Halloween Weekend.

happy to say: "hello weekend!"

Kicked off the weekend with getting a new bed for the guest room. Had dinner at Aja Noodle with Marla and Justin. Saturday added to the registry & brought KK along, she's so patient with my indecisiveness. Saturday night = harvest dinner at mom's = delicious! Pumpkin pie and all. And speaking of pumpkins, once we carved them we took cool pics and then roasted the seeds. We had such a fun, fun time!! Sunday I worked on the guest room while Jer and Mario worked on the drywall seams in the nursery. For dinner I made corn chowder. Even had time for a couple more baby bump shots this weekend. Enjoy...

Baby Bump, A Fall Series.

I'm frequently getting asked to update my blog with baby bump photos. So, with some nice weather this weekend we took the opportunity to snap a few shots. Here I am with my favorite fall fashion accessory: the baby bump :o)

these were taken this morning before work. i heart this shirt.

@ seneca park on sunday..."hi baby."

Sew Fall. So Fall.

I recently received a fall order that took my sewing out of hibernation. Check out some of the goods...

earlier today i stopped by church for our annual craft sale. for lunch i had a pumpernickel bagel and DELICIOUS squash soup. i picked up a little trinket for jer's advent box gift and these beauties:
