Fall Decorating... Outside

Our front steps are all ready for Fall.  We had fun selecting pumpkins at Whole Foods this year.  We were going to visit a pumpkin patch, but haven't made it there yet.  We like these pumpkins, and we think they are perfect for carving, and maybe even stuffing with something yummy!

Happy girl!

I usually always go with yellow mums, but the purple ones were really calling my name this year.  I love them!

And my silly girl posing for the camera.  She is very excited about Halloween and is planning to dress-up as bunny... it should be fun!

Totally Random Photos

Ok, I am so far behind on posting.  Hopefully I will get this blog updated very soon!  As I was going through photos for a post today, I came across these sweet photos of my little munchkin.  Since I didn't have this blog when Charlotte was really little I thought I would share a few baby/toddler photos with you.

Just look at my sweet girl celebrating her very first birthday! 

I love those sweet baby cheeks. 

And celebrating mommy's birthday at thirteen months.  

My little ballerina celebrating Halloween at nineteen months.

And at 2.5 years old getting ready to celebrate another Halloween.

Thanks for letting me reminisce a bit.

Charlotte's First Day of Preschool

Charlotte started preschool today, and she did so well!  I have felt stressed the past few weeks about sending her to school for the first time, and I was relieved to find out that she enjoyed it so much.  There were no tears this morning from Charlotte or Mommy!  I did my share of crying this summer... this was big for us!  It was time though, and she was ready.  Mommy was ready, too.  I look forward to having three mornings a week to myself.  My house is in desperate need of cleaning and organizing... I am so far behind.  Charlotte is looking forward to school again on Friday and that makes me so happy that she is happy!

I snapped this photo this morning right after she woke up.  Already excited about her big day!

Ready to go with her new backpack, and bunny of course.

I enjoyed a relaxing morning at Starbucks catching-up with a few of my favorite magazines.

It was a good day!

This Moment... A Summer Lunch

Really good crusty bread, drizzled with olive oil, topped with lots of fresh basil, and mozzarella cheese.  Pop it under the broiler for a few minutes, and you have the perfect summer lunch.
