Oh! and One More Thing....

It's here!!!!  My favorite time of year...autumn!  I love, love, love this season!  I love that the sun still shines, but you have to bundle up a little when you go outside.  I love the mornings, when you can see your breath a little and the smell is crisp and clean because the chill of the air has taken away all scents but that of fresh fall.  I love the changing colors, and the leaves that fall from trees.  And I love views like these, looking out into my backyard as the sun is setting.

Soon I will be decorating the house for Halloween (my second favorite holiday! And yes, I know that Halloween is still 48 days away - I don't care!)  And as my house gets transformed into a spooky fall haven, it brings the anticipated excitement of family gatherings, taking my Love Bug trick or treating, and just around the corner is Christmas! And I am completely unashamed to admit that, yes, I am one of those people that listens to Christmas music starting November 1st! (Roll your eyes, go ahead, I don't care!)

And even though, the weather is chilling, the sun does still shine!  And when I entered my kitchen the other day, I was greeted with this sight...

Gotta love my girl's aversion to the sun in her eyes.  It's probably one of her top three annoyances.  But there is nothing wrong with eating breakfast with sunglasses on...in fact - this was her own solution to the problem.  She went into her play room and dug these bad boys out!  And nothing says creative genius like hot pink cat sunglasses!  Rock on sister!

Oh! and one more thing....

Check out Carly's new shirt!

It's pretty early still, but the stick definitely had two lines on it!  I go to my first doctor's appointment on Sept. 27th!  And if all goes well (which I am praying for) and my calculations are correct, our new little Berry addition will be here in May sometime!!

I am determined to enjoy this pregnancy (penguin waddle and all) and find delight in every moment! As Chris is set that two littles are enough for us (I would be fine with one more, I think), I want to savor each moment during this time - just in case it is the last!  Sooo...bring on the morning sickness, extreme tiredness, expanding waist-line, and loss of bladder control!  And let the countdown begin until Baby Berry 2's arrival!

Love is good.  And it brings good with it!
