Pumpkins....




DISCLAIMER:  I've been trying to get the spacing right between the pictures and text in this post for the last hour... And Blogspot is fighting me every step of the way.  Please don't judge me by the way this post "looks."  I'm letting it go for tonight simply so I can share a few memories...  This isn't OVER....






Hello again!!!!  What's it been... Another 3 months?

We've been enjoying everyday.  :)

I can't BELIEVE that my little ones will be 1 year old on Monday.  I'm a little in denial about the whole thing, but it is finally sinking in I think.  My parents are here to help celebrate this blessed event and I was just saying to my mom tonight that it was very different watching Noah go through each phase and celebrating each birthday with him...  Simply because I knew deep down in my heart that I would be there again with another child.  I feel the closure that will come once my babes are officially not babies anymore.  I am done saving precious blankets for the next blessing, dreaming of when that might happen.  I pass by the baby clothes section in stores now with a little zing in my heart, knowing that Liam and Xio are way too big for those soft little jammies now.  I have shed a few tears already, and I'm certain there will be more.  But I'm so very excited for my little ones to move on to the next stage and grow into little toddlers.  They are already there in so many ways.  I can't wait to celebrate with them on Monday. :)

In the meantime, we are ringing in the Fall!!!!  We went to Roca Berry Farm today and had a great day.  Noah wore himself out on bouncy houses, giant jumping pillows, pony rides, haunted mansions, and then savored a warm glazed donut and kettle corn.  Good times.  Here are a few of my favorite moments...

Grandpa and Noah about to brave one of the haunted mansions!



Gram just hanging out... Sorry. :)





It was VERY chilly out there and everyone had rosy cheeks and pink noses. 







We love Grandpa and Gram. :)


Mmmmmmmmm.... Kettle corn and donuts.  Doesn't get much better than that.


Why do baby BOYS always have the most beautiful eyelashes????  Both of my little men have dreamy eyes....


Pictures of the big birthday bash coming soon!!!!  I LOVE this time of year and am finally feeling like I might be able to start blogging and sharing again on a regular basis.  Nothing wrong with hoping, right?

Be good and Happy October!
