Family time!

Before I get to family time, let me again share how much I love fall!  Although there were quite a few rain showers this morning, the afternoon was blue sky and crisp temperatures.  Just lovely!  I even did a little fall decorating inside!

Fall decorations were 60% off at Michaels!  Flowers=$2, Pumpkin= $3!

Rachel helped me cut out some paper leaves to
add to my willow branches (which, by the way,
are from our wedding.  They cost $30 and I
have definitely been getting my money's worth!)

Pumpkin=$2, Pedestal stand=$2 at thrift store,
Candy jar=$3 (I mean, Halloween is coming
up...)

Rachel and Andrew will be traveling to Taiwan next week to see my parents.  This will be the first time  my parents have ever seen their first grandchild in person.  I mean, can we say BIG DEAL?!  I seriously get choked up just thinking about how that first moment will be when they get to hold him.  I told Rachel that someone better be there to document that first hug on video.  My parents are the most proud grandparents ever.  My mom has every picture ever taken (and published) of that precious boy in a photo album right on her coffee table.  I know.  I've been there and I've seen it.  We're talking picture printed and in album within an hour of them being published on Facebook.  Let's just say Rachel better get her fill of holding him on the plane ride because she's not going to be holding much of him once they get to Taiwan. I digress...

Click below for a video of me getting the giggles out of Andrew.  Oh, and in case you're wondering what in the world I am saying to him, it's "Clean bottom, clean bottom.  I'm cleeeeeeaaaaaan".  I had just changed his diaper.

And what post would be complete without the addition of a Lily pic?  This great shot was taken by my hubby!
