{a fall wedding with friends}

crazy fun wedding photobooth pics!

{october & november MIA}

fall was a complete blur.  there was so much going on around here, i'm not even sure where to start.

#1- i got to take a photography class with the amazing wendy from bluelily.  i have been wanting to take a class since we got our dslr when miles was born.  it was crazy...a group of ladies were supposed to take the class cancelled the day before and so i got wendy all to myself for two hours!  i still have SO much practicing to do, but feel alot more comfortable shooting in something other than auto.  big accomplishment! 

#2- i got this crazy idea i should turn the upstairs dumping ground office into a guest room.  our neighbor steve moved and gave us a double bed which should fit nice in there.  mike went to a conference in il and took owen with him to visit the grandparents and his new cousin asher.  the kids and i ripped out nasty hot pink shag carpet and started painting the wood paneling.  (and we haven't made much progress since.)

#3- we went apple picking quite a few times at our fav orchard.  i can't say enough about those cider donuts!

#4- REUNION launched another location!  we planted a second site in somerville oct 23rd.  this has been a dream of ours to be a multi-site church since before we moved to boston.  it was truly amazing to see it come to fruition...total God-thing!  it was alot of work for sure and the team was pretty tired once we came off the high of the first sunday.  we dubbed that exhaustion that followed, the "somerville hangover".

woody insisted on wearing rain boots.  And we have pocahontas and a transformer.

#5- halloween.  we went trick-or-treating in the neighborhood with our friends lucca and levi.  good times and yummy candy!

this leaf had a heart-shaped hole.  see it?!

 

#6- gorgeous fall color.  seriously, you cannot beat new england in the fall.  breathtaking!

#7- thanksgiving feast and plays for aiden and miles.   lots of fun stuff happening at school.  aiden was asked the day before to step in and take the lead in a play she wasn't supposed to be in because "squanto" had to go out of town.  may be a first...a female squanto.  and she wore her great grandma's apron for her role as a pilgrim mama in play #2.

 #8- LOTS of writing on my part for life after sunday.  you can check it out here.

i think i may be caught up.  so is that good or bad that i can boil two monthes down to 8 bullet points???
