Fall Fun!

Anyone who knows me, knows I am OBSESSED with the season of Fall. I would much prefer sweatshirt and jeans weather to a swimsuit or snow suit any day! The leaves are beautiful, the food is delicious, and everything is just delightfully cozy. This weekend we made the effort to show Vinnie Fall in all its greatness (despite the summer-like weather) by taking a trip out to the Wilson Apple Orchard in Iowa City. We opted out of picking our own apples, maybe next year, but enjoyed apple turnovers and a few pictures.


I know I say this every entry...but Vinnie continues to grow and change and we continue to be amazed by his development. I say to Jon a lot lately that he just doesn't look like a newborn anymore...he has totally moved into that "infant" look. He continues to smile at everything and is very close to giving us a giggle. His neck is getting so strong as well. After a feeding, it is almost impossible to get him to hangout for a burp...his head bops all over, looking at all his surroundings. He is settling into daycare, and we are all settling into our new normal of work/daycare during the day and squeezing all our family time into nights and weekends. We are also trying to create as much "routine" as possible with this new normal.

It is Sunday night and I am trying to brace myself for another week. I have come to just hate Mondays, it is just so much harder to go back to work after dropping Vinnie off at daycare. Laundry must be finished, lunches must be made, and someone needs to eat one last time before going to bed. Such a sweet life we live with our little Vinnie!

...until next week
