Happy Fall!

Fall is officially underway, and it is one of my favorite times of the year.  Maeve is enjoying discovering the joys of dressing warm.

Cool Hat!


High Five for staying warm!
Cool hat from Nan!

I call this her Blossom hat (for those of you who grew up in the 90's) , but it is so soft and cute!

Bundled up with Aunt Heather!

Maeve's favorite way to stay warm, a warm hug!
We went to our first outdoor party at the Auchenbach cabin.  We were celebrating Zak's graduation with the Good Loving Jam Band and, of course, good food.

Dancing!

Ta-dah!

Maeve all bundled up with her Daddy!
The following day, it was a beautiful 70 degrees, so I bought a 30lb. pumpkin, carved leg holes in it, and set up a photo shoot with Ms. Maeve.  She was super excited, since she already had on her cute pumpkin dress...

"I love my pumpkin dress!"

"And I love to eat pumpkins!"
 Maeve actually really enjoyed being in the pumpkin and was smiling and laughing the whole time.













Those are some of my favorite pictures!

Nan (Heidi) and I have also been busy making Maeve's Halloween costume.  This past Saturday, Maeve debuted it at the Boyertown Halloween parade.  She was a hoot and a half!

Ready to go!
 My sister met us their with her 5 girls too.  They loved the parade (really the candy)
