Its beginning to look a lot like... Fall.

The past few weeks have been absolutely crazy. My father-in-law came to stay with us for a week, surprising my husband on his 26th birthday. Old man, haha. He left on Halloween, and I had the most adorable little Mario (Tripp) and calf (Easton) to take out trick-or-treating. James thinks they are too young to take out door-to-door, so we did a Trunk or Treat and called it a night. Halloween day, Easton had an evaluation for Speech. It turns out he is in the 85% percentile for his age in speaking, but they went ahead and referred him for 16 visits anyways. He started last week, went twice, and really did very well! I don't know what they do with him in the back room, but I can already see he is trying to say more words! He is being very communicative, too. On Thursday, he will be 2 years old. I won't lie, his birthday snuck up on me. I didn't plan a party, get a cake, or even begin shopping for birthday presents. I feel like a horrible mother. It just seems like we had Tripp's birthday! I guess its because there hasn't been TOO drastic of a weather change here. So this week, I will be working on getting all of that together. And, to wrap up this short and sweet post, I say, thank you. Yesterday was Veterans Day, a very important day in our country's history. Thank you to all the troops who've served in the past, currently those in the past, and all those who've fallen.
