Tis' the holiday Season!

We've been enjoying every single second of this Fall season...a quick jaunt to the beach, picking out pumpkins, trick or treating and a wolfpack football game.  Amongst our various adventures, it's really the little things that have brought us happiness during this time of year - cozy socks on a cold night, a warm fire, a cup of apple cider, and a talkative and silly little boy that melts our hearts.  We are thankful  for these sweet blessings!

Big Brother Clark!

Its been a fun fall thus far, pumpkin patch pictures to come.  However, more importantly, we found out we were pregnant back in August and could not be more thankful for this blessing!  Here are a few pictures of Clark in his new shirt!

A trip to the Riverbanks Zoo

Last month we headed South to the Columbia Riverbanks Zoo with some great friends.  Clark absolutely loved it, I couldn't believe how entertained he was watching each animal exhibit.  For a little boy always on the go - he actually stood still watching the Elephants, giraffe's, monkey's, etc!

Such a fun day with all these sweet mama's and babies!

Summertime CATCH up and WRAP up...afterall FALL is here!

And here we are - Fall has arrived, my most favorite season of all.  Here's to cozy nights, yummy soups, pumpkins and holidays!

18 months!

Clark has become such a BOY these last 6 months.  He turned 1.5 on Sunday!  It was fun sifting back through old photos, he has grown up so much in such little time.  At 18 months he is non-stop and on the go, constantly moving, talking and playing.  He rarely sits still.  Loves to be outside, loves for us to read books to him, loves his pappy (paci) and binky (blanket).  He loves cars, trucks and learning new animal noises.  Loves Stella, loves to dance, loves telling us "nite nite" and "luv you" when he goes to bed.  His most recent babble has been "wher da pappy go" if we can't find his paci.  Loves fruit - peaches and blueberries at the moment.  We love you sweet boy!

I am so glad to hold your hand each day as we continue through this journey!

Sweet Summertime

The title of this post should be "Hot Summertime",  considering the 100 degree temps we've endured lately!  Thank goodness Clark is loving the beach because we've spent a lot of time at the ocean this summer.  The breeze by the shore and refreshing water make the heat more bearable.

Clark is growing so fast, learning new words each day, saying "peeeas" and "dank u", "love you" and "nite nite" - just a few that melt our hearts.  Amongst his sweet smile and new vocabulary, he also knows how to turn on and off the water works and tantrums.  He will be 18 months in a couple weeks - hard to believe.   As the days fly by, we continue to love this little boy more and more.  Here's to soaking in the memories!
