I love, love, LOVE fall weather
:-)

Today my dad, nephew Xander, Arya, and I went to the farmer's market.  They had a Halloween theme, mostly costumes and candy for the kids. I got a full bushel of apples and a jar of pumpkin butter:-)  Will be trying some apple recipes for a party later this week--will post how the concoctions turn out :-)

Arya and Dylan

Practically Cousins :-)

Barely 2 weeks apart

They both made appearances (and kinda stole the show, mostly) at the kids' halloween party

No costumes though--it's hard enough to find regular clothes to fit these miniature munchkins

:-D

Before the party, (where like 6 kids and 3 adults dressed up lol), Arya went to her 1st corn maze and on her first hay rack ride!
I think she slept the whole time (it was good, chilly weather and easy bouncing lol) :-D

My adorable younger sis and her kiddos with my new kiddo.

Grandma and Poppy too :-)
Mia is dying to be a little mommy lol
Poor Xander, bored from the moment he stepped into the hospital room...

Thanks to my wonderful Lauren for the pics!

Healing

I have never been one for being stuck in a house for days on end.  These cold, cloudy days make it A-okay.  I can stay inside and heal in peace with a cup of tea.
Give me another week-ish, and I can get out with my new baby in my new jogger--in the cold, cloudy weather!
I am so ready for winter!

New Adventures

It's been a while since I've written...
This is mostly due to the craziness of this year--a good crazy.

In brief: I moved back to the States, am learning about life with my love, and have added a third little one to our equation: Arya.  She was born October 10.  I'll post pictures soon--we're still getting our formal announcement together :-)  She's such a cute bundle of joy, and a little hog when it comes to feeding time, which is any time she isn't passed out. LOL

I have a second blog I started about my experience being pregnant in another country.
I'll keep this blog up for a while.  I got sidetracked from that blog as well because of the end of the school year and move back to the States.  I will go back and fill in details.  Feel free to track that blog as well.
