I blinked and October is gone! I'm glad, that despite the weeks of sickness we've had, that we finally got in some good fall fun before it was all over.
Here are the remaining highlights of our October...
Buckeye Brownies
I was wanting a yummy fall snack that didn't involve pumpkin. I am a fan but it was time for a little something different. Thanks to Kristyn at lil'luna, I now have a new favorite. These brownies are not meant to make your waistline smile, but they will make you happy. I do suggest that you have multiple people to share these with (or not). I bet you can't eat just one!
Trunk or Treat
The church down the road from our house holds a Trunk or Treat each year. It's wonderful to see our friends and watch G play with her buddies.
CBC's Fall Festival
Our church throws a fall festival every year. It is a wonderful way to outreach to our community. G decided she wanted to be Rapunzel, which was fine since N had outgrown his football outfit (she was originally going to be a cheerleader) that I bought him two months ago. It was way too short decide buying it much larger than what I thought I might need. We has a wonderful time with our church family and others in the community. G loaded up on candy...which we will all enjoy lol.

Reminiscing
On October 20th, our friends adopted their son. He is perfect in every way and we are so excited to get some snuggle time with him soon!
October 24th marked 3 years since my grandpa's passing. It's always so bittersweet. I am so thankful that he is with Jesus and no longer suffering. However, I know he would adore his great-grandchildren and my heart wishes that he had been able to meet them.
October 25th marked 7 years of marriage.
On October 31st, 2014, we found out that we were expecting baby #2. It was truly a miracle that we will forever be grateful for.
So much fun! Love the costume! We found out we were expecting the day before Halloween! So cool!
ReplyDeleteThose are really sweet highlights! Esp at the end. Adoptions and anniversaries both sad and happy and finding out you were expecting.
ReplyDeleteA lot of big events in October. Happy anniversary! Looks like a lot of pregnancy news was going on last Halloween. We had our first ultrasound with baby #2 last Halloween too ;) Love the photos! Crazy how fast kids grow. My son barely fit into his costume by the time halloween rolled around, and I'd only bought it a few weeks earlier.
ReplyDeleteTrunk or treats seem to be all the rage these days, and I have yet to go to one. I love our little neighborhood, so we have stuck with that. And congrats on 7 years of marriage!!!
