October was a month full of celebrations and spooky activities! There were major milestones: we celebrated Granny’s 99th birthday, Sophie’s 30th birthday (at Tailleur!) and Dale’s 34th birthday. Grant and I walked to and from school as much as possible to enjoye all the Halloween decorations around the neighborhood, we made it to the pumpkin patch with the Hanlins, spent time at the zoo, I participated in a nutcracker workshop at work, and we had the BEST time at Indian Hill’s kids Halloween party. On the 30th we once again carved pumpkins at EB & GPa’s house after a spooky themed dinner. Grant picked out a sad pumpkin face this year (which Dale did an amazing job carving) and Sophie and I enjoyed dressing the boys in matching pumpkin shirts. Happy Halloween!
September Memories
September was a big month! We started the month with the VERY exciting news that we were expecting baby #2! After that the rest of September included watching a KU game with friends, Adeleinn’s 2nd birthday party, time at Humanette, celebrating Baby Joyce, and attending KC’s AIGA A20. The month ended with a special weekend in Lawrence for the Chi O House’s 100th birthday and a mini Chi-O reunion weekend! It was so special to spend the month with so many wonderful friends!
August Memories
August was full of sweet end-of-Summer memories! The month of course began with Winnie’s First Birthday festivities, and we had lots more fun cousin time visiting The Rabbit Hole and Grant got to spend time with Aunt Sophie on his school break. They went to the Thomas the Train exhibit at Crown Center and visited me at work! We also spent time at the zoo, hang out with the Hanlins, enjoyed the pool, and celebrated Grant’s first day of school in the Twos room! Here’s to Fall!
Winnie’s First Birthday!
Last weekend we celebrated my nephew Winston’s 1st birthday with a very fitting Winnie the Pooh themed party! Sophie made the most adorable beehive cake and Winnie loved his smash cake, too. Happy birthday, Winston! We love you!
Toddler Truck Room
In April we moved into a new home and I’ve been excited to start designing Grant’s toddler room! While he is still sleeping in his crib in the nursery, I know we will want to move him to a new room at some point. He’s obsessed with trucks and construction sites so I’ve been on the hunt for toddler truck themed decor that also goes along with the house. I can’t wait for things to start arriving!
Antibes, France
On July 4th we had to say goodbye to Provence and headed to the coast. The last night of our trip was spent at the Royal Antibes Hotel overlooking the water. We spent the day enjoying the beach and had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant Royal Beach. Walking through old town was a highlight and our after dinner ice cream was the perfect finale to our time in France. I’m so grateful for this special trip with our family and that Dale and I were able to make these memories with Grant.
