Happy Halloween!

Here is Rome with his halloween costume!! And don't worry- he was wagging his tail the whole time! Tonight husband and I are so excited to hand out candy to all of the neighborhood children. We are hoping to carve our pumpkins before they start showing up, but we'll see if that happens. May you all have fun and safe nights and may you not get sick from eating all of the yummy candy!

25 Weeks and Counting!

I realized the other day that I had not posted any pictures of my growing belly lately and since my wonderful photographer (and sister) took some great shots, I thought it was time to show them. Thanks A for using your talent on me. It's amazing how much my belly can grow in such a short amount of time!

Beautiful Fall

While outside with Rome yesterday I noticed a bunch of beautiful, brightly colored leaves on the ground and just had to take a picture. I wish these colors could last forever. I really wouldn't mind having leaves all over the ground if they were always this beautiful. Take a moment to look around you today and discover something beautiful that God has created. It makes you appreciate all of the little things. You can post what you find on here!

Snow!

Just wanted to let everyone know that it has been snowing on and off all day. There's a light dusting on the ground and it's really pretty with the colorful fall leaves underneath. Husband has the camera, so I'll have to post pictures later, but it is really pretty and really cold!!!

My Trip

This weekend I went with a few ladies to the Upper Penninsula of MI for a scrapbooking weekend. It was a blast! The days were full of cutting, gluing, eating and lots and lots of laughing. These are pictures that I took of lake Michigan and Mackinaw Bridge on the way home. It was so beautiful. The strange thing was that even though it looks like the ocean, the water and air were not salty, and the water felt ICE cold. I would love to go back there during the summer and walk along the beach and camp at a state park. Ah...beautiful!

October is here

Sorry everyone for not posting for a couple weeks. I keep thinking about what I've done lately and nothing interesting pops in my head to write. Life has slowed down to a normal pace. JD and I realized that our stress level is so much lower here. That's nice. He is in the groove with classes and doing well- which we all knew he would. He's a great teacher and a hard worker.
The leaves are starting to change outside. I will post pictures when they are at their peak. It's so cold here, so I'm sure it will be soon. I'm headed out this weekend for a fun scrapbooking weekend with the girls. It should be full of laughter and good conversation. I'm looking forward to that. Hopefully I'll get a lot of my projects finished so that I can post the outcome. We'll see...
