enjoying the little moments.

Every once in a while there comes a time when I just don't get a chance to blog so often, or it's not forefront in my mind, or I'm too busy with projects to update, or I'm just soaking in the moments too much to get the chance to write about them.  I also haven't been as attached to my camera lately.
Sorry grandpas and grandmas.

Enjoying the little moments.
Fall was all sorts of happy and joyful.

apple donuts and apple cider slushies, {sigh} you will be missed till next year.



 
 
During our little vacay from the blog:  volleyball season has ended (another amazing season), officiating season has begun for Todd, also the season where he is home a lot more :), chilly weather has moved in (with the exception of the 65 degree weather here today), many projects are needing to be updated on our little DIY blog, Quinn's big girl room is still in the works (but getting closer), Tinkerbell is a new favorite character, Christmas lights are up (not on) and I'm anxious to bust out the Christmas décor here soon, lots of baking (many orders coming up around the Thanksgiving holiday), and I've taken family pictures of two lovely families the last few weeks. 
So, busy nonetheless...
 
Hope you all are enjoying a fabulous weekend!

breakfast at tiffany's.

Holy cow...I think this has definitely been the longest I have gone without a post.
So, we have been very busy enjoying this Fall season and Halloween with many "Halloween" events, including two downtown trick-or-treats, a trip to Wisconsin, a party, lots of pumpkin decorating, cake pop making, lots of time with Great Grandma Ginny before she left for Arizona, a carnival, photo-taking of friends, celebrating the post-season of Todd's volleyball team (Varsity won regionals last night and continue on! - exciting!).  And then on top of it all we have been fortunate to have Grandma and Grandpa here with us for the last week from Florida!

So, while this will not be a meaty post (because many of the things above continue today, and another trip to Wisconsin tomorrow for little niece brynn's birthday), this will be a little update of our very little Audrey Hepburn. :)

Yes, our pretty little peanut was Audrey Hepburn for Halloween.

Audrey with the Minnie Mouse pumpkin she decorated for our little town's Pumpkinfest.

How did we come across her costume?
Well, pinterest of course.
And the fact that this may be mom's last year to choose. ;)
And that she already had a dress (her flower girl dress from Drew & Kristen's wedding) it just needed to be dyed. 
More to come on that project and how not all crafts and projects are completely successful. :)
Sparkly necklace on loan from mommy.
Pearl necklace on loan from auntie K.
Pretty tiara on loan from auntie Cynthi.
White gloves and sunglasses were the only things needed for purchase.
Except that Halloween week came in chilly, so we needed a black long sleeve shirt and tights.


Quinn and Brynn ~ cousins.
 
many more updates to come...
project and craft items for our DIY page too!
