October 1st

October is one of my most favorite months!  It welcomes FALL, there are birthdays to celebrate, the pumpkin patch, costumes, Oktoberfests, and cooler weather!!!  YES!  October is also Down Syndrome awareness month!  All over the country, Buddy Walk takes place, and this will be our third year to participate.  (More on that later in the month.) 

One way to spread awareness is to do the '31 for 21' blog challenge.  The year Annabelle was born, I did a really good job keeping up with the challenge, blogging every day for the month of October.  Last year, I did my best.  THIS year, I will again, do my best. I will TRY to blog for the next 31 days.  I may not make it every day due to life being a bit busier lately.  ;)  But, for sure, October will have more posts than any other month.

This morning, we celebrated the first of October by a morning in the park!  I haven't been jogging since I was about 16 weeks pregnant with Carter.   Today, I tried to pick back up with one of my favorite things.  It went ok, and I am just glad I did it.  Getting out and moving my feet was my only goal.  ;)  After the jog, I hung out with my kiddos in the park for just a bit, soaking up the awesome weather...

  Happy OCTOBER!
