Tuesday Ten

1. EK is almost one year old. Who knew that could be so emotional?
2. After a whirlwind of a summer, we are finally HOME. Please, don't ask us to go anywhere!
3. EK was dedicated this past Sunday, which was also the day of her birthday party...BIG day for such a little girl! She is still recovering...actually literally...she has been very clingy today.
4. I LOVE fall. Truly. The cool weather (notice I said cool not COLD), the colors outside, the crunch of leaves, long sleeves, socks, and scarves, cider, pumpkin bread, pumpkin apple spice or anything fall-ish scents, etc. etc. etc.
5. I do not like candles. I used to. Not anymore. This makes me sad because of the upcoming season...I might have to look into scentsy. We shall see.
6. We have an upcoming trip to visit my hometown and family this fall and I CAN'T WAIT!
7. We recently rearranged our living room and we LOVE it! We only did it to make more room for E's party but we liked it so much that we decided to keep it this way. Before it was so cramped...suffocating even...and now it's nice and open and E can stand on the couch and look out the window. She loves it.
8. We finally got rid of a mattress set that has been sitting in our hallway and nursery for two months. I sort of wanted to punch them every time I had to squish by them just to get into my kitchen or E's closet. I finally decided to donate them to the Salvation Army but before I could even get in the door a woman stopped me asking if she could have them. YES. We drove them to her house right then. I will be honest with you when I tell you I walked up and down my hallway afterwards a few times just because I could. Combine this with rearranging the living room and I feel like I have a new house!
9. I realize E is almost 12 months old and I still haven't posted her 11 month stats. I may or may not get around to it.
10. My mom recently gave me a compliment concerning how I parent. Coming from the greatest mom on the planet...it meant more than she will ever know.

Have a great week!
