Weekly Wrap Up! :)

Family nature walks in the crisp Fall weather

Making chalk drawings for Daddy on the last dry, sunny days before Winter!

Too much fun with Photobooth (clearly too much downtime)

 Beautiful fall colors and scenes in our neighborhood

 The last bits of my herb garden: parsley, basil & sage

Pumpkin Carrot Spice Cupcakes w/Cream Cheese Frosting & Cinnamon-Sugar Sprinkles (adapted from this recipe here!)

Playdate & Fall Wreath Craft with a dear friend (My first Pinspired Creation!)

{17} Months

I don't want to start with the usual…"OMG where has the time gone?"…line.  Nope, not going to reflect right now on how fast the last 17 months have zipped by.  I don't want to think about how in just a month you will be 1 & 1/2 or how just 6 months ago you devoured your first cupcake as family and friends celebrated your very first birthday, nope, not going to think on those things.  Instead, I just want to thank you, Zion, for teaching me how to live each moment in the present.

Here you are, my precious, beautiful, funny little girl, making each day more bright, more joyous and more adventurous than I could have ever imagined possible.  There are so many things that you have both Mama & Dada in awe about you: your ever increasing vocabulary, your depth, your spirited nature, your infectious giggle, your determination and will…I can go on and on, and I do.  You are just simply a wonder of creation, in our eyes and in your heavenly Father's eyes as well. 

We are blessed to have been chosen by God to be stewards over your young life, you are our little cupcake treasure.  

Love,

Mama

Weekly Wrap Up

We had a great week!  1. Visited the WTC Site to see the progress, didn't arrange passes in advance so we didn't get into the reflecting pools.  2.  Funny story: after apple picking, Zion just helped herself to an apple off the table…I hear this chomp, chomp and there she is eating an apple like no big deal.  And did you see those pigtail/pom-poms…what is cuter than that really!? 3.  Sleeping beauty…sleep…how you elude me so! 4.  We caught a glimpse of the Occupation…while I am angry at the choices that have brought financial ruin on our country…this post here explains why I am grateful to be the 99%!!!
