A Beautiful Saturday in October

Mike has been working a lot lately, which means we haven't spent much time together as a family. We need the money so its great that Mike is working a lot right now but it still doesn't make it any easier. On Saturday Mike didn't have to work and I was pretty thrilled that we were finally going to be spending some quality time together!

When we all woke up Mike made a big breakfast for us, which has now become a Saturday Morning tradition. Then we went to Target to buy diapers and wipes for Chloe and some cleaning products for the apartment. When ever we need to run errands I always wear Chloe in my Babyhawk. She is as happy as can be all snuggled up to me and I love having her so close!

After our trip to Target we decided to take a walk by the lake at Coulon park. It was so beautiful outside with the sun shining down and the leaves on the trees fading to red and orange. We sat on a bench looking out at the water while I nursed Chloe. The sun and fresh air felt so good on my skin as I held my sleeping baby in my arms.

After the park we headed home. Chloe took a long nap, I edited pictures. and Mike made a quick trip to Guitar Center. We had such a nice, relaxing Saturday and it was wonderful to finally be spending some time together as a family!

Chicago, Here We Come

In less then 24 hours from now my little family of three will be sitting on an airplane heading to Chicago! I'm so excited to take Chloe on her first vacation and for our family and friends to finally meet our little rosebud ( Chloe's new nickname that I gave her, I think its pretty cute!) Of course I am a little nervous about traveling for the first time with a 3 month old baby, I really hope everything goes smoothly!

In other news, I have a lot of blog posts that I plan to write when we get back home from our trip. Chloe's 3 month update, a breastfeeding update ( which I now plan to do every three months), A post about our vacation that will include lots and lots of pictures! And something I am really, really excited about is a guest post from fellow blogger and soon to be first time Mom, Melanie from Oh, Baby! Baby Blog, Go check out her lovely blog!

See ya next Friday!

Some Exciting News

I'm excited to share that my husband is now going to be blogging on my blog. Basically just whenever he feels like it and has something he wants to share. I'm really excited to have him be apart of my this, his support really means so much to me. I'm also looking forward to reading what he has to say, I feel like I'm going to learn so much more about my husband through his writing. His first post is going to be a q&a so that everyone can get to know him a little better. So be on the look out for that!

In other exciting news,  one week from today we will be in Chicago with our family and friends showing off our little pumpkin!! I'm so excited for our first vacation as a family of three!
