The Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch!

It's hard to believe that next week Miss K will be 11 months!  I have no idea where the time has gone, and everyday she is acting more and more like such a big girl.  I am in full-on party planning mode and since her actual birthday is on Christmas Day, we are going to have her party the weekend before.  She's walking on her own a few steps at a time and has gotten really good at standing up from a sitting position without holding on to anything!  She loves to walk with anyone who will hold her hand, and will walk forever if you let her.   She is not a picky eater (yet), and will eat pretty much anything I put in front of her.  She's a pro with her sippy cups and I am going to work on weaning off the bottle and on to a sippy cup with her formula soon.  Any tips from seasoned mommies on this one are much appreciated!

I wanted to share a few pictures of Miss K at the pumpkin patch.  We went as a family, but of course got no family pictures!  There were some great ones of her and we actually got a few pictures of her and I! 

Happy Fall, Y'all!

Well, it seems like fall has finally decided to grace the ATL with its presence!  At least enough so that Casa de D has had the heat turned on for a couple of weeks, much to Big Poppa's dismay.   It's been a busy fall so far, hence the lack of posts.  We've had something going on every weekend and our calendar is packed until Christmas.  Literally we have (and have had) something every weekend!  Two weekends ago, Big Poppa and I went to New York City to celebrate our 8th anniversary.  It feels so weird to type that!  It seems like just yesterday we were getting married.  Now here we are eight years, four states, two dogs, and a baby later.  Insanity I tell you.  Where does time go?  Since all our wedding pictures were on film (there was no digital option then) and I'm too lazy to scan, here are a few from over the years!

Sadly, there are no pictures from NYC...we took some and then left our really nice camera in the back of a taxi for the next passenger. 

Happy Anniversary, Big Poppa!  Along this wild roller coaster ride that is our life, I love you more now than ever.  Thank you for being my best friend, my partner-in-crime, my biggest cheerleader, and the best baby daddy in the world!  I am so thankful that you picked me to love.  I can't imagine riding this roller coaster with anyone else.  I love you!
