harvest

i'm getting my craft on over here.  when hazel naps i explode with creative energy.  it can be pretty scary.  today i think i will put down the sand paper and paint brushes and turn on the oven.  this cooler weather has got me craving pumpkin cookies.  david will be so excited when he gets home.  what is your favorite fall food? 

on walking

most days i try to go on two walks.  one in the morning with just hazel and i, and another in the evening with david.  these walks are my favorite part of the day for many reasons.  when i was pregnant i was so sick, so tired and sore i didn't feel like doing anything.  now that hazel is here (although i am still tired and sore) i feel like doing so much more.  i love walking through our cute little neighborhood in our cute little town.  i love that we live somewhere where i actually feel safe enough to go out walking.  i love that almost every time we are out walking we see (and usually talk to) someone we know.  i love that when david is with us he will have one hand pushing the stroller and the other hand holding mine.  what is your favorite part of the day?

david turns 27

yesterday was david's 27th birthday. we celebrated with pizza on the grill, root beer and homemade cheesecake followed by play time on his new wii (pawn shop- $50, that's how we do it!). happy birthday dave!
