Pumpkin Patch 2013

A Change Is Coming...

There's a bite in the air. Cicada chirps are fading. The leaves, once a lush, dark green, are now yellowing at the tips - fall is approaching. The changing season brings jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin-spiced everything, ghosts, black cats, and giving thanks. For our family, the fall also brings a change in our future. In my gut I feel there is a good change coming. It may just be hope and optimism, I'm not sure. It's just something I feel when the wind catches my hair or I hear my daughter's laughter... A change is coming.

Mila's Birth Story

It was Monday, February 25th. Josh and I were preparing for the induction the next morning. We spent the day packing last minute things, figuring out how we were going to get to the hospital in the aftermath of the approaching winter storm and even bought a washer and dryer to save ourselves a million trips to the laundromat with dirty cloth diapers. We were both excited, I was getting a little nervous. I was about to make dinner and the phone rang. It was a nurse from the hospital. She told us that the staff was worried about us making it to the hospital safely the next morning and offered us two new options: come in for a stress test that night and reschedule the induction for a later date or be induced that night. I put my hand over the phone and asked Josh what he wanted to do. He told me it was my decision. With my heart in my throat and the thought of holding our daughter a day early in my mind, I told her we would be coming in after dinner.

A rainy day...

Greek Yogurt Strawberry Banana Bread

I've had this on my pinterest for awhile now and since both of us have been craving banana bread, I decided I would finally try it!

Life is...

Ah! I've been so horrible at keeping this updated! It feels like we've been so busy lately. Between the holidays, setting up the nursery (and other miscellaneous baby stuff) and just spending time together before our little girl joins it, it seems like the months have been flying by.
