Welcome, Little Princess!

This past Tuesday, Princess G finally arrived! We are so excited for her to join her family, our dear, sweet friends T&D- and their two little boys! She is beautiful!D was a trooper to let us come up for a quick peek at the princess on Tuesday night. We're excited to add another girl to the girlfriends!She loves her daddy- his voice calmed her down immediately. How precious is that?
I think this mommy of boys will do just fine with a little girl!
It makes me think there is a possibility of us having a girl- if we decided to go for #3! Wink! Can't quite convince the hubby yet!

Congrats, T&D! We're so thankful that little G is here- thanks for sharing her with us! Can't wait to see many pink and purple outfits on that sweet little one! Love you!

Loving These Autumn Days

Well, October has come and gone- and I'm left asking, "What happened?" This beautiful fall season is passing by all too quickly. Here's a recap of our October...

I had to have my sweet boys pose in front of my pumpkins- I saw this on Martha Stewart years ago and have always wanted to use pumpkins as a base for fall mums- loved it- until the pumpkins started going bad! My mom came for a 10-day visit! She got here a couple of days before Jas headed off for a 10-day elk hunt. We loved every minute of our time together. We got tons of projects done around the house (more on that later).

The boys loved their time with Mima- she was so fun. They especially enjoyed the times outside in the leaves.
Despite all of the playing, we did get all these leaves raked up. Now more have fallen, so we'll be doing it all over again this weekend!
Mima brought a puzzle to do with the boys- and also bought them some Diego dominoes. They loved playing games with her. Noah insisted on wearing his bee costume around the house several days before Halloween!
Noah's learning how to wink!
For Halloween, Jonah was Pooh bear and Noah was a honey bee. Noah loved running around "buzzing" with his antennae and stinger in the back. Special thanks to my old coworker friend, Linda, for the hand-me-down costume. It was a hit. Jonah, however, wasn't big on dressing up. It must be an age issue- Noah hated it last year, too. We attended our church's Trunk or Treat Halloween night. Too fun- puppets, games, music, and of course, CANDY!
I guess I'll start preparing for Thanksgiving now! Wow, time is flying!
