Where Has the Time Gone?

To all the moms I silently criticized for not keeping their blog up to date, I now wholeheartedly apologize!

Where has the time gone? And who has time to update a blog when they are either 1. chasing a toddler around as they discover the world, or 2. laying in bed with said toddler fighting yet another illness?! Daycare germs...booo!!!!

It hasn't been all sickness though! We have had some fun since our last post!!!

One of our first trips this fall was to North Point Mall. They have a carousel and train that rides around the mall. Matty had a great time!

"Mmmm, Mama, these sunglasses are good!!"

We also went to a Pumpkin "patch" at the beginning of the month. Well, it was really more like a Pumpkin Farm. I was actually a tad disappointed. I thought it was going to be a little more like pumpkins in the field, like a "pick your own pumpkin" set up, not a barn that had pumpkins already arranged in it. I guess mine was a bit more of a Norman Rockwell version of a pumpkin patch, but we had fun nonetheless.

 



We had lots of fun during football season! Matt's vocabulary has taken off since starting daycare. He can say so many words, including "touchdown," which let's be honest... it's just ADORABLE!!

I'll update another post for the holidays hopefully this week... stay tuned for our first haircut, visit with Santa, Christmas 2014, and our first trip to Charleston to see Lynnie and Grandfather's new house!

Until then...
