September happenings

So many changes for us in the months of September and October that I'm happy to finally start sharing today ... starting with the biggest change of all, moving to Meridian. There have been very few nights in all 7 1/2 years of our marriage that Nic and I have spent apart but with a then nursing baby, I couldn't leave Lyla to go back and help him pack up the Uhaul so I put him on a bus and with the help of his parents and a kind neighbor, they did all the heavy lifting and he arrived the next afternoon with the rest of our belongings. Nothing symbolizes change quite like a big box full of everything you own but it meant that our house had officially sold and we'd be moving in to our new home a little less than a week later ... 

I'm thankful my mom put up with us taking over her house for a full two months. A few memories while we were living there ... 

I caught Lyla in the the most beautiful light pouring in through her kitchen window. It was the witching hour (5:00) and we gave her an empty box to entertain herself at our feet while cooking dinner ...

Liam's Iron Man costume arrived in the mail and I took this to remember that he has since worn it every single day after ...

Having the best time entertaining herself in my mom's mirror by watching herself fall backwards over and over again (haha) ...

Getting the cutest new sweater for her birthday that will take a while to grow into ...

Afternoons spent at the park ...

I love these next series of park pictures SO much!!

When he willingly asked me to take his picture on the Target ball and then as soon as I pulled out my camera, turned around so I could get the shot of his back (haha) ...

Also big news ... I live near a Target!!!

Doing a couple of fun creative lettering projects for my sister-in-law ...

Poor Lyla girl was sick for a couple weeks of the month (around her birthday too, poor girl) but these extra snuggles, heaven! She rarely falls asleep on me anymore and those squished lips ...

October happenings coming tomorrow! XO
