Happy Halloweekend...

i just love my little lady bug.

that's better

Thanks for going away, hot weather. I have my windows open today and an awesome breeze blowing through the house. I love it. :)

so 'regular'

When we were walking into the Buddy Walk event, I was looking around at all the people and trying to figure out what this event was all about. I noticed 2 couples (looked like high schoolers)holding hands, walking towards us. As we got closer, I saw that all four of them had Down Syndrome. I thought it was SO CUTE! They were just hangin out, like any other typical teenage couple would. I loved it. I think that was one of my favorite parts of the day. Then today, I came across THIS video.


"Because we want to protect them so much, we are typically the first ones to treat them poorly by subconsciously denying them their rights to have a normal life."

90's?

Not so sure I am happy with the forecast for tomorrow. Not sure i am so happy about the last week we have had of hot weather. I want to wear scarves. Tomorrow's high for my town is 90. Thats gross. I'm so over it. I want some FALL!!!

I love my family

Craig is in the living room dancing (to 80's music) in front of Annabelle sitting in her swing. He would kill me if he knew this was my post today. She is so entertained. so am i. :D I am SO blessed. I would never change a thing. I am soaking it all in.

I'm a LUCKY girl

Today was a fabulous day at the Buddy Walk. It was so awesome to be a part of it, and see a huge turnout. I loved watching the other families. All of us there LOVING a sweet someone. I feel so lucky right now, and today. That I have someone so special in my life. What a privilege! I am also so thankful for my family who was there to support Craig and me BECAUSE they are also in love with Annabelle.

some of my faves from today...

oh, buddy buddy buddy

Today has been a super long day, and i am surprised to even be finding time to post. WHILE, I am playing a game of cards with some family. so, i gotta be quick.

Had a garage sale today. sold some things. things i thought were junk are now someone's treasure. i like garage sales.

we also went to take some Fallish pictures of my sweet little lady bug....


These are two of my absolute favorites from today! i am pretty sure she is the cutest thing i have ever seen.

I have been really super thankful to have my mother in law here. its a blessing to spend time with her and share some laughs. and of course I LOVE how much she adores my sweet baby girl.

Tomorrow is Buddy Walk, and I am pretty excited about it. I hope I can give lots of hugs. To people I don't know, but know that I adore!

Ok....my turn to shuffle and deal....
