Perfect Autumn Sunday

Yesterday was wonderful! The chill in the air and scent of "Pumpkin Spice" from Yankee Candle made for a very cozy day. In the morning we went to church. The babies looked so cute in their Fall clothes, that I tried to get a few good pictures. I wasn't very successful however......

This is a good one of our "Ham"

A little brotherly love going on.

After Sunday afternoon naps, we went to Barnes and Noble to read and have a very special treat. Everett had a chocolate and peanut butter cupcake. Needless to say, he loved it! He shed big tears when he was finished crying for "more please."

When then went home and played in our back yard. The sod guy finished it last week, so we have been having so much fun playing!

After dinner (barbecue chicken and potato soup) I attempted for more pictures.

Everett is just horrible about taking pictures. As soon as he sees the camera, he yells "no" or just cries. Being 2 has its challenges.

I feel so blessed to have my family. I had many "moments" yesterday where I just thought, "ahh, this is so good." I just want to store it away in my memory forever!

A Silly Habit

Happy October!

Baby giggles

Opa!

Today we went to downtown Asheville to the Greek Festival. It was so much fun. We went during both Hampton and Everett's nap, but they did so well.

Everett loved to watch the children dancing. I think the dancing was his favorite part.

In fact, while Eric and his mom were getting gyros, Everett and I were watching this woman dance and all the of the sudden she saw him dancing and pulled him onto the dance floor! He danced with her for the whole song, just the two of them on the dance floor. The crowd ahhhed and clapped, and honestly it was one of the highlights for me of Everett's life. I laughed and actually cried from pure happiness on the sidelines like a fool. I just loved it and unfortunately since I did not have my camera I will just have to store it in my memory bank. But I don't think I will ever forget it. Everett just loves an audience and if he is provided with one, he will perform!

Hampton did amazingly well. He was awake and alert the whole time.

Hampton coveting Everett's ice-cream. We needed this because it was so hot.

I had so much fun today. I love spending time with my family and today was amazing.

Autumn Love

Autumn is now officially here. I had already decorated the house a couple of weeks ago in attempts to will it to arrive sooner. Here are some of my loves.....

Preschool started earlier this month. Everett loves it and has adjusted so well. He always tells me how "teacher is sweet" and now he has a friend named Max who he talks about all the time.

And this little pumpkin melts my heart!
