I can't believe ...

I can't believe...
How big my son Tyler is getting. He is almost 6 months old!

I can't believe...
How smart, amazing & beautiful my baby girl Julianna is at 3 and 1/2 years old!

I can't believe...
That I will be 43 this year. Blegh. I will go with the motto - 43 is the new 30?

I can't believe...
Summer is over. Fall is almost over. Bummer.

I can't believe...
Christmas is 2 months away. As much as I hate cold weather, I look forward to Christmas so much!

I can't believe...
Our hot water heater went boom. Again. Always happens at the WRONG time, like right when you are about to make another big purchase.

I can't believe...
It was 30 degrees yesterday morning when I woke up. Brrrrrrr.

I can't believe...
How much I love the show Nashville!

I can't believe...
How much I'm still in love with my husband after 12 incredible years together.

I can't believe...
My dog Pepper is 5 and 1/2 years old. I feel like we just brought her home as a puppy.

I can't believe...
How much I feel like I need a vacation. Bad.

I can't believe...
It's been a year since Hurricane Sandy hit here - and some areas aren't even close to being recovered.

I can't believe...
How much I really need a bigger house and it can't happen anytime soon because our housing market is still soooo flat here in NJ.

I can't believe...
How happy my son Tyler is all of the time. He laughs & smiles constantly. He lights up any room!

I can't believe...
That gas prices are dropping still. Maybe below $3? Do I dare dream.

I can't believe...
That I took so many pictures this fall and I haven't posted hardly any.

I can't believe...
How incredibly happy I am to have my job & I say it every day how lucky I am to work from home. Because of this, I am able to pick up my daughter from preschool on my lunch and drop her at daycare... and see my kids right away at 4:30 after work since my daycare provider is only a mile away. I am staying in my job until my retirement day.

I can't believe...
How excited I am to replace our 40 year old wood stove with a more efficient one. Sad what you get excited over in life as an adult. Ha!

I can't believe...
How boring sports is for our area this fall. No Baseball post-season. NY Giants just suck the big one. And any other sport is just not worth watching. Hockey? Nope sorry. So.... I guess I will catch up on TV series I've been wanting to watch (like "Royal Pains" & "Homeland")

I can't believe...
How much I love buying clothes for my babies! One might say I'm even addicted.

I can't believe...
How much I love Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks even it it is $4 for "tall" (Hint; rhymes with small).

I can't believe...
That Julianna is starting to like princesses, unicorns and dolls. She has never been into any of this stuff - but just recently started being interested and HAD to be a princess for Halloween! The princess has entered the building. Here we go.

I can't believe...
That Tyler is finally sleeping at night without being wrapped in a "Swaddle-Me". Especially good timing since he just rolled over for the first time this week. He's been sleeping through the night since 7 weeks old - but first time without a swaddle this week! Progress.

For the next couple of weeks, I'm going to focus on fall photography and step away from kid/parent stuff briefly. I have taken a lot of {hopefully} nice pictures lately... and I want to share them with you. I hope you enjoy my fall segment. Let me know what you think.

One of my favorite sunset shots of the lake that I've taken this year! 

 This was taken at a local marina on our lake.
