Fall Festival





The Forced Smile

Today we went to a small fall festival they had in town to raise money for a speech therapy service.  We made it kinda late, but we enjoyed our stroll and took some "fall" pictures since the weather has cooled off this weekend. (Thank you, Lord!!)  This is my absolute favorite time of year and I am currently obsessing over what costume to put my little cutie in this year.  Side note obsession: Pumpkin.  Any and EVERYTHING pumpkin.

Got the after vacation blues...


This picture REALLY makes me miss being on vacation. We're going to buy tickets this weekend for our Christmas trip to Maryland. Can't WAIT! I hope it snows again!

Happy Sunday

Homemade calzones with chicken sausage, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and fresh mozzarella. Now to cook up some of the fresh veggies I got from the Farmer's Market for Caroline's September menu.

Vacation!


Snoozing on the grandparents.

Playing at her end of the table.

Another afternoon siesta.

Braving the rain in Key West.

Ahh, the Bahamas.

Enjoying our babyless excursion.

Our ship.
The Princess.

Last night dinner.

Sorry about the lack of posts, but August has been a busy, busy month for us!  The first week of August we spent on a 5 day cruise to the Bahamas, courtesy of the Ottenbacher parents/grandparents(thanks a million!)  We had SO MUCH FUN!  I had a LOT of anxiety going into this with Caroline being just over 6 months old, i.e., nightmares about her somehow going overboard, being stolen by pirates, etc.  Haha, but really I was very nervous about how she would behave with all of the new changes.  SHE WAS AWESOME!! I felt like such a proud parent.  She was the smallest baby I saw on the ship and everyone just loved on her the entire time, which she enjoyed immensely.  And the best part was that she got to spend so much time with her Aunt Jenny and Ottenbacher grandparents.  Now, Seth and I have the cruise bug and are trying to figure out how we can take a babyless cruise in the not so far away future..hmm..
