APPLE PICKIN'

a couple weekends ago we went apple picking with our favorite crew on the perfect fall day. 

i'm so lucky to have amazing friends who want to keep on adventuring, and being part of these 'first's' for our baby girl. it means so much to me.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PUMPKINS

as expected, hazel did a great job hosting her first pumpkin party. the get together is easily one of my favorite traditions of the year.

we spent the afternoon with friends eating gallons of chili frito pie, drank spiked cider until we couldn't anymore, and covered our deck with pumpkin guts.

sadly my trusty leica minilux punked out on me so i couldn't take pics - so this one will have to do this year.

LET THERE BE PUMPKINS

tomorrow is our fifth (!?!) annual pumpkin party. if all goes well there will be chili pie, pumpkin guts, and apple cider everywhere

i'll keep you posted

RUFF

DIY: CRAZY HAT FOR OUR CRAZY BABY

i decided hazel needed a bright hat to match her colorful personality, so knitted this little guy today. love the way it turned out!

TAKE A WALK AROUND THE BLOCK

i try to take a long walk with hazel at least a couple times a week- especially while the weather is so great. this was today's adventure (with at pit stop at the pediatrician)

maybe i should start making fun shapes on the map and making that my route

YEAR TWO

two years ago today chris and i got married. right about now i was finishing up my vows and heading over the house to get ready with my best friends. that day was one of my happiest - having a blast with friends, family, and my new husband.

yesterday we celebrated our 'cotton' anniversary by spending the day in robes soaking in tubs and getting massages at AIRE ancient baths. 

so much has happened in the last two years if i think about it too much my head might explode. i'm so glad i have an amazing husband to be there by my side through it all. forever.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: OUR LAST SUMMER WEEKEND TRIP

back in august we foresaw fall right around the corner, so made sure to go on a weekend trip with our favorite adventure crew before summer ended.

it was already a bit cool, but perfect weather for napping in the sun and beers around the fire at night.

it's only october 3rd but i miss you already summer.
