Time for a Break

Well I am finally done with this semester. I am very ready for some down time and to not worry about studies for a bit!
We had a nice thanksgiving, thursday was with hubby's family, and saturday was with mine.

my angel

E is learning lots of new words constantly, and is doing really well putting them together! She is so smart! I am so excited for Christmas, tomorrow we are going to bake some cookies :) and maybe get started on all those projects I've been wanting to get to!
Hope you have a great weekend!

Almost Thanksgiving!

I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is next week already! I am so excited for the holidays this year! Christmas just means so much more to me now that we have our girl! Last year was fun, but this year is the first year she will really be excited about everything! I already have her next doll baby picked out :)
School is going well, the last few weeks have been really stressful but things are getting better and we only have a month left before the end of the semester. Thank goodness! I am so ready for a break!
Here are a few pics of our girl recently :)

Hope you have a great weekend!

Little Tinkerbell

     

She is soo funny!!!!! She has been having a ball playing in this outfit today! She is passed out hours earlier than usual for her nap! haha! Hope you like the pics of our sweet little Tinkerbell! If you want to see the pictures bigger, just click on them and they will come up bigger on your screen, and you should be able to scroll through them.

a Craft and Tinkerbell :)

i finally got to one of my many projects i've been wanting to do.... i saw this cute wreath on pinterest:

and when i went to michaels this weekened (for the first time in forever, i really need to make more time for scrapbooking!) i was able to find everything i needed to make my own :) so here it is!

now if i could finish the many other projects and try all those recipes i've been saving :)

E had lots of fun passing out candy last night, here is a picture of her doing that, but i didnt get any good ones of her costume, so that will have to wait and hopefully get done in the next couple days.  she was tinkerbell :)

 we are getting some of the rain and wind of the hurricane. i really hope it doesn't get any worse than this! since its gloomy outside, we've been staying inside and doing a lot of coloring :)  she has really enjoyed that lately!

hope you had a great weekend! back to studying for me :)

20 months

Our precious girl is 20 months old already!!! I can hardly believe how quickly time is flying. I always say that, but it is so true! We played in the leaves for the first time the other day, she had SOOOO much fun! she loved it! and screamed when we had to come inside!

 

this smile melts my heart!

I saw a great idea on pinterest where each fall you make your child's age out of leaves and then put them together after a few years for an age progression. (http://dirtydiaperlaundry.com/happy-3rd-birthday-fletcher/) This is her first one- 1 year old! :) as it turns out, it is kinda hard to make a decent looking "1" out of leaves! lol oh well

Have a great weekend! :)

Starting Over

I decided to take up blogging again. Mostly because there are so many recipes, crafts, etc, that I want to try (thank you, Pinterest!), and I thought this would be a good place for me to share my results. I hope to be able to update regularly, but I am not sure how much time I will have to devote to this with my heavy school load, on top of everything else. :-)
I will say, though, that I am LOVING fall! It is always my favorite season, but this year I am loving all the cute outfits for my girl, and all the decorations and scents!
