I haven't been the best blogger lately, I've typically tried to update once a week, but that hasn't been happening. Bare with me, I'll get back in to the swing of things soon.
We had a fun day getting ready for halloween tomorrow. Liv and I had a nice little mother/daughter time. We made sugar cookies, & carved pumpkins. Olivia is super "girly" she insisted on making pink, purple, yellow, and lt blue frosting for the cookies. Definitely not the traditional colors for Halloween. AND she wanted to carve out a heart on her pumpkin. That's okay though, I like our little purple cats, blue moons, and pink pumpkins--we must be reading a little too much pinkalicious around here.
As for me, I'm feeling like I'm in a little valley at the moment. I've been working a ton over this last month, way more than I'd like to be. I have learned a lot since I've started working, mainly, how much I LIKE being home with my kids, and providing a loving home. I realize how much I could actually get done, though at the time it didn't feel that way. Now I feel like I'm constantly juggling work, and my life as a mom and wife. I have a different perception on working moms now, and I tip my hat to those of you who choose to do both. I'm still not sure if I'm cut out to be away from my family, and will give it a little more time before I decide. I was ready for a balance, and break from mommyville, but not desiring it as much now. Time will tell, I'm waiting on the Lords answer for this one. It would be a no brainer if I didn't like my job, but I'm really having a lot of fun, and meeting some pretty amazing folks along the way.
Can't believe we only have a couple more days left in October!
Happy Halloween, BE SAFE!

What a bunch of cuties! We made some sugar cookies last night too, it was pretty entertaining. Good color choices Liv-I bet they were tasty...and aren't those "princess pumpkins" a little pink, anyway? =)

This time of year is hard. There are so many "family tradition/american traditions" that happen at this time and you don't want to miss them. I feel this is the time of year we are "required" to have family time ie carving pumpkins, going to the pumpkin patch, Thanksgiving.... It is the time of year when our family becomes so much closer. There are times when I too would want to return to work and then I think this time is short I can work when they are both in school. Take care. HAPPY HALLOWEEN. Love the pictures by the way.-Tracy
Hi Kelli!
The little ones are growing so much since I last saw them! (it's almost been 8mos!!) Olivia looks like a little lady and Nolan is such a cutie with his blonde hair. I'm really looking forward to coming out there and spending time with you guys. I wish often we lived in the same state. Tell Shane and Olivia I said hello.
See you soon!
Love Tabby
