More Fall...

Here's some things we've been up to the past couple weeks.  We're enjoying this fall weather as much as we can!

Fall Fun

Yesterday we had a nice afternoon outside running around the yard and playing in the leaves...so fun!

Weekly Thankfulness...

This week I'm thankful for:

A warm cup of tea on a cold fall day

A sweet little toddler who loves fresh produce from the garden

The next size up of brand new, no stain cloth diapers...I was
pretty excited the day these puppies came in the mail!

Brunch with awesome mommas and their sweet kiddos

Celebrating six years of marriage with this amazing man

Despite the sass and spunk this little one has, she still is such a little lover, giving
kisses to those around, even the cute baby in the mirror

The little bit of summer that is still hanging around and the friends
who grew these beauties



Special family time with these two

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful week!

Clara's First Birthday

This past month we celebrated our little Clara's first birthday.  Since Clara was born last August, people have been telling us how fast the time goes with these little ones.  I heard it, but didn't think much of it and thought we have time, so much time...until her first year was gone...just.like.that.  I had bittersweet feelings on her actual birthday.  Feeling so blessed and thanking God that we have a happy, healthy little girl that has made it to where she is right now, but also sad that the last year almost seems a blur and that we no longer have an infant, but a toddler on our hands.  Despite the feelings I had, she turned ONE anyway, and we threw her a birthday party with family and friends and celebrated the last year of this sweet little gals life!



My mom made and decorated these cakes...didn't she do an awesome job!?  They turned out better than I had envisioned them!

A whole year of her life, month by month.

Mom and Dad built this silverware/plate holder...They sure are handy!

 

Beautiful flowers grown by some dear friends of ours.

Hmmmm, not sure what to think of this cake



She LOVED the frosting.



Even shared a little with Daddy.

 

I had so much fun planning and crafting and we had such a great day celebrating with the amazing people in our life! Until next year little one, until next year...
