Where did October go?

Wow! Does anyone else feel like the month just flew by? We started out the month visiting with friends in Atlanta. I co-hosted a baby shower for my friend who I mentioned in the last post. Since that post, due to pregnancy complications, she gave birth to two beautiful girls. They are doing well and growing stronger each day. I’m thankful for their safe arrival.

I had a chance to celebrate JVC’s birthday although it was a month late. We enjoyed a day of hanging out, Sprinkles cupcakes, & sushi at our favorite neighborhood place. Happy Birthday JVC! We love you!!IMG_1811

Barry got an awesome discount on Stanford football season tickets this year because of his relationship to the University. We decided this would be splurge for us and get them. We’ve loved cheering on the Stanford Cardinal (no “s” as I have learned and it’s a tree not a bird, apparently). It’s been fun and there are three big games left to see at home: Oregon, CAL, and Notre Dame. We’re seeing teams we’ve never seen play before!IMG_1646

This week, we decided to carve our pumpkin (cutting it close!). Our almost two year old neighbor came over to help! He’s such a cutie and I’m going to take him door-to-door tonight. It’s his first American Halloween!!

My Ugly Duckling…

Turns 26 TODAY! 

Yep, my wonderful sister is a Halloween baby. For years, I told people that my sister’s arrival kept me from going trick or treating the day she was born. My parents corrected the story when I was older enough to understand. Apparently, I DID get to go trick or treating and after I went to bed (I was only 3 1/2… it was an early bedtime), she decided to make her appearance. All I remember is waking up between my Ma & Pa the next morning. They were the first to announce that I had a new baby sister. 

Ugly Duckling was the name that I had picked out for my sister. It was my favorite book & was convinced it was the perfect name for my new sibling. Every time someone asked what I would name my new sister, I would reply, “Ugly Duckling”. 

 

Well, Happy Birthday to My Ugly Duckling… who has always been the beautiful Swan!

a wonderful sister, friend, listener who is talented, creative, & successful… 

I’m so lucky to have you as my sister….  Happy Birthday Morgan!
