happenings of the last few months

It has been a while since I have posted, a long while!! Since then a lot has happened. We had a house warming party in February, an Easter get together at my parents (one of many), a bridal shower for Joel and Kim, and took a family trip to Williamsburg, Virginia in May. Much more happened in between, but these are some of the highlights.

Snow in NC!!!!!

Barely there, but it's snow!


Terrible pic of me, but Mia said "cheese" so I had to post it! :)


Mia touching the snow and saying "Brrr."


She found some icicles.



Beautiful (thin) blanket of snow. (It will most likely be gone tomorrow.)

just life

Our Halloween Chicks

Mia dressed up as a cute little cow, and Kellie was a 70's hippie chick! Aren't they both adorable!

my new hair-do (do you like it dad?)

Enjoying Fall!

It's hard to believe fall is already here again. I know fall officially started a few weeks ago, but it seems down here in NC that fall weather is finally here to stay. It is kinda a relief after the humidity of summer.

This time of the year always seems to get me excited. I think it is because I know Christmas is just around the corner. Still, I try not to rush through these months in anticipation of what's to come.

So, here's to enjoying the fall - pumpkin carving, leave piles, cool crisp nature walks, and trying not to think about Christmas until November 28th!! :)

Happy Fall!!
