Halloween Festivities

This past weekend was a lot of fun. I had Taylor's sister, lauren, come in town for her fall break. We went around running errands, watching movies, going to the pumpkin patch, and eating yummy treats at Ghirardelli Square! Taylor has been a lot more busy this quarter and its just the beginning. So all the visitors i've had lately are much appreciated. All my bestest high school friends are thinking of coming sometime in the near future and that will be absolutely crazy and i can not wait.








Look who came up to us at the pier!


Daphne loved being bundled up on our walk to Fisherman's wharf! Cute little rosy cheeks.


October is absolutely the best time of the year for me. Its the kick start to all the holidays. This year is especially exciting because its all the firsts for Daphne: first costume, first big family thanksgiving dinner, and first christmas stocking experience. Another reason i love all the holidays is because it makes the last part of the year fly by. Daphne's first birthday will be here before i know it.

Why is it so hard?

Why is it so hard to blog? It shouldnt be but for some reason it still feels like a hassle. Maybe its because i feel like i've got to play catch up but i don't. There is just so much i want to blog about and then i just let it pile on. So from here on out im going to make a conscious effort to blog more often no matter how short or long the blog is.
Taylor just finished up his first quarter at UOP. It was a tough transition for the both of us but now that we've gotten the hang of how things will be for the next couple of years i think it'll be a little bit easier on the both of us, but mostly taylor. We spent some of his week break in southern california with his family and some of the break here in san francisco doing touristy things. It was a great break. I think it really helped Taylor get back into the mindset of a harder quarter and also was nice to have him around all week long. Daphne enjoyed the break from only seeing mommy all day!








I had my sisters come in town this past weekend and it was a lot of fun. We rode the cable cars all around china town and union square. For having a baby around and a pregnant lady we did a lot! Everything took 5 times longer, but we did it. Its been a long time since i was able to stay up till 1am talking to my sisters. I've got great sisters and i cant wait for our kids to grow up together.







Daphne is growing up so fast. She spends hours just rolling around from back to stomach and stomach to back (since that is the only way she can get around). Her mumblings sound more and more like real words everyday. I swear she is about to say mama. She was playing in the bath the other day and i saw a little white spot on her gums. I freaked out because i knew it was a tooth. The next day it popped through the gum. I've got to take as many pictures as i can before her tooth is all the way out. Its crazy how fast time goes when your baby is growing up more and more everyday.
