Mommy and Annie go to the park!

Baby Proofing?

Whats that? I own this joint!

I put the bow in bones...

Skull and Cross Bones that is.

Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness...

...has never danced in the rain.

Today was Annie's first rainy day where she was aware something was different. She kept crawling over the windows and following rain drops down the glass with her finger. The wind was howling and she was not the biggest fan of that part, but all in all, she is like mommy and daddy and loves a rainy day!!

If a carriage....

turned into one of my pumpkins at midnight...I'd be one happy princess.


Today we went to Cohn-Stone studios in Richmond. This is the second year in a row that we have gone to do this. My mom started collecting these glass pumpkins about 7 years ago, then I started about 4 years ago, then my mother-in-law Cathy, and today we got Michelle (Sister-in-law) her first one! I love that its now a family tradition for all my favorite ladies! They are truly beautiful. I fall in love with all of them when we go, and have such a hard time choosing, I think my collection is pretty rounded out at this point! I can't wait to do my dining room table! Who want's to come for dinner?

At the open house they blow the glass right in front of you, serve cookies and cider, have about 1500 pumpkins out on display, and Annie's favorite, they have 2 puppies that run around and greet everyone. I met one of the artists Molly for the 3rd time today...she is lovely!

Below are some pictures from the day!


"Can we go yet guys? I'M SO EXCITED!!!"




"Gosh mom, you are hysterical!!!"





I love these little jeans on Annie...how come I can't wear jeans with buttons?






"Yeah Mom, you got your pumpkins, I got my lovey bear and bottle... we both win."
