I just wanted to say thank you to my sister-in-law, Rachael, for taking our photos today, on our anniversary. It was very special to us, and we have this day and this memory, to re-live over, forever through film. Thanks. We are so blessed and so lucky to have you!! We know the images will be beautiful, and can't wait!! You are so talented, and amazing and surprising us every day with your talent.
Thank you too, for lending me your lens. I am loving it!
Loving playing, loving exploring, testing...
You're the best!!

Best Husband Ever!
So, that's why you were late getting home...
Ok, I forgive you, just this once...
These pink boxes are kind of a significant mark as gifts for me, and I always feel special whenever I have the opportunity/occasion to receive one, or in this case TWO! Yeah!!
Love the Pink Boxes, even more than the
little blue ones!

Happy Anniversary!!
My darling, my love, my best friend...Happy 2nd Anniversary!!
I love you today as the day I knew I could love no other as I loved you, as much as the day you asked for my hand in Marriage, as much as the following "Yes" that insued, as much as the day our two lives became one, and as much as the two blissful weeks we spent as Newlyweds!
I love you as much as the day I told you, you would be a Daddy for the first time, I love you as much as the day our first Daughter took her first breath in this world, as much as the moment I saw her in your arms, and she took your breath away, I love you as much as the first time I watched you rock her gently into sweet slumber. I love you today, more than ever, and each day that I live, I love you more, and each day, I fall in love with you all over again.
For you and our dance in Ashley Kohn's Garage:
"Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard oneI know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' youCan hurt you somehow
Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's ableYou know the queen of heats is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine thingsHave been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late..."
It's late, but a peek back in time before I go...

Sniffles...
The little Pumpkin has a cold, and a bit of a bad coughus. It seems to have started after her Flu shot, and we thought, initially, that it was just a reaction from her Flu Shot, but now, we're not so sure. She started sneezing shortly after her shot Friday, and started to get a bit of a runny nose. Sunday night, she wouldn't sleep, and nothing seemed to calm her, not even nursing her. We thought maybe, she was teething. Then on Wednesday, the poor little pumpkin started coughing, and she hasn't stopped since. It makes me wish that I was home with the poor little pumpkin, to comfort her. But mainly, I feel responsible for placing her in Day Care, where she is exposed to germs, and whatever is going around. I am very good about washing my hands often and sanitizing after being at work, so I don't think that I carried it home to her, but I can't be sure. Which makes me feel even more guilty. When we went for Nik's 6 Month check-up, the doctor's office was packed with children, who I'm sure were all sick, but none of them got near Nik. I would hope that the doctor's offices are careful about good hand washing. But either way, the poor little pumpkin has a case of the sniffles and the coughs, and she is not sleeping very well, as she keeps waking up coughing. She has managed to steer clear of a fever, thank goodness. My heart aches for her, I just pray she gets better soon.
Also, I started a second blog. As a 'New Mommy,' I had all this info that I want to keep close by on hand, and wanted to share, but wanted to keep our family blog clean of a hodge podge of articles and info. I thought the info deserved it's own place, and rightfully so. It's just starting, as I will be adding info as I get the time. The blog domain and title are different, as are these. I initially wanted the site to be "Mama Mia," but when I put the domain in, it was already taken, so I tried to think of another one, but there are so many great ones out there that already taken, like The Nest, and The Itch, and so on, so I thought of Pickles and Ice Cream, the adage for preggers, but that was taken as well, so I compromised. In the future, as Josh and I add on to our little family, I would like the domain to be The Garrett Pumpkin Patch, so the blog's purpose is two-fold. You should check it out whenever there isn't a current post on "You, Me, & Baby...," as there may be one there. http://garrettpumpkinpatch.blogspot.com/
The http://mykitschy.blogspot.com/ is for something I am working on in my head, but un-decided at this time, where I am going to go with it, so I will let you know as it develops if there's anything there!

FALLing In Love...
I have fallen in love, with, well, FALL. I already told you that Fall is my absolute favorite Season. Christmas is my absolute favorite Day of the Year, but, oh, how I love Fall. Yesterday and today, I was at Home with the pumpkin and maybe that is why I have felt like I was on cloud 9 the past two days! But, the past two days I have just been overwhelming in love with Fall, and loving every minute. I put up a few decorations in the house yesterday, which helped to enlighten my mood, and the rain falling steadily yesterday as I sat with the pumpkin, nursing, looking out the picture window in our living room, just filled my heart with joy! I lit some Fall scent candles and the whole house smells like a mix of cinnamon, apple, and just simply, a grand mix of the smells of Fall bundled in a jar! I get a little giddy with I smell them! How do they do that?!
There was a moment today, taking Nik to her 6 month check-up that my heart just did a little dance. The cool, brisk air just swept over me, and the sweet smell of Autumn in the air just overwhelmed me. Everytime I walk in a room, with the candles, and the small Fall rememberances, or walk onto our Halloween inspired porch, I just feel as though my heart is skipping in my chest with the excitement of the Season (I get this way at Christmas, too-I'm like a 7 year old, it's crazy! I literally do not sleep the whole Christmas Season!!! Ask my husband, I just can't sleep! I'm too excited, putting up decs, wrapping presents, thinking of gifts for family, anticipating giving the gifts, watching Christams movies, listening to Christmas songs. I'm a Nutball! But I love every minute of it!)
The pumpkin was so brave today for her 6 month shots and her Flu shot. She got 4 shots, and the oral Polio vacine. She just cried for a moment and then she was perfectly fine. She took three naps afterwards, and I did give her a little Childrens Tylenol because I could tell the Flu shot was aching (the nurse warned me it might!). And she nursed in between naps:) She weighed 19 pounds, 8 ounces, so she's in the 90% for weight, and at 27 inches, she's in the 97% percentile for height. Still eating good apparently! Ans she is so happy lately, my little chunky monkey, I just am loving her so much. The doctor said in a month, Nik can start eating the Gerber finger food puffs, and I cant wait! She will love them! The doctor said she looks great, very healthy, and she is moving along developmentally perfectly. He said, her curiousity is good (as she tried to grab everything in the doctor's office!). Yes, we agree, her exploring every tiny thing is amazing, but I have the feeling we will never be able to so much as glance away for a second with her, she's always into something, and she can't even crawl, stand-up, or walk! Dr.Emm says to invest in some cabinent locks now! Ha!
