Fall 2018

Nothing like a novel of a blogpost to recap an entire season of life. 2019 resolution - get back to blogging. Although, I think I say that every time I type up a new post, but it's good to have goals I guess. Our fall has been busy with regular life stuff, nothing too out of the ordinary for us and I'm definitely thankful for that!

September

This month started with my Mom's Retreat to Phoenix. It was a quick trip but wonderful nonetheless. Next year's retreat is in Nashville and I'm already planning and scheming to get myself there - for the entire thing this time! :)

Gracyn lost her first tooth and refused to let the Tooth Fairy come visit. She held onto that tooth for about 3 weeks until her 2nd tooth fell out. Only then was the Tooth Fairy allowed to come collect the goods - but only if she did NOT come into the house. Gracyn put her teeth in ring box on the front porch and wrote her a note. She closed the blinds and locked the door and went out to check things out the next morning. It was such a weird thing but also hilarious. She got her money and then decided to be the Tooth Fairy for Halloween. That girl cracks me up.

Other September things - college football watch parties, Baker started full-on playing with the girls (Leighton might be his favorite person ever...), trips to Target and my 33rd birthday!

October

We did Fall things like visit pumpkin patches and plant mums. The weather was perfect so we spent a lot of time on the weekends outside playing with friends. Family and friends came to town to help us celebrate Baker and his Chromies at the Step Up Walk. We geared up for Halloween - the Tooth Fairy (of course), a "yellow Princess" and a baby cow. It was a cool night but we managed to go Trick-or-Treating and get a bunch of candy.

November

Annual family photos (still swooning over them...), flu shots for everyone and we headed to Tulsa for Thanksgiving. Tulsa has an amazing new park called Gathering Place and we spent a few hours exploring one day. If you're in the area, check it out for sure!

Our favorite elf came back right after Thanksgiving and although we technically had the tree up before Turkey Day, we finished decorating the last week of November. It's the best time of the year - bring on all of holiday festivities!
