cozy for fall...

 

As fall quickly approaches, we added a few warm touches to the living room to cozy up the place a bit.  A new candle, woven blanket, etc.  To be honest, we don't use the room much so it stays cleaner and nicer than our other rooms in the house :)

 

 

Hope you are all having a warm and wonderful autumn wherever you may be :)

Vegas, baby....

Jeremiah and I took a quick trip to Vegas from Sunday - Thursday.  J has never been to Vegas so we decided to get a way for a little bit in the fun and sun.  Buckle down for some Vegas pictures:

We had a great time and this was the most we have ever been away from the kiddos.  They had fun.  We had fun.  They are exhausted.  We feel very well-rested with a lot of naps, food, and entertainment.

Hope you all had a great week!

Hi all!  It's been a crazy few weeks so sorry on post delays.  This week we had the fun-run at school, a house-warming party for some wonderful friends, trips to pumpkin patches, and a fun trip to a little local zoo.  Work has been nuts for me too and we've all been feeling a little under the weather.  Luckily, in 1 week Jeremiah and I will be soaking up the sun in Las Vegas.  Vegas is on Jeremiah's 'bucket list' so we decided to get that crossed off the list by the end of the year.  We are excited for some days away and we happen to be there on our 9 year wedding anniversary.  So, you probably won't see any posts for the next 2 weeks.  See y'all on the flip side!  Have a great few weeks!!
