Oh October, You've Been So Good to Us

October has always been one of my favorite months.  Lots of pumpkins, apples and fall foliage all around. We've had fun taking in all the beauty that is around.  As the air gets chillier and the days shorter, I will take it all in as much as I can.

I'm thankful for a husband who just goes along with all the festivities. He'd rather spend time at home, but he happily agrees to do whatever I have planned because he knows it makes me happy and most importantly, we are spending time together as a family!

When mama's happy, everybody is happy!

How about dem apples?!

We did our annual apple picking at Marker Miller Orchards. 

Baby Kate stayed in the baby Bjorn the whole time. Matthew had a fun with his cousins.  And grandma even joined us this year (her first time)!

What to do with all those apples?? Well, we made caramel apples. Yum!  Matthew eats his caramel apple by licking the chocolate and caramel off.  Not even a bite into the apple.  What can I say, the kid inherited mama's sweet tooth!

Two Months Too Long!!

Has it really been two months since my last post??!! There have been many times in the last two months where I kept telling myself that I needed to update the blog.  Not because I have tons of readers who are anxiously waiting to hear from me (said with sarcasm)!  But because I need to capture memories for baby Kate's baby book (and our family book).  And thank you to those who have reached out to ask for an update.  It warms my heart to know I still have some followers out there! Ha!

Here's the low down:

* I am officially back at work (started back on 10/20/14). The last 10 weeks have been spent just snuggling with my baby girl!  And enjoying a lot of daytime T.V.  :)

* Kate is now 2 1/2 months!  She is such a good baby.  Sleeping about 4-5 hours at night (hallelujah!).  Those every two hour feedings thru out the night was brutal!

* Big brother Matthew is doing great!  He loves her so much and is protective of her.  Happy to report he is fully potty trained (since August), with the occasional accident, but he is very proud of himself and so are we!

* We have been enjoying this beautiful Fall weather (my favorite time of year).  Pictures to come of pumkin patch festivities.

* Life has been busy with two little ones.  Sometimes when life gets hard, I have to remind myself that I prayed for this and the Lord certainly has blessed me!

* I will try and get back into updating the blog more regularly.  I have lots of posts to catch up on (basically from Kate's birth story on).

Happy Friday!!
