Santa Meet-and-Greet

On Saturday, we headed over to the library to say hi to Santa.  Brady was much more willing to engage than in previous years and both kids enjoyed the visit.  Only a couple more weeks until Christmas and we're all excited!

Santa Paws!

Eight is great!

Somehow, another month has passed; seriously, where does the time go?  I'd be remiss not to acknowledge Abby's birthday since this blog had its genesis in her birth.  It's hard to believe she's already eight years ago.  Again, the time ... 

Happy Birthday, Abby!

Time warp!

Last night, Andrew pointed out to me that the blog hasn't been updated in two months.  Certainly, I'm still taking and posting pictures, but Instagram seems to be the vehicle of choice as of late.  This blog, though beloved, is just not at the forefront of the priority list these days.  Maybe it's time to "retire" ... maybe not ... I can't decide.  Either way, here are some pictures (the "months in moments" if you will) of September and October.  Whoa, is it November already!?  Where does the time go!?

September beach days are the best days!

School days

"Back to life, back to reality, back to the here and now, yeah!"  Well, both kids are now #backtoschool.  Brady started his second year of pre-school last week and Abby started second grade this morning.  Summer flew by but we had a blast.  I'll do a recap post soon for posterity's sake.  Onward!
