Fall is here ...

Although I miss Florida, the leaves changing here in the fall are amazing! We headed up to Lake Allatoona, http://www.lakeallatoona.com/ which is only about 30 minutes North of us. It was beautiful but I think we missed the really vibrant colors by about 2 weeks ... we still had fun hiking and being in nature on a beautiful sunny day!

First Pedicure!

When Rob had to go out of town for a week, Riley and I had some "girl time" ... Sunny got her first pedicure! It was really just a soak and polish but she loved it!

Riley loves to read!

Every three weeks we go the the Smyrna library after school and check out new books. Our bedtime routine involves reading 5 books before bed. Some I have to read five times but we have gotten bed time down to about a 20 minute ordeal. Finally! This frog is outside the library and Sunny always likes to say hi to him everytime.

Our Little Princess on Halloween

Sunny knew in August (after our trip to Disney) that she wanted to be a princess for Halloween. She was lucky enough to wear her princess costume to our Moms Club fall party, to her school party and then to trick-or-treat. We met up with Andy (the biker) and Garrett (the doctor). All night Sunny told everyone she met, "I am a princess". When the boys were getting rowdy, she would say, "Be careful for me; I'm a princess". Robbie Reno was out for Halloween too.

Disney on Ice

We were given tickets to see Disney on Ice. Sunny fell asleep on the way but woke up just in time to get a 'very magic wand' and see Cars, The Lion King, Ariel and Tinkerbell.

Pumpkin Patch

Although Sunny refused to pose for any pictures, with the help of my mom, we were able to get a few. Sunny's best friend, Andy went too. This year Sunny wants to carve flowers and leaves into the pumpkin, like on the front of the Southern Living magazine. Great, that should be easy, right?!?! Also, this had to be the windiest day on record, hence the hair flying everywhere.

It must be in the Water ...

It would not be ridiculous to say that I currently have more friends pregnant than not. For instance, Patty is due Oct. 24, Kristin is due Nov. 8, Dayna is due Nov. 9, Christi is due Dec. 8, I am due Dec. 27, Heather and Ashley are due in January and Kristi is due in Feb. That's a lot of hormones flying around! Here is a pic of the two due just before me, Kristin and Christi.

Amber finished the Breast Cancer Walk!

I was able to raise $1,425 for the Atlanta 2 Day! I was able to walk all 30 miles and only got a small blister on the bottom of my foot. I told Rob that this was my last walk ... after 3 walks and a marathon for breast cancer, I am going to take some time off. He said, 'Yeah right, that's what you said last year'. Once again it was a wonderful and emotional experience and it reminded me to thank God on a daily basis that my family and friends have their health. It really is the most important thing in life.

We have tomatoes!

I thought we would never have edible tomatoes this year! We've had fried green tomatoes a few times and finally we are getting red ones. Sunny's loves to pick (and eat) the RED cherry tomatoes ... she says, 'We only pick the red ones mommy'.

With the L'Amie's

We spent a couple days with my family after we visited the Stephan's. We were able to see Poppie a few times as well as my dad, Grant and Gabrielle.
We went to the Alligator Farm with my mom and then to Disney with Crystal, Mom and Aunt Sally. The Snow White ride was the very first place we went and it scared Sunny so much that she actually bit her finger (through the skin). We tried the Pooh ride after that and she was still too traumatized. The rest of the day we stuck to shows and parades. She was the hit of the Tiki Bird show as she got up and danced in front of everyone while the birds sang.

Made it to FL!

We made the last trip down to FL until after the new baby comes. Here are some pics with Oma and Opa and the wildlife sanctuary they feed. Ha! Lilo loves being at Oma's too becasue she gets LOTS of snacks! Riley just figured out yesterday that Oma is her daddy's Mom and Opa is her daddy's Dad.

Painting Sunny's new room!
