Catching Up... Again

I don't even know where to start really. Work continues to be crazy, life is crazy... there's not enough hours in the day. We've also been busier with photography again and all the other fun things fall brings about.

Our good friend Tarl recently completed his Ph.D in chemical engineering SO Matt had the grand idea that each of us should make a cake to share during our monthly Google Hangout session. Tarl was originally a K-State Wildcat so I made the cake purple. =) The sprinkles were just for good measure. ;)

 I took a selfie because I was excited to get out of the office... even if it was for a meeting.

 We took pictures of this sweet girl's family a couple weekends ago. =)

The next week, we celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. We celebrated with a quick lunch at the Grinder Man, then the following weekend Dac's parents kept Reid so we could have a whole day in Wichita... where we shopped, ate, and talked about Reid. ;) 

I've introduced Reid to Play-Doh. I've had it since Charli was little and would come play. It's a mess and he tries to eat it sometimes but since he's figured out how to get through the baby gate, it's the only way I can get supper made. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Last weekend, my Aunt Diana was in town, so we went out to eat Friday night. Then, Saturday, we went out of town to take engagement pictures for a good family friend. So may parents and aunt kept Reid. It sounded like everyone had a great time. Plus, I got to see this sweet girl. Quite possibly the kindest, most gentle dog I've ever known. I kind of love her. She's getting older and has arthritis pretty bad. It breaks my feelings but she still seems happy. =)

I've been able to spend some time with Sky lately. I've been thrown into the world of teenagers and Lord have mercy... it can be rough. Whew! She's also a ton of fun though. =)

Dac and I browsed Barnes and Noble the other day and picked up a new Little Blue Truck book to replace the one Reid read to death. =) We also picked up the next book in the sequence, and THIS: Because, hello, it's Peety. =)

We also went to Eskimo Joe's last weekend. Annnnnd I got a new shirt. =)

Ok, big news here people. I became and aunt again... to another sweet baby girl. My cousin (sister from another mister, my boo) Courtney had Rylie Savannah Tuesday. She weighed 7lbs and was 20.5in.

Oh, and did I mention? She's BEAUTIFUL. A total doll baby. Oh how I wish I could meet and cuddle her soon. I hope Reid and her will be as close as we are some day.

In other exciting news, Sky and I entered a BBBS selfie contest and WON! =) We had the best time taking selfies and choosing which one we'd enter. We both about laughed 'til we cried. We won a dinner for two and movie tickets! We'll no doubt have a fun date.

The picture on the left is from maybe a month or so after I met Sky. (We were matched the beginning of March 5, 2007... Sky was in 3rd grade). Anyway, the one on the right is our winning selfie. =)

Fall TV is in full swing. Love that. 

I made an apple crisp last night to use up some apples. 

I'm in the depths of conference planning. I feel like we've hit road block after road block but I think we're getting there. I mean, we have to right? It's THIS month! =/ 

I'm looking forward to it being over but I'm also looking forward to getting to spend some time with friends and family over the next couple months.
