Early thanksgiving

November 11, 2013

While I was home the timing worked out really well to plan early Thanksgiving during my trip. Woo! In years past I’ve not only missed Thanksgiving but my family members would also have an early Thanksgiving where everyone would come up north to my dad’s house in the woods. It was nice spending time with everyone. It was also my new nephew’s first trip away from home. It was exciting having the new family member around. We all wanted to hold him and all he wanted to do was eat. Oh babies.

The company was great and all the food was wonderful. It was a lazy weekend full of laughter (maybe too much since I got a little reprimand from my sister for laughing too loud when she and the baby were trying to get a nap in-whoops-love you sister!) and eating-perfection.

Halloween this year

November 1, 2013

Halloween this year was a little overshadowed by the arrival of my new nephew so we didn’t have any big parties to go to but last night my mom and I decided to dress up and head out to dinner.

Since she is a first time grandma she went as granny smith (apple) and I went as ant Jessica since I’m a first time aunt. Our costumes were a bit thrown together last minute but I think they turned out all right. We had fun laughing at ourselves. We even boogied a little on the dance floor at the restaurant with a few zombies.

I hope you all had a good Halloween! Now it’s time to think about Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping (shudder).

Baby’s first walk

October 30, 2013

Most of the time at my sister’s was spent sitting in her living room but we did manage to get out a couple of times. We decided to take him for his first walk and to get our own legs moving but baby Lincoln was only cool with a short walk and then cried pretty loudly on the way back because he was hungry. That little cry is so heart breaking.

Momma looking good.

Vinny was also excited to get out of the house.

Little baby in there.

I love all the fall leaves everywhere. There are so many more in Michigan than Seattle. I grabbed a hand full and tossed them at the dog. I’m not sure he was amused.
