Hello there! I have just a few minutes to steal away so I thought I would say howdy. So much life gets packed in to each day, it’s so hard to cover it all in just a quick update. Top of mind at the moment though is my weepy-heart realization that last year today was my due date with Gussy! I can so easily drift back to that day as if it were yesterday. Expectant, excited, weary and wanting so much to meet our beautiful boy. I ended up having to wait two more days for his debut, but of course at the time it felt like 2 weeks (I’m sure you remember)!
It’s nice that Gus’s birthday is on a Saturday, and it happens to be Trick or Treating in our neighborhood, a built-in in party. Gus is going to be a puppy dog, just like his big brother Garrett was. I love hand-me-down family costumes! Twice the cuteness. Karolina is going to be Cinderella…our first Princess costume! We have wings and a halo and she was going to be our little angel, but once I saw the pretty princess dress (40% off) I just couldn’t resist. I’m trying to figure out if/how I can curl her hair? My mom used to use pink sponge rollers on my hair as a little girl so I’m hoping to find some and give it a try.
Finally, I have to throw in a quick plug for the new Bebo Norman album “Light of Distant Cities.” Bebo is one of my favorite CCM artists and a gifted songwriter, and the album is spectacular.
My early favorite is “At the End of Me.” I usually have to listen to the album a few times to really warm up to it, but there’s always a few songs that instantly catch hold. That one was an instant repeat, and also “Collide.” A sentimental honorable mention is “Go With You.”
I had several pictures to post today, but my uploader has stalled and my time’s up…oh bother. God bless your week and enjoy these last few days of October!

Hi Brooke,
I am not sure if you ended up looking into curling Karolinas hair…I know I am late reading this, but I know a friend of mine uses socks to curl her daughters hair..I think if you Google it or maybe look it up on Pinterest there should be some information that will explain how….
