Halloween 2013

She operates with so much concentration! She found a little blemish on the pumpkin that looked like the marks I'd been making as guidelines. She took right to it with precision :)

Sorry for not writing for so long! We're alive and well. Just got back from visiting family in Fresno. We had fun on hay rides and eating a month early Thanksgiving dinner (we love it so much, we've got to do it twice!).

I have all the photos from the last few months on my desktop and will hopefully be posting them soon.

I keep getting sidetracked by good projects. I decided to renew my Utah Realtor's License, which involved 30 credit hours (about 20 hours of work) over a weekend. But I'm really glad to have that still.

Also, just today I started on a still life of pomegranates that is absolutely gorgeous (the set up). We'll have to see how the painting portion goes.

Dan and I finished Blackmoore by Julianne Donaldson -- a beautiful love story. It was fun to read together and I'd totally recommend it. I read it twice in October :)

Dan's work schedule isn't as crazy anymore I am SO happy to report. His cases are slowing down and that means he works much more normal hours. I LOVE it!

I am 32 weeks into this pregnancy and feeling really excited to meet Brielle!

Milah is growing like crazy and learning new words. Today she looked at my painting and exclaimed "Cool! Moludyetz (good job in Russian) and started clapping for me." How darling? I know!
