Someone posted today that we are 78 days from Christmas, and for some reason, this made me panic. I cannot believe we’re so close to the end of the year already! While I’m all for time-passing-quickly since it means we’re closer to meeting baby girl, I also feel very unprepared for the holiday season. We’ll be in a new house celebrating by then which seems hard to imagine (also not prepared to move!).
Last week brought about the beginning of October, so a visit to Cornelius Nursery for pumpkins was ‘necessary.’ We also visited the Houston Polo Club to see the horses (Isla got to feel one!), had a playdate with Iris at a nearby church with a great indoor play area, took announcement photos for the Nickolases, had three sets of family photos, ate family dinner with Ivana, Bob, Milly and Kristina on Friday (and again Sunday!), announced our new baby’s name (here!), celebrated Emi being pacifier free for a whole week (!!!), went to church at Bayou City Fellowship, and played with Amanda and Charlotte one day after school. Most days, I was at the new house twice a day for meetings with the carpenter, painter, builder, etc. It’s a crazy time in life, but very grateful for all of the changes happening.
Hope it’s feeling like fall wherever you are reading this! I cannot wait for cooler weather.
