Halloween

Funny how Halloween is exciting for both kids AND adults. For one day each year, it's normal to see the person driving beside you in a Strawberry Shortcake outfit, or for me to drop off my child at preschool dressed like a lion and it be... normal, no questions asked;)

This year, our therapy department at work was the cast of Wizard of Oz. Being all big and pregnant, I was given the title of Cowardly Lion. So thankful for my sweet friend, Lindsey, whose hubby had a costume for me to borrow! I was warm and "roomy" all day:)




Campbell was a generic Princess, though, if you asked her if she was Cinderella, Belle or just a princess, all those titles would get an enthusiastic head nod "YES"! I got a little nervous when she woke up, saw Mommy dressed as a lion and all of a sudden wanted to be Simba! Whew. Had to really talk up the whole Princess excitement at that point. We had a great time trick-or-treating out in the neighborhood, seeing neighborhood friends, then back to the house to check out the loot with Daddy (who snuck a few pieces for himself, I think). *Disclaimer: I cannot let him take full responsibility for raiding the candy...as did this sweets-lovin' Mama*







I hope all of your Halloweens' were happy! Enjoy your week!

3 1/2 month picture recap...

Here we go... deep breath and ...

JULY

we went to the mountain house with my family for the 4th... my sister and her fam come to visit Daphne!







AUGUST

Campbell is dedicated at our sweet church (better late than never, right?:))...one Sunday evening, Campbell gets down from our bed and breaks her elbow. Surgery to place 2 pins, and half cast for 6 weeks.





SEPTEMBER

cast comes off... we can swim a few last times for the season. We go to South FLA to visit Ryans' sister. (Waiting on Nicole-- hint, hint, for cute pics from this vacay!)






OCTOBER


so far, not much going on around here. Campbell just had her 2nd set of tubes placed and an adenoidectomy, and she is officially in her "big girl room" so we can make the nursery BLUE!




We are looking forward to the upcoming months ahead! Due to our very recent obsession with Disney princesses, Campbell will be Belle for Halloween. Trips to ATL coming up for our birthdays and later the UGA/AU game. Seaside for Thanksgiving and all the Christmas fun!

Happy weekend!

We've been MIA...

Hello all! (Is there anyone out there that still checks this blog?)

This is a quick, photo-free, update to let y'all know we are alive and well. We just came out of (Lord Willing) the craziest summer we've had to date. House fires (my parents' mountain home, not ours), broken elbows and surgeries for pins (Campbell), car trouble (both of our cars within 24 hours of each other), computer crash (hence the no pics b/c I'm on hubbies' laptop), and last but not least... some GREAT news...

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY BOY GREEN on FEB 25th!!

So... please excuse our MIA status as of late.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Hoping to download some pictures soon to recap the "fun" of a 2 year old in a full arm cast-type contraption, with a morning-sick Mommy who had to clean around the protruding elbow pins! Yikes. Glad that is behind us.

Love to all!!
