Enjoying the small things

Sorry for the crickets around here, this fall has been so much fun and so busy. We haven't done anything too major, just busy with everyday life. After attending two funerals in two days this past May (one for my amazing uncle and one for my friend's precious 3 year old daughter), I knew I wanted to savor the small everyday moments as much as the big ones. Life is short and there are no guarantees so make the most of everyday. So, that is exactly what we are doing, enjoying the small things...

Like sisterly love. These two could not adore each other more and it makes my heart melt.

 Catching up with old friends. We all met and worked together at Bank of America and now we are all in different places and doing different things but getting together for lunch and catching up was such a treat.

 Attending fall festivals with good friends

 and someone wanting to come home with a pony!

 Cuddling and reading books with daddy after bath time.

 Two cuties before heading to school and pigtails, I can't even handle the cuteness!

 Wearing daddy's tennis shoes!

 Warm afternoons spent at the park.

 Loving on her puppy, who she refers to as "kota"

Perfect fall weather and a Panthers win, nothing could be better.

 Climbing trees after tennis lessons and she loves tennis lessons! Score for Mommy and Daddy!

 Spending the weekend in Atlanta celebrating DeeDee's birthday and just happens that Frozen on Ice was in Atlanta that weekend.

 Two little girls very excited to head to see their idols, Elsa and Anna!

 And guess who fell asleep at the end of the show. Too much fun and partying!

 Celebrating my mom with a fun night out with my parents and Court and Laura.

 Scarecrow heaven! My parents little hometown had this great scarecrow display with tons of different scarecrows. They were pretty amazing and girls loved seeing them.

 First father/daughter "camping" trip. They planned all week on actually camping and sleeping in the tent but when the low was going to be around 40 degrees, they decided to go for the day and then head home late. Ella had the best time with one of her besties Caroline!

 They even had trick or treating. Elsa and Sleeping Beauty were ready to rack up some candy!

 And no camping trip is complete without a smore. They had the best time and I am so glad they are making memories together.

 And lucky me got to stay home and do this all weekend. Potty training! We tried this summer and she was not ready but this time around seems to have worked so much better. Knock on wood but I am hoping it sticks this time.

So, that's life right now! Nothing too exciting but we are definitely loving life with our two little princesses and we are truly cherishing each day. Every day is a gift and yes of course some days are challenging and hard and some are easier and more fun but we wouldn't change a thing!
