The Beach and Halloween Party

We went to Manzanita last weekend! It was a beautiful sunny day on Sunday and if I could, I would pack my bags and move there today! Addie loved loved loved walking along the coast in her rain boots, wading in the tides, and collecting seashells- she was so worn out that she slept really good and was always pretty darn happy!

Today we went to a Halloween Party for children, and Addie was dressed as a Fall Fairy, or a Pumpkin Princess, or whatever you to call it! She was very cute and had a lot of fun chasing around the kids!

Week 30 of Pregnancy

Feeling bittersweet about my countdown....only 10 weeks left of being pregnant- and possibly for the last time ever. It's funny, because if you asked me during my first trimester, I would have told you I hated being pregnant- all day sickness, tired and cranky. But 2nd and 3rd trimester have been so nice- getting to feel the baby kick, the excitement of the unknown (boy or girl, will it have redhair, who will it look like, etc.) and just the amazing opportunity of creating a new member of our family! I hope I can move on from this feeling of wanting one more baby! I guess if we win the lottery or I find an amazing work from home gig, then it could be a possibility!?

So, I guess who knows what the future holds, but I will fully appreciate this little one growing inside me and look forward to the moment when our eyes first meet!

Addie's 18th Month Photo Shoot

We are actually a bit behind for Addie's 18th month photo's, but here they are finally! She was such a good sport, I think she really likes taking pictures, not to mention, Picture People did a great job harnessing the smiles! We will most likely be ordering more for xmas presents, as well as our Holiday Card! This will be our first Holiday Picture Greeting Card, how exciting!!

Addie loves to shop till she drops

I took Addie for a bit of shopping today- we needed a few things from an arts and crafts store, and a home improvement store. My little shopper girl wanted to keep on going, so we headed over to the kids toys store, Toys R Us. It was like a toddler's and a parents dream, because Addie was able to play with several toys without having to buy them! She was really good and I managed to come out of the store only $8 poorer! Her choice toy, turned out to be a pair of shoes and some candy. She is such a fashionista, at the early age of 1.5! What am I going to do.......

Here is Addie after the shopping trip
