[Pumpkin Patch]

The day started kind of gloomy & overcast and Charlotte was not feeling the nap situation at home so we ended up having her take her nap in the car on the way to the pumpkin patch.  Not ideal, but better than nothing.  I was nervous because as we pulled out of the driveway, the rain started.  Luckily, it was only cold & windy on the farm, no rain.  The sun even made a brief appearance at the end of our visit.  It was a great day & I am so glad we met up with my parents!  This was a new location for us, but I could absolutely see us returning in the coming years.  It's an awesome place for kids!

Sorry not sorry for the amount of pictures; I took 117 pictures and have not posted NEARLY that many here, so really, you're welcome is more appropriate than an apology ;)  I feel like I waited my whole life to have a tiny human at the pumpkin patch (she was too tiny last fall to get anything out of it and we were Chicagoans at that point so a pumpkin patch was really more like a gathering of pumpkins in the grocery store parking lot).  There are so many little things that make me so very happy as we do them as a family of three.  Wait'l Christmas!

Charlotte is all about trains lately; her school is by the tracks and she gets to hear/see the train all day.

I'm not sure whom was more into whom in this scenario!


In the teepee w/ Grandpa & Mama

Her big thing right now is holding people's hands while she walks; she doesn't need us, she wants us.
And I love that.


Getting ready to go down the slide!

It went so fast!  I was surprised!

Time for snacks



2015 Group Shot


Such a happy girl; she was up on the trailer, surrounded by pumpkins


This one is just right :)






After the pumpkin patch, we went to my parents to visit and have dinner.  We left around 7:30 as Charlotte really hadn't taken an afternoon nap & we..... don't need an angry toddler.  She crashed in the car before we even left town & slept the entire hour car ride.  We got the bedtime diaper on & I snuggled that baby to sleep.  I'm hopeful for a good night of sleep, she hasn't slept through the night in at least a month.  *Fingers crossed*

Happy Fall, Ya'll.  We are making great progress on our bucket list for fall & I am getting SUPER excited for some of the remaining activities!

So far, we've been to the pumpkin patch & made our pumpkin bread... 

Enjoy the weekend, friends.  This weather has been perfect for my fall favorites & I'm trying to savor it as winter will be here in no time!  :)

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool.  Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures!  I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut.  I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel.  Check out the website here  and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way!  Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite.  So I'm not going to.  But you can!  :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive!  I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives.  And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...

I suppose this kid's gonna need somewhere to sleep...

As an avid blog stalker reader, I have been following several stories of other families who have struggled with infertility and am actually just days separated from Liz & her hubby at Wishing on a Snowflak e who adopted embryos and actually had her transfer the same week I did and we both got positive results. I read her blog today and saw the amazing nursery they're putting together for their daughter and I realized something kind of important... Holy shit. This kid is going to need somewhere to sleep.   And we're already almost 14 weeks deep. I suspect it's much like the wedding.  I was never really the girl who dreamed about her wedding day in great detail.  I was too busy hoping to find the right person, the details didn't matter.  I feel like I've been so busy wishing, hoping, praying, stabbing myself with needles, etc to give this some real deep thought.  Remember when we moved in to our apartment and Porch was all like " We could raise some...
