Becoming Four...: Fall Fun 2013

Welcome to my blog!

Hello and thanks for stopping by! I'm a mama to my two sweet kiddos, Adalyn who is 2 and my new baby boy Mason. I started blogging after Adalyn was born as a way to write down memories for her to be able to look back at and ended up printing my first year's blog into a book so my babies have their childhood memories documented forever. By day, I'm a physical therapist. By night and weekend, I'm a loving wife to my husband Scott and a totally in love mama to my dear babies and the center of my world, Adalyn Rose and Mason Scott, along with our two furbabies. When I found out I was pregnant I knew I would "try" breastfeeding. Now that they are here, I'm a breastfeeding, babywearing, extended rearfacing, part-time co-sleeping, babyfood making, constantly researching mama. Some people call it crunchy... I call it living better for them... A little at a time! And this is our story...

Fall Fun 2013

I am so behind on blogging it's just flat out sad. Let's rewind a few months (actually an entire season) and get back to the lovely crisp autumn air and changing leaves. Gosh how I would love to be in that right now! Right now we are knee deep in winter and ready for some nicer weather...

Anyway. Fall. Leaves. Pumpkins. FUN!

Knoebel's 2013
We had our yearly trip to Knoebel's in October and it was a perfect day. The weather was amazing. The kids were great. Mason went on his first solo rides (well, with big sister by his side) and we had lots of yummy food too!

Look at his little hand on her knee. Too much cuteness!

Roba's 2013

Our third year of an annual trip to Roba's Family Farm. This place is amazing and we always have so much fun that this year we convinced a whole group of our friends and their kiddos to join us! We rented a tent and a campfire to roast marshmallows and just enjoy some (COLD) fall weather together. The kids, although chilly, had an awesome day!

Trick-or-treat 2013

When Addy told me she wanted to be a "really really fluffy soft kitty cat" for Halloween I immediately knew what Mason would be to complement her! So I put Scott to work constructing and then I added some finishing paint touches and the costumes turned out perfectly, if I do say so myself. I love being able to make the kids' costumes every year and hope that it is a tradition that they allow me to continue as they grow each year!

I present to you... the cutest cat and mouse you ever did see.

And just a few photos from Adalyn's Preschool Halloween Parade...

Baltimore Zoo 2013

Daddy had to go away for a weekend for work and we were blessed with some unseasonably decent weather in early November and were lucky enough to share it with some of our best friends at the Baltimore zoo. It was a perfect day!! Adalyn was loving spending some quality time with her favorite girls and Mason was such a trooper with all the girls!
