Day 11 - Thankful for the turn to cold weather!

BBBBBbbbbbrrrrrrr.....It is COLD in Albuquerque today! Thankful that it is actually cool enough to think about the holidays coming, snuggling in warm blankies with Jonathan and Declan, bundling Declan up in his super cute hats and outfits, petting our dogs with their cool fur, drinking tea, wearing boots, changing the decor in the house, changing the duvet on our bed to the "winter one." Thankful that daylight savings is here so if we feel like going to bed when Declan goes to bed...at 6:45pm. It is dark, so it is ok...right?!?!?! Thankful that my husband can rock his uniform of a tank top and a down vest with either jeans or cargo shorts when its below 40 degrees outside. Thankful that maybe now Declan and I don't have to sweat when we run errands because my air conditioner on my car went out. Thankful because we are in the middle of my favorite time of the year, October - December!
This time last year I was pregnant with Declan and dreaming of all of the family traditions we would keep and start with our growing family! Fabulous to be living those dreams. So very blessed and thankful.
Other things to be thankful for today: We moved back in to our house. Still dusty and not put back together, but its liveable. Thankful for all of Jonathan's quick thinking and cleaning skills to get it to this state. Thankful that Aunt Kaiti was able to FaceTime with Declan as he ate his lunch today. It may have been quick but we miss her so much. Love you Kaiti! Thankful we got to spend time today with my dad, Kelly, Ryan, Benjamin and Christopher. Also with my brother Ryan and Melissa. We always have such a great time playing and laughing!
Also extremely GRATEFUL for my A.M.A.Z.I.N.G mom, who just let us move in there and make ourselves at home the last few days. Made what could have been an awful experience into a tolerable one. THANK YOU!

I have to add some hilarious photos from our Halloween escapades. These photos make me laugh out loud so I hope they give you a good giggle!

80's prom hair Auntie Melissa and the lil pumpkin!

This is how we greeted the trick or treaters on Halloween!

Uncle Ryan and Auntie Melissa and Stella Kitty! Declan LOVES her!

Guess who in the green sweatshirt...Jonathan dressed up as Ryan!

Love and Laughter and Lots to be thankful for,
