige and I invented a new game called "Get the Buggy off my Back!!!!" It went a little something like this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5tMDes8qd0UHfY_nDsWnHJGAx3eSsBLVoZROrD3NIo4KLsXs7Cpa2rNDG73qFK7Uzmpr_K1SF8-vOJ2JlLkAxwaykqVXOEbQ3SpBhV0Be9HeDjcHe8DPUSjy7TYdPRFZg8NiQ/s1600-h/buggy+on+back.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 178px; height: 356px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5tMDes8qd0UHfY_nDsWnHJGAx3eSsBLVoZROrD3NIo4KLsXs7Cpa2rNDG73qFK7Uzmpr_K1SF8-vOJ2JlLkAxwaykqVXOEbQ3SpBhV0Be9HeDjcHe8DPUSjy7TYdPRFZg8NiQ/s320/buggy+on+back.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102832895938531026" border="0" /></a><br />She was sooo cute and she was successful at getting the buggy off her back 3 times!! She is getting so big and I am so happy that I have this time with her!Kristi Manganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03182309705939448141noreply@blogger.com1
