October!

I am the worst blog writer ever. If I am this bad right now, I can't imagine how bad I will be once baby arrives hahahah. Lots has happened lately! It is now already October!!
-We are loving the changing weather and snuggling up under our down comforter at night.
-Our favorite show (Parenthood) is finally back on!
-I get to start making yummy soups and chilis again! I am going to buy pumpkins at Winco today (only 18 cents a lb.) and roast it to make into a pumpkin soup mmmm and of course I have to roast the seeds :)
-We get to go watch our niece, nephew, and sister play soccer and volleyball games!
-We went to a corn maze last night with the Parisens- it was really fun, but we could only find 4 out of 5 punches hahah no prize for us.
-I am now 4 months pregnant and I have a baby bump! We are going to find out the gender in a little less than 2 weeks eeeek!
-We are raising 2 baby chicks for our mothering hen, Pauline.  She is sooo good with them and it is adorable.  They sleep under her butt to stay warm and she protects them from Henrietta.  We are hoping they are both hens so we will get lots and lots of eggs, but they might be roosters...
-We are leading our own small group this season and so far it is going alright... we are going through Experiencing God again, so it is a little boring, but we have great group members. We served at the Oregon Food Bank this week and it was really fun and we are having a harvest party in place of group in a few weeks where we will get to carve pumpkins, etc. so we are really enjoying the people!
-Work is slowing down for the season- you are still working a bit this month, but with the rain you got all of last weekend off! I had the quarterly report this week, but other than this week, it has been a breeze lately!
-We went away to Tillamook for a little rainy weekend getaway. There were 100mph winds and we lost power for a few hours in an unfamiliar house with no candles or flashlights hahah ;)
-Today is Cece's 1st birthday!! She chose to cuddle with me this morning instead of sitting on the heater <3
-We have lots of projects (building Cece a fence, re-doing the floors in the nursery, finishing the sprinklers, oil changes, registering for baby products, etc.) to get done by end of winter, but are also finding time to just enjoy this slow season of life!

I love you soo much and am excited for you to get home from work this morning (you started at 5:45) so we can have a cup of coffee together. You are the most amazing man I know- you are hard working, always making me laugh, so sweet to me, you enjoy life to the fullest, you love me for me, and you love the Lord! I am so blessed to have you as my husband <3
