sweet homecoming

It has been a long 7 months. 

D returned home from his deployment earlier this week. 

You better believe I could not wait to put our sweet baby in his arms. 

the excitement was too much, baby girl slept through the entire thing.

can we not talk about this sunspot? as d said "right in the moneymaker!"

finally home!

baby cub

I know I know. Still need a birth story. I'm in the process of writing it but get teary eyed every few paragraphs. They really do grow up SO FAST. Last night Lyla dressed up as a baby cub. fitting, no? A girlfriend of mine started calling her baby cub while I was still pregnant and the name just stuck. So, when I saw this costume from pottery barn I knew it had to be hers. 

We went trick or treating with my neighbor and her daughter but really Lyla just laid in the stroller and checked out all the big kids. 

and about 10 minutes in, this baby cub was out: 

Too cute.  i am THRILLED we are now into november. November 1st means d comes home VERY soon & the starbucks holiday cups are out :)
