First time for EVERYTHING.

Friday, October 18th was a first for me.
Friday was the first time EVER that I was a parent going on a field trip with my child! We went on a hayride and picked some pumpkins and had a great day! It was cold and cloudy but Annie's smile was melting my heart. It was a few hours of my life that made a million memories.

Sunday, October 20th
Another first for me.... I went to a baby shower. I don't remember the last time I was invited to a baby shower and actually went. I have always had excuses before. But, it went ok today. It was a happy time.

In between those 2 firsts - we went to Octoberfest. The sun was shining and there was laughter and giggles. I was with my beautiful mother and priceless daughter.

Counting my blessings!!!

It has been awhile since I did a blog post. My little super star is now 4 and in pre-school 3 days a week. She has gone from a toddler to a brave 4 year old who can do anything and everything! Our summer was packed with fun as we spent a lot of time outside. It ended with tears as we said good-bye to my sister and brother-in-law and their family as they moved back to Indonesia. Every day Annie talks about her cousins and asks me when they will come back. She misses them so much. Last week she got to spend some precious time with grammo and grampo in the Dells. I was able to be there for the last few days. It was so neat to see Annie going down the water slide and doing other "big girl things". Before heading home, we spent a little time at this petting farm and had a blast on the pedal-carts. 

Special time with family. 

Cherished memories!!
