Hi friends (and my faithful little blog)!  I’m just checking in here to say that I’m not gone- just treading water right now, trying to keep my head above.

Where did October go?  It felt long and it flew by, all at the same time.

While I’m wishing life would just slow down right now (not much chance of that now that we are entering the Advent season filled with holiday fun!), I am doing my best to enjoy the small things.  The mantra that gets me through even the toughest of months.

Although I have been tired and mildly ill (bordering on a sinus infection now-yuck), in these past few weeks we have celebrated a sister’s wedding and a daughters birthday!  Despite any hardships we endure, we are undeniably blessed.

I’ll be back as soon as I can tackle a few more personal obligations, get well, and establish just a bit more routine and order in our home.  Hopefully it won’t be long!

Until then, I’ll leave you with a few photos of our beautiful birthday girl (Birth Day and first birthday).  I can’t believe she is officially TWO.

We chose a simple autumn spice cake with cream cheese icing this year- turned out pretty good!


We have been so blessed to watch this girl bloom and grow over the past two years.  We love you, our Sweet November Pumpkin.
