fall forward

i am so happy that fall is finally here. fall is my favorite season. besides the cooler weather, gingerbread lattes, fall leaves, apple picking, pumpkin carving, and holiday cookies... i love fall because it means halloween, my birthday, [this year my bridgett's birth day!], thanksgiving, and christmas. the best thing about all these holidays? food and family. to kick off the best season ever, i added some holiday designs to the little wellies etsy shop.

i just can't get enough of these two.

today we got pictures of the twins in their little charger outfits [just in time for tonights game!] i love avens little football bow in her hair. and i love the way the pictures turned out. i think the last one is my favorite, something about her twirling always gets me.

It's been awhile since the last post...
I spent all last week in Washington, D.C. with my eighth graders, and this past weekend Cory and I went to visit his family in La Jolla. We got to hang out with the twins, Aven & Easton; I can't wait to spoil them :)



... and I'll post D.C. pictures soon.

P.S. Wedding invitations went out this week... I hope you got yours :)

On Tuesday morning at 1:00a.m. I got a call from Cory... Allison was having her babies early! So we drove down to La Jolla to Scripps Memorial Hospital, and waited for the twins...
