A Life in Pictures: City Bumpkin

My son loves balloons. As in, loooooves ballons. When we arrived in the United States after 25 hours on an airplane, he was as happy as a bird with a French fry because someone was waiting in the lobby with balloons.

This past weekend, we took him to the park AND we gave him balloons. Could life BE any better?

Our annual pumpkin carving event was a success. This year we honored our beloved Detroit Tigers (who ended up going down in flames). Oh well. There's always next year.

 

And that's my life ... in pictures.

A Life in Pictures: Apple of My Eye

'Tis the season for sweatshirts, pumpkin bread, and fiery leaves.

Over the weekend, my family celebrated fall at the apple orchard. I am working to establish traditions for each of the seasons. (Why limit traditions to 2 months out of the year?!) This idea is definitely a keeper.

When people ask if my son has a nanny, I answer, "Well, yes. But she's golden, four-legged, with a cold, wet nose."

Tomorrow night our social worker comes to visit us for our first adoption post-placement visit. I can't even believe it's been two months today since I first laid eyes (in person) on my little boy!

In some ways, the time has flown. In other ways, I feel like my son has always been a part of my life. Strange how that happens, yes?

I was recently telling a friend that I am going to endeavor to take a family photo on the 5th of each month since our first family photo was snapped on August 5th. (Nothing fancy--just a photo that I can print when deals like this come along!) My friend responded that she wished I would post more photos here on House Honcho.

Good idea.

Beginning today, I am going to publish a photo each Wednesday that represents something going on in my life here at home. I will still respond to questions. Keep 'em coming! But maybe, just maybe, these photos will give you a glimpse into the craziness of my super cool family ...
