Fall happenings

We've had an awesome and relatively laid back fall season!  Our weekends weren't too crazy with lots of baby planning and football thrown in.  I dressed up as a "mummy" with two monsters peeking out for the Martin Halloween party



with the most awesome Orange is the New Black crew

And a few days later, Abby came to the Martin Fall Festival :)

Abby LOVES stamps and stickers!  Here she is getting tatted up

We celebrated October birthdays at work.  I found the cutest ideas on Pinterest... a caramel apple bar and monster trail mix bar.

cute apples all ready for dipping and toppings

monster trail mix bar with so many cute ingredients

including some spider legs

and pumpkin seeds... and so many more!

10.24.14 - We were beyond excited when Annabeth and Jarrett facetimed us to share their good news - J asked and Annabeth said yes!  Finally, after over five years of dating, J decided it was the perfect time to ask Annabeth to spend the rest of her life with him.  We love Jarrett as a friend, a boyfriend/now fiance to Annabeth, and a soon-to-be brother-in-law.  We are so happy that Annabeth has found her happily ever after, and look forward to celebrating them in the year to come!

a complete fall-themed proposal!

Annabeth's pretty ring that looks perfect on her!

We spent a Saturday getting up the bajillions of acorns that have been peltering our house this fall.  We've had a bad acorn year in the past, but this far exceeded any bad year we've had in the past. 

acorns for days

And later that night we had the privelage of watching Jacob, while his momma went out for a little bit

 

Uncle Daniel feeding Jacob dinner... complete with Star Wars burp cloth :)

testing out our Double Snap 'N Go... insert additional carseat :)

 

TMA did an awesome commercial for Geico that featured NFL retired player, Ickey Woods, and his famous celebratory dance, the Ickey Shuffle.  He came and hung out for a little bit at the Agency... teaching everyone the Ickey Shuffle and taking pictures

the Ickey Shuffle

he rubbed my belly and asked me when I was due!  cool experience :)



 

A few days ago we celebrated Thanskgiving with our families.  It was a day filled with family, laughter, amazing food, and love.  At one point between Grandma Stella's and my sister's, Daniel stopped and said "remember this moment - because this time next year we will have two girls in the backseat!".  We have so very much to be thankful for.

On Friday, my sister, mom, and I shopped for our two Angels, and we watched the VT vs UVA game at Kelly's. 

 

hanging out with my girl... she was much more interested in Frozen than the Hokies



After the MISERABLE season we've had, we beat UVA in an exciting game :)  Beating UVA makes the sting of a horrible season just a little bit easier.

 

We are looking forward to this holiday season.  We are in the middle of decorating, planning out gifts, and preparing for our two beautiful girls :)
