Family Time

Family time.  We get a lot of it.  Of course, I always want more, but we are really, REALLY blessed when it comes to Chris' schedule.  I complain when he's not home by 5, but seriously, we have it so good in this department.  Around here there are a lot of folks are in residency or med school or deployed and they sure as heck don't have 2 weeks vacation at Christmas and 2 months off in the summer!  Thank you Chris for choosing such a family-friendly profession. 

Anyway, we are still enjoying life in Texas and will soon enjoy some extended family time with Chris' folks and grandma who are coming for a week!  Looking forward to having our parents get together.  I think it's only happened twice in 6 years! 

Here's some shots of us playing at the park--we do this A LOT!  Another of Charlotte's pasttimes--playing with cardboard.  

And lastly, I got some business cards from Moo and I love them!  There are like 48 different designs and they are mini-sized.  Love them.



Pumpkin Muffins

My friend Mary Stuart told me about this recipe that I just remembered AND it's perfect for the season!  It's super easy (2 ingredients) and super delicious!  Literally, combine a can of pumpkin and spice cake mix, pour into greased muffin tins and bake for 20-25 min. in a 350-degree oven.  Apparently, they're only 2 weight watchers points too!  I've heard that it's good with chocolate cake mix as well. 

Enjoy!

New Day, Different Hat

One thing's for sure, this girl LOVES hats.  I mean obsessed, no question about it.  So, I'm thinking Halloween will be a big hit!  Not sure what we'll be yet, but it'll have to include a hat.  Here are some pictures of us out on the patio enjoying the amazing weather we've had!  I'm pretty sure I was telling her to smell the flowers not the watering can, but hey!? 

This wig is now included in the hat category...by the way anything can be a hat--dishtowels, pillows, blankets, t-shirts (esp. as they are being pulled overhead!), etc. 

Breakfast hat.  It was just too cute!

Side note, I'm gearing up for a few craft shows this holiday shopping season!  I'm excited to share a table with my new etsy friend, Stacie.  She is a great photographer and does a fun smattering of onesies, tile, canvases, and wire crosses.
