Wrapping up September

I've decided that God created 1st birthday parties so that moms could get off the couch, wipe their "My baby's turning ONE!" tears from their cheeks, and realize that birthdays aren't so bad when you get to plan a party.

Kayleigh's first birthday party was a very special one, and I can't wait to share pictures with you and tell you more about it!

I also can't wait to tell you all about our special 1st birthday trip to the Aquarium.  We had a blast.  And ohmygoodness, our little girl loves fish.

And I don't have any pictures from the day, but I had a wonderful 26th birthday spending the day with my childhood friend Emily and enjoying Handsome Man's homemade fish tacos for dinner--and my faaaavorite new treat, pavlova for dessert!  It was a wonderful day :)

Sunday was also a special day for our family, as Jesse was officially called and installed as the Director of Christian Education at our new church.  It's been 4 years of praying and searching for the place God wanted us to be, and now we are happily at home in the church He called us to.  We are so thankful for His providence, and for this wonderful congregation's love and appreciation for my Handsome Man!  

September was a blessed, busy, wonderful month!

Looks like life should be settling down now, though, and I'm looking forward to catching you up this week!

Blessings!
