Rain

We are having a rainy day today and I just LOVE it! I think rain gets a really bad wrap. Sometimes I feel like Im the only person who truly loves and embraces the rain! Rain is good!

To me there is almost nothing better than sitting in my cozy little house while listening to the rain outside. It's the perfect excuse to build a fire, light some yummie candles, pop in a movie and make yummie comfort food for dinner!

Im the mom who encourages her child to go out and play in the rain. Go jump in puddles! Go get wet! Go send leaves down the street in a rain made stream! Childhood is all about exploring and what better way to explore than in the rain?!

Dear Rain,
I love you.
Don't listen to what the others say about you.

Yours Truly,
Audra

A Baby Shower and Thanksgiving

So, since I last blogged both my baby shower and Thanksgiving past. Well, Thanksgiving was just two days ago so Im not that far behind, right?

My baby shower was on the 20th. We had a GREAT turnout! So much support from friends and family. It's awesome. Also, there were rainbows in the sky everywhere that day! The timing couldnt have been more perfect! A good friend of mine was able to snap a pic with her phone (arent those things just amazing these days???) and Im so thankful she did. It's a picture I will cherish forever.

Im finally letting myself truly get excited about this pregnancy and my little girl. I can not wait to meet her! Of course I still have my, "what if" days but excitement and joy are in the forefront of my mind and let me tell you, it is so refreshing!

Thanksgiving was nice. Just simple and relaxing -the way I prefer it! We went to my parent's house and feasted over there with my family and the in-laws. It was really nice! Jacob's favorite part is eating the olives Grammy puts out. What can I say? He is his mother's son.

Halloween is Over?

Am I allowed to post a Halloween photo in November? Yah, I think so too.

So, Jacob is obsessed with Luigi. NOT Mario, Luigi. My brother got us a Wii last Christmas and ever since then it's been, "Uncle B! You be Mario, I be Luigi!!!" every time he sees him. It's the cutest darn thing. AND, it's the cutest darn thing that his uncle is a GREAT sport and graciously played his role as Mario this past Halloween.
