Day 306

We went for a ride on the local train this weekend to check out our lovely fall colors...and snow!!

Day 305

Our little skunk at her gymnastics Halloween parade!

 

Day 304 {Monday Me}

38 weeks and counting...

Day 303

Jack-o-lantern time...I did the Bert in the middle (but isn't the pumpkin diorama--to the left of Bert, just incredible--I had nothing to do with that!)

Day 302

How did we get 5" of snow on Oct. 29th? 

Day 301

Um, how in the world did this guy manage to get in our house??!!  At least he's super cute, but now we can't find him! :(

Day 300

How can you beat this view of the lovely fall foliage??  I have to say, fall has become one of my favorite seasons.

Days 289-299

So, I have to say, that being less than three weeks away has not only made my brain go to mush...but it's also worn me out!  We're super excited to meet and greet the new baby...and I'll just use that as an excuse for being so tardy in posting pictures.  To be honest, there were days I didn't even pick up my camera...here's to 11 random pictures that I've taken over the last week and a half.

Face painting with Mommy on a windy, blustery Saturday!

Day 287

I've been into silk flowers and decor lately...darn you Joann Fabric and being so cute!  ;)

(1/100s; f/3.5; ISO: 1600; focal length: kit lens--18mm)

Day 286

This is why I've fallen behind on posting pictures...I've been consumed with a Halloween costume!

(1/100s; f/3.5; ISO: 1600; focal length: kit lens--18mm)

Day 285

This is what my hands looked like after a manicure from my little miss!!

(1/100s; f/4.5; ISO: 1600; focal length: kit lens--42.5mm)

Day 284

She's so silly!

Day 283

It's raining leaves!!  Fall is in the air!

(1/1250s; f/4; ISO: 400; focal length: kit lens--24.4mm)

Day 281 and 282

No picture from yesterday, so you get two from today...we went for a hike at Valley Forge (one of our favorite spots around here).  Just love the history--and covered bridges!

(1/500s; f/4; ISO: 400; focal length: kit lens--28.1mm)

Our dog, doing what he does best--go swimming!

(1/160s; f/5.6; ISO: 400; focal length: kit lens--50mm)

Day 280

I've realized, on days when I actually pick up my camera (and take it with me) before 9pm at night...I can manage to get a few pictures I think are pretty cute!  I should try this more often!!

(1/640s; f/3.5; ISO: 200; focal length: kit lens--18mm)

Day 279

Parks are so much fun when the weather is gorgeous!

Day 278

We went on a hospital tour tonight (since we weren't even living in this state when our daughter was born).  It made the whole process seem a lot more palpable...not that having the baby punch me in the sides isn't palpable--but wandering through hospital wings and examining the labor/delivery rooms just puts the date so much closer!  Luckily, the diapers are washed.

(1/80s; f/5; ISO: 6400; focal length: kit lens--32.5mm)

Day 277

We ordered some shirts to help support those families who lost their homes and worldly belongings during the central Texas wildfires.  They just came in...and I'm still cracking up at this phrase (am I the only one who's never really heard this used before??!!)

Day 276 {Monday Me}

Week 34...with my little, anxious, onlooker!

(taken with Daddy's point-and-shoot)

Day 275

Who can resist brownie mix?  I know I can't...she must be my daughter!

(1/100s; f/4; ISO: 6400; focal length: kit lens--20mm)

Day 274

Gettin' pumped up (literally) before the big game...she even wore her burnt orange to bed tonight! ;)

(1/80s; f/4; ISO: 3200; focal length: kit lens--18mm)

Day 273

Someone got ahold of my camera today.  At least she's got decent aim...most of the time. 

(1/200s; f/4.0; ISO: 200; focal length: kit lens--18mm)

Day 272

Checking out the Moby wrap with her baby...in high heels.  Not sure I'll be sporting the heels, but the moby looks pretty neat!

(1/125s; f/4; ISO: 3200; focal length: kit lens--21.3mm)

Day 271

It's BAAAACCCCKKKK!!!!  I'm so happy, I don't even care about the grain in this high ISO!  Also, wanted to say that I'm sorry I've been so sporadic with my commenting on all your blogs.  I appreciate your support and I will do my best to get back in the swing of things!

(1/125s; f/4; ISO: 3200; focal length: kit lens--30.6mm)

Day 270

Here's a Tuesday Me since I missed out yesterday.  We're just over 33 weeks...time is flying by!!

Day 269

People watching, watching art in the train station...

Day 268

My stars and stripes girl...she picked the outfit all by herself!

Day 267

Just a little Saturday project.  JoAnn Fabric has a way of sucking me in every time...that's why I try and stay out of that store! ;)  (it's a neck pillow for Siena)

Day 266

We took Siena to see Lion King (the 2D version) on a rainy Friday night.  Little did we know that when we pulled into our driveway, we'd run into a huge branch that had fallen during the storm.  Luckily no one was near and it was at the bottom of our driveway, no where close to the house.  The trees around here are ruthless!

Day 265

Showing off her new hat and coat for winter.  It seems like it's just around the corner!

Day 264

Is it bad that I now use my daughter as an excuse to get gumballs again?  Granted, I don't do it all the time, but every now and then giving into your childhood urges is good for you, right??!!

Day 263

I love this girl!

Day 262 {Monday Me}

Feeling a little under the weather lately so this is often my view...kleenex and a growing belly!

Day 261

Daddy makes the BEST rice krispie treats!!

Day 260

This little girl had so much fun dancing at this wedding!  I couldn't keep up! ;)

Day 259

So, I called Pentax to check on my camera...looks like it won't be done until early October.  UGH!!  I can't wait to get it back!

Day 258

Success...we now have fish that have survived over a week in our salt-water tank.  No more explaining, 'oh, that fish got sick, honey'!!
