And if I stare too long, I'll probably break down and cry

Why not dress up twice on Halloween?

Rosie the Riveter by day, Axl Rose by night. Those tats look really authentic.

The Echerd's came Auburn themed. Katherine and Brett, the refs, Lilian the cheerleader, Hayes the football player, and George, Aubie. He wasn't feeling so well as seen my his lifeless body.

Happy Birthday hayes! (This is my embarrassed my mom is watching me sing this birthday song face)

Gluten free cupcake, yes please! Never thankful that others have food aversions, but thankful when
substitutions are available.
I've never gotten sad before about Dalton's allergies, I've just accepted them. It's just normal for him and he really doesn't know the difference.Today I did get sad for the first time. His class had thanksgiving cookies and everyone had one but him. I didn't know they were doing it so I hadn't packed a dessert substitution. He didn't say a word about it, so I should move on, too.

I promised

Here are some beautiful pictures from Mary (and a couple of unprofessionals from me) at Lindsey's shower. BTW, she had a boy! Terrariums, woodland animals, mushrooms, and gnomes galore. Her nursery is perfect. Wish I had pictures.

Let's have a woodlands/fairytale shower! I got it from a shop on Etsy.

I had way too much fun making this gnome house

A gnome had a friend over for dinner. He's a dwarf (this is much different from a gnome). 

Oh, it's too much.

Decor that doubles as a gift is always a bonus. Lindsey took home her cloud mobile,
"W", little animals, and a wreath you will not see in any of these pictures. Bummer.

These cupcakes! Sinclair did a fabulous job. Jack contributed by making
the fabulous log platters.

Katie Cowan, you are too much! Adorable. Our wooden farm table really worked for the shower.
It's got that much lived in look.

Favorite picture

I found this "Making TV Programs" children's book at McKays. Pretty perfect for Lindz.

The hostesses. We did not plan the green

Mary made these too-cute-for-words pins for Lindsey and the grandmothers

The new parents. You guys.
