The Big Six

In honor of celebrating SIX years of marriage yesterday on the SIXTH of August, here is a quick list of SIX things to recap the past two weeks where I unintentionally took a bloggy break.

1. Two weekends ago, our little family of 3 loaded up in the family station wagon and had a quick overnight trip in the country. Saturday mornings filled with biscuits n gravy, bacon, and good conversation over coffee are some of my favorite times. Not to mention, Amelia would swing on her grandparent's tree swing all day long if we'd let her.

2. Lucy's hair had basically tripled the size of her body over the past few weeks, so needless to say she was a happy girl when we finally took her for a trip to the groomer's. I would post a picture here of her freshly groomed self, but I didn't even bother to take a picture of her. Poor neglected Lucy.

3. Though it may not seem necessarily blog-worthy in your opinion, I personally feel it is important to note here that Amelia recently called me "Mom". Not Mommy. Not Mama. Just "Mom". Not cool, Amelia. NOT COOL. Let's slow down that growing up business right this second, missy.

4. The past few mornings have been down right brisk, and I don't know about you, but I am LOVING IT! The sooner fall gets here, the happier this pumpkin-hearted fall-loving girl will be. Give me chili, give me pumpkin everything, and give me Hocus Pocus!

5. Amelia is also loving the cooler weather because she is a big fan of the jacket. Before we leave the house, she always asks if she needs a jacket, so I was happy to tell her that yes we needed one the past two mornings. And funny story, she has worn this same little blue jean jacket since she was 9 months old! Perks of being a teeny little tot.

6. Chris and I hit our 6 year anniversary mark yesterday. I found this to be a special milestone for us, since it took Chris 6 years of friendship before finally asking me out on an official date. He is the Chandler to my Monica. The Ross to my Rachel. He's my lobster.  

And lucky for me, he has managed to put up with SIX years of endless Friends references and over-excitement over all things fall and pumpkin.

Happy Monday!
