Fall in a nutshell

Life has been so busy and my poor little blog has been neglected once again. I'd really like to get back to writing more again but for now, here is a glimpse at our fall 2014 in a nutshell. And because I'm super lazy right now and don't feel like arranging these in chronological order, you will get them all out of order. Sorry! 

we went to the Big E - took the girls out of school and had a fabulous day together, just the 4 of us.


so proud of this guy who ran his FIRST half marathon this October. he ROCKED it! 


Columbus Day we had Family Fun day - apple picking, hayride, apple bobbing, lunch together, donut on a string contest and just pure, family fun




we took our annual trip to NH for a few days. hiking, hanging out, relaxing, it was wonderful as always.



this amazing guy celebrated his 40th birthday. love him! 


we had a nice visit from cousins! yay! 


Halloween fun with friends. we always have a blast dressing up and going trick or treating. 





soccer, soccer and more soccer. 3 teams to be exact. Haley played for her school team, which was not only undefeated, but they had not even one single goal scored against them. she also played on a travel team, which also took first place in their division. such an amazing group of girls! 


 these are the 8th grade girls from her team ... kinda sad to think this was their last season of soccer in our town. {they can still play on school teams though}. 

 Jilly also played soccer this fall. She did great, even scoring a few goals! 


I went to the Camp Berea Women's Retreat with a bunch of wonderful friends. It was such an awesome weekend of refreshment!


this beautiful girl went to her first school dance. she really is growing up WAY too fast. 


we made 50 million fleece blankets ... well not quite, but it feels like it! Haley is selling them to make money to go on her 8th grade school trip to Washington DC. She has already made enough to make the first payment. Proud of her for working hard towards her goal. 

I got a NEW job that I love .... but had to leave behind a job that I also loved and people that I loved to work with. It was a very bittersweet day and I am so thankful for my amazing work friends who showered me with gifts on my last day. I've been at my new job for about a month now and I love it. It's a lot to learn and take in but every day I am getting better and better and learning so much more. 

this gorgeous girl turned 13 ... seriously the clock can stop now ... time is moving too fast and I just want to stop it for a little while. love her!  

and that's about it ... we've just been so busy with life and the fall has flown by. we're looking forward to Thanksgiving in a couple weeks, basketball starting for the girls, indoor soccer games {which have already started} and eventually CHRISTMAS! 

be blessed!
