OCTOBER

Helloooooo October! If October were a person, I would give her a huge bear hug, kiss both cheeks and probably end with a big smooch on the lips to tell her how happy I was to see her!! This is it. Now we talk days. We can do days. Drew and I were saying today now we focus on remaining calm. The past few weeks have been busy with family events which have been great for me as it passes the remaining time quickly but in all honesty it is hard to remain present. My mind so quickly drifts to all that lies ahead! So happy and fortunate though to be surrounded by supportive family and friends. I say that so often but I sure do mean it.
A couple of weeks ago my parents, Cole and I went to Kansas City to see Sarah and Wade. Saturday morning we went to the Kansas City zoo which of course Cole loved. Here he is dressed the part playing with gumballs in the front yard before we left.

It really felt like there was an elephant in the room....oh wait....look behind us... Yeah, yeah...dad joke. I know. :)

Saturday afternoon my Uncle Jim joined us and we went to the Kansas City Art Fair which was a blast.

 

Cole is all about music and dancing right now so he loved the live music everywhere. My mom also happened to see the Pottery Barn Kids on the plaza so we had to go in. Well, it just so happens that the week before Drew had found this hedge hog costume at Pottery Barn and said he thought that's what Cole needed to be. Of course as soon as I vocalized this story we had to buy it. Not to mention all of the women in the store (workers and non-workers included) were eating up the story that Cole's Dad was in Afghanistan and he picked this out...ya da ya da ya da. So long story short, it's in the bag! I think Drew chose it because it's camo and looks like a ghillie suit. :)

This past weekend, I went to Drew's cousin, Leanna's wedding in Springfield. Her husband is in the Air Force and they are stationed in New Jersey so it was great they could come in to celebrate the wedding vows they made last year. Was also a great excuse to head to Pete and Ashley's!

 B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Bride and Groom!

 Just missing Drew and Cole in this Harris Family Pic.

 

 

 Meanwhile, back at the ranch...(Isn't there a book like that?) My Dad was on a fishing trip for the weekend so my Mom had Cole to herself. They had a blast. Here he showing me how he drives the Kubota with Grannie Annie.

Missed this little bean but had a great weekend. Truly don't know how Drew does it.
