October Greetings

My how times flies. I'm totally bummed as I sit here watching the snow fall. I'm just not ready for it this year. The leaves haven't turned enough and are still green, the flowers are still blooming. I don't want to turn on my heater, but it is chilly. I thought I would share a few of our September adventures to warm me up.

We had a great month hanging out with my family. Whitney and Ryan were in town for several weeks as they made the transition to Santa Barbara. Cami came to town due to hurricane evacuations, so we all had a great time together. It was great having everyone around to help celebrate my birthday, I love a good party. It was really nice just hanging out we ate lots (as per the usual), shopped, sewed, and just sat around and chatted. It was so fun being with my sisters. It was really nice because I had a lot of help throwing a baby shower, which was super fun. We had a great turn out and it was great to get to help Jenny celebrate her upcoming baby. Unfortunately I was busy working and I didn't get any pictures on my camera, my sister and mom took some so I hope to get those soon. All-in-all it was a good time had by all.

Our highlight of September had to be our vacation to Hawaii. It was much needed and very fun. We left on the 18th and got to spend about 10 days at my grandparents home on the Big Island. We went with our good friends Dan, Steph and little S. We couldn't have asked for a better time. It was great to relax, play, bask in the sun, eat yummy food, and just get away. It worked out to be able to attend the wedding of our friends Jeremy and Adar on Kauai. What a beautiful event and fun to explore another island. It was such a nice trip and as I write I am wishing to be sitting on the beach in the warm Hawaiian sun rather than hunkering down to stay warm from the snow. I have a few pictures on this computer I will share, I will look at Chris' computer and post more if there are others that are better.

Chris is officially entrenched in school and work which is keeping him plenty busy. I'm back to work and finally feeling a little better. Still very tired, but not as nauseated, which is a blessing. We hope all is well for you.

Daniel is sitting on my lap while I read this, he keeps pointing to the pictures of Chris saying, "turn him on" "turn him on" like clicking on his picture will bring him to life...;)

Awesome pictures and I'm so glad you had that away time. I'm also thrilled to know the nausea is getting a bit better. You've gotta love that second trimester:)
