I love September!

I don't know about you, but I love fall and I'm so happy that it's finally here! I seriously think I love everything about it...the cooler nights, U football games, sweatshirts and jeans, school starting, knowing that I survived Swiss Days and for this year...getting closer to having this baby! Overall I've had a pleasant pregnancy, but just this week I was thinking 'how much longer?'...Seriously I think the last two months are the hardest for me because I know that the end is getting closer but it seems like it lasts forever too. Ah the joys of pregnancy!
Anyhow Avery started her 2nd year of pre-school and she absolutely loves it! On her first day, Rich asked her what she learned and she said, "My teacher has so many polly pockets!" It was so funny but I wasn't surprised. She loves those things! Here's a couple of pics from her 1st day - (yes I know her hair was wet...we didn't get up early enough to do it!)









Oh how sweet!





Avery thinking "I can't wait to go to pre-school and play with all the dolls!"



As many of you know, Swiss Days is over. I say that with a partial smile on my face. It's kindof like Christmas - can't wait for it to come but afterwards can't wait to take down the tree! It's so funny because it takes us about 4-5 hours to set up the booth and neatly place all of the product inside. Everything has it's place and has to look just perfect! Come Saturday night at around 7:45 (doesn't end until 8pm) we get the itch to start taking down everything! It only takes about 2 hours start to finish when it comes to 'post' Swiss Days! By then I'm just feeling tired and hungry...what's new? The next day I did feel a little down after it ended because it's just such a fun time of year for my sister and I. This year was awesome for us and we are hoping to get in again next year. We will be applying in January, but will have to wait until March to see. It's so hard waiting all that time, but hopefully we'll get lucky again to be in there! I saw so many friends come up to Swiss Days this year - you are all so awesome for stopping by our booth and saying hi! It made my day! We took some cute pics of our booth so I will post them when I get them!

While I was at Swiss Days, Rich took the kids canoeing with all the relatives. They had a great time. I was so happy that they had something fun to do while I was away. I was a little embarassed about Hank's jersey - apparently Rich doesn't think it's getto to wear football jerseys without a t-shirt underneath! Oh well, I don't think Hank cared at all!
My sister's chiwuawua (no idea how to spell that one) had puppies last month and oh my goodness...they are adorable. We took their 'newborn pictures' the other day! It was so fun!


Aren't they so cute?
Ashley keeps telling me that I need to take one, but I don't think I can handle having a baby and puppy at the same time...but I sure love to go visit and hold them!

Hey...there's only 1 pup left and she keeps saying "I want Cyd to take me home." (Yes..she can talk.)

Can Avery and Hank be any cuter? I love the ghetto jersey look! He looks pimp!

I hadn't heard of Swiss Days before until Kat mentioned it a couple weeks ago. Sounds like fun.

And, NO, you don't want a puppy and a newborn at the same time!!! No. You don't. Trust me. Trust your instincts.

No.
