Excitement

We have had all sorts of exciting things happening here in the Jones household...

The baby girl took her first flight and was amazing!

We are selling our house.

I am in the middle of making the baby girl’s Halloween costume and think it is adorable so far.  I love it when projects meet your expectations.

The baby girl experience her first fall with colorful leaves, cold weather, and everything that goes with it.  She thought the best part was trying to eat the leaves.  (When does the everything goes in the mouth stage end?)

I found the best recipe for pumpkin bread and have made it three times since the beginning of October.  I think the boy is tired of it already and it’s not even November.

On October 26th it will be 60 days till Christmas and yes, I have started shopping.  I just can’t help myself.

The baby girl is walking on her own!

There might be more, not sure, I am still a little off from the trip…

Better...

than any walker you can buy in a store, or at least the baby girl thinks so!
