Fall and Family

We had so much fun on Aubrey's first Halloween! Adam and I are reminded every day of all the things that will be new and different for us from here on out. We had fun dressing her up and taking pics (which is about all we can do at this age). We went and visited cousin Will and we all went to the block party in downtown Somerset. Aubrey is so lucky to already have several cousins her age. Will (Adam's step-sister's son) is just two weeks younger than her and Blaine (Adam's sister's daughter) is four months younger. My brother Andrew and his wife are expecting in January. I'm so excited for her to make life long friends and memories with her cousins like I did. Aubrey is getting such a personality these days. She laughs all the time and is crawling and pulling up on everything. She is so inquisitive and just seems to love life. She has become quite attached to mommy and daddy and she knows now the difference between strangers and family. She's such a fun, happy baby and we love her so much.

Fall is Here

I love the changing of seasons, and sharing it with Aubrey makes it even more special this year-the pumpkins, apple pies, mums, fall colors, cider, crisp air, and it's not fall until we make a trip to Haney's of course. What I'm looking forward to most is spending the with Aubrey at home this week (Fall Break!!) It's the little things that I miss-spending time in bed in the mornings, getting her up from her nap with her sleepy eyes and big smile, and just playing in the floor for hours. These are all things I don't get to experience everyday because I have to work. Although I miss her terribly, I think that it makes me cherish those moments even more when I do get to spend time with her. I hope we can live up every moment this week.
