October family time...

I said I would post more now that Bebba has left the country (my lame attempt at making her homesick), but clearly that idea hasn't panned out the way I originally planned... truth is we've been mega busy over here, not necessarily physically out and about busy- but planning out our immediate future kind of busy. Last week marked the start of the third trimester, and it was as if overnight my body reminded me "hey, you're pregnant, take it easy would ya?!" In other news, I'm pretty sure Jayme is beginning to understand that the baby growing in mommy's belly means that her world is about to change (hopefully for the better)... I just hope she takes to her baby brother better than I did when Becca was born (I was about the same age as Jayme when Becca was born and I tried to pack up her belongings and ship this new person off... clearly I preferred being an only child at the time- now I wish I could pack her up and bring her home to be here as our family embarks on new beginnings).
In between house hunting (FINALLY and officially after over a year of thinking we were ready!), doctor visits, and planning for baby boy to arrive in less than 3 months, we have had some sweet moments shared as a family of three. We are beyond blessed that Ryan secured a full time position with Edison which includes RDO's (every other Friday off!)- meaning one extra day to spend as a family getting out of the house, orrrrr a day for this mommy to run errands solo (never thought I'd see the day when grocery shopping without a toddler would be the highlight of my week!).


Irvine Park Pumpkin Patch on Daddy's day off
I think we might have that child who asks for a pony at every Christmas/birthday... Nugget absolutely loved her ride on Echo (she wanted to keep her)


soakin' up her daddy time

typical two-year-old super excited about all the pumpkins... crazy to see how much she has grown since last year in similar pictures!
family train ride... we are gonna have to work on the self portraits when the next lil' guy comes.


 This last weekend we went down to Murrieta for a birthday party... probably the highlight of Nugget's week since she seems to be obsessed with all things birthday these days (no one warned me of a birthday stage- the song, cake, presents, games... obsessed. with. it. all. )
patiently waiting for her cupcake while we sing to Juliana... and then the moment of pure bliss...
friends since their first year... just like their mommies

In other news, next week holds some kinda big "stuff"... stay tuned ;-)
