Pumpkins, Gourds, and Harvest Corn, Oh My!

    Last weekend we went to the Dallas Arboretum for the second year in a row. This time it was even better because Aaron was with us and we had an extra little pumpkin in our family. This year the theme was The Wonderful World of Oz. We traveled through Pumpkin Village on a yellow brick road just like in the movie. It was really cute. Connor had fun running around picking out his favorite pumpkins and going through the children's hay maze. Olivia slept the entire time. As you can see in the last picture she decided to wake up as soon as we got home, but was still yawning.

Olivia: One Month Old

Olivia,

       You are O N E month old today. I really hope the next month goes by slower than this one because it went by way too fast. We spend all day, every day together and it is wonderful. We like to cuddle and takes naps together while your brother is at school and daddy is at work. Speaking of your daddy, we are quite sleep deprived, but we are surviving off naps and coffee. We love you so, so much and are so lucky to call you ours.

XOXO,

Your Mama

Playground Play Date

    Weekday mornings are usually pretty slow around here, especially now that we added a new baby to the mix. Connor doesn't start school until noon, so we have plenty of time to do things before, however we usually don't go anywhere. I like to take the mornings slow, hence why I chose the afternoon session for school, but yesterday we changed things up a little. A friend and I made plans last week to take our kids to the playground one day this week. We planned to go on Tuesday, but it rained the night before and I was worried the playground would still be wet. We changed it to Wednesday {yesterday} and Connor had so much fun.  Now he is asking to go everyday before school. 

Olivia's Newborn Photos

    On September 4, when Olivia was just a couple weeks old, I decided to take it upon myself to take her newborn photos. I didn't hire a photographer, and tried my best. Let me tell you, it wasn't easy. I was waiting to post them because I wanted to take a few more with an outfit I ordered from Etsy over a month ago, but it's coming from London and still hasn't arrived. So, without further ado, here are my sweeties newborn photos ...

Daddy's Home

    The day Aaron had to go back to work from being off for ten days of paternity leave, he had to leave us for seven nights. We were really hoping he was going to get out of the field exercise because he just had a newborn, but at the last minute he ended up having to go. Connor, Olivia, and I survived though! When he came home, we were all so happy. We missed him and all his help!

My happy boys + Olivia.

XOXO,

Jenn
