its been very busy around here the past couple of weeks. last week wesley's work schedule was pretty insane, then it was combined with several practices for the 2 gigs we have this weekend, and preparations for the halloween gathering and the birthday party of our 2 year old. so, it's been nice to have the day off of work today. well, not technically, but i am working from home, so it's still nice. i made biscuits for breakfast and watched knox play excitedly on his new "4 wheeler" from his Papaw and Mamaw. i have to admit, its pretty much one of the cutest things that you ever did see when he rides it in his wranglers and john deere boots.
wesley and i have gotten into yet another tv series, since we finished Alias. The Shield. its really good, but i'll warn you if you don't know anything about it, it gets pretty graphic at times. we have to make sure knox is safely deep asleep before we watch it.
tonight for dinner i'm going to make loaded baked potato soup and cobb salads. i have to grocery shop today because our cabinets are looking a little scarce. but it should be a good break after knox's nap to get us out of the house. it's my week to cook for wednesday night supper at church, and some of the ladies have very graciously offered to help me cook (being that i'm about 9 months pregnant, though i feel normal) :) so, i'm also planning on making Jennifer's Squash Dressing and green bean casserole today in preparation for tomorrow night. :) yummy!
hello again.

Baby Hiccups
they feel kinda like what i would imagine a belly spasm to feel like, although now that i have it in writing, it sounds painful (its not). for all of you out there who have never been pregnant (and i'm hoping the days are numbered for some of you....i won't mention any names...) it kinda is strange feeling, but really cool. i mean, really, it feels like overnight someone has surgically inserted a basketball inside of my belly, one that dances and squiggles all on its own. so, that ended up being a poor analogy, but too bad. i can't think of anything else.
tomorrow is halloween, which is subsequently knox's birthday. i cannot believe he is 2 years old already. i know, i know. you hear this sort of thing every year from every mother, but its true! where did the time go? somewhere in the past two years, between nursing, diapering, watching knox learn to talk, to walk, to run, to make complete sentences (they're getting better), to eating more and more vegetables without getting into trouble, learning the first 6 questions & answers of the catechism, learning to sit still at times, learning to be quiet at times, going to the playground, playing with chalk, seeing the chickens, going on trips, and everything else in our daily routine, i don't know where the time went! ;)
we have plans for trick-or-treating at friends' houses in his nemo suit, and possibly stopping by a fall festival if we have enough time. after we put knox down, we are having some friends over for games and appetizers (hooray for adult time!). i am looking forward to it.
saturday is knox's birthday party, again it will be at the little park, as we like to call it. i still have need of wrapping the little gifts i got for him (shhh, keep it a secret & i'll tell you what it is! a spiderman potato head, little bob-the-builder trucks, some sort of non-dripping go-diego-go bubble blower, and some cash we'll put away for his savings.) i still need to make the elmo cake i'm planning on baking, but perhaps i'll do that saturday morning so it will be fresh and so that i won't be overwhelmed with other things.
this afternoon i have a bridal shoot with robin (shoot 2). we ran out of time...and lighting...last time, so we're going at it again! i am looking forward to it. i wish i could post some of the pictures from the last shoot, but the nature of the shoot is relatively secret, so once they're safe and married, i'll try to post the pictures. :)
