Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow....

November came so fast and before you know it I had to say Goodbye to my little family. It was so hard to kiss them goodbye. I miss seeing their faces everyday and holding them and hugging them. I miss Jake and just being in his presence. Absence sure makes the heart grow fonder. I know how lucky I am to have a family that I just adore!

I can't wait for the 1st week of Dec when I get to kiss their faces again!

Look at this picture of Logan at the airport.... talk about breaking my heart!!

I'm coming soon my little man!!!!!!

Halloween In Pikesville

Our street really knows how to do Halloween! Every year the neighborhood has a parade down our street....the skinniest street in the neighborhood....and of course they insist on leading the parade with a fire engine!

My parents and Charly came down for the festivities! We had a great day!

My duck and lady bug!

Charly was the CUTEST waitress with her costume made by my mom!

The fam

My lil duck boy!

Zoey got the hang of trick or treating really fast!!

She also got the hang of eating the candy really fast too!

Fall Time At Clarksville Farm

We spent a perfect fall day at the Clarksville Farm! We will really miss this place!!!

Logan with the goats!

Logan and Daddy on the Cow Ride!!

Zoey Kissing on the Animals!

"Uh Oh!" Zoey opened one of the gates by accident letting 3 little goats escape!!

We could not get her off this Cow Ride!!! She loves it!

Feeling Good!

I've lost 40lbs!! Yeah!!! Still have a bunch more to go, but I feel great! I feel like myself again.

My Dare Devils

I have some gutsy kids!! I blame Jake! He loves to throw them around and do all sorts of crazy things with them and they love it.

Here are they are strapped in to the shopping cart with candy! The only way to survive the store!!!

Zoey all done!!! Geez! How did she get up there??

Logan ready to go down the slide!!! I had to catch him by his ankles! He's only 10 months people!



I didn't realize Jake had put up the ladder earlier that day, so after running errands with Zoey I let her go out in the back yard. 3 min later linkin was barking like crazy and for the 1st time ever thought "I wonder if he's trying to tell me something". Sure enough, there is Zoey on the roof. Just chillin!!!!

Zoey is 2!

Zoey is two!!! I am just loving how this little girl of mine is turning out! She is so sweet, yet has so much personality and life in her!





For her birthday we were in NY to celebrate with my family before our big move across the country! We had family over and played games and Zoey got to blow out her birthday candles (like a pro) and open presents! She got some adorable outfits and even got her very own trampoline!!

Here are a bunch of things about our 2 year old:

She can count to 10 with a little help

Knows her shapes

Can't get a color right for her life. She knows all the names of the colors, but NEVER gets it right if you ask what color something is. It's pretty funny!

Loves Dora, Monsters Inc and Up and Nick Jr. in general

She could never have enough ice pops or ice cream

Great at saying Please and Thank You when you give her something

Loves to say "Ready...Set...GO" and then have a race

Got out of her bath the other day and came around to where we were naked, soaking wet and in her dress up heels

Fold her arms, bows her head and closes her eyes during prayers

Is starting to memorize her books we read

Stamps one foot and crosses her arms when she doesn't get her way

Is really nice to Logan...even when he pulls her hair

Is in a "mine" phase

Wakes up screaming A LOT at night lately. I miss my amazing sleeper! Not sure if it's molars or night terrors

Loves to sleep with mommy and daddy if we let her!

Will cuddle now!

Loves to sing songs that have motions "Wheels on the bus" "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes"

Has the cutest little voice! She talks so much now. Tries every word and says 4 word sentences. My favorite of course is "I love you mommy" which sounds like one big slurred word!

Does not like it when people are sad. Even if she is crying....if you act sad she will run over and give you a big hug

Still a dare devil!

Starting to cut out her 2nd nap.
