ho hum...

Life has been fairly uneventful, yet surprisingly busy in the last month. We traveled to Nashville, TN (or the REAL Nashville, as you have to call it if you live in Indiana) and spent some time with Troy's parents. We also got to visit my sister and brother-in-law who live down there, which is always a treat. Vacationing with a baby is definitely a different dynamic because you have to schedule everything around nap time. Since Ian still takes 3 naps a day, this gets pretty tricky, but I was more than happy to just relax and spend some quality time in the hot tub! We did have the chance to go hiking. Ian had fun on daddy and grandpa's back:





















We also went to the Opryland Hotel just to walk around. If you've never been there, it's absolutely beautiful. You feel like you're in a huge garden, not a touristy hotel. Here is a picture we took right after I found out I was pregnant. We found the same place to take a family pic while we were there last weekend (15 months later). Crazy how fast time goes by!





















I absolutely love this time of year. The fall leaves make me so happy. Today I was walking outside with Ian and our dog Petey, and I felt so happy. But with daylight savings time coming this weekend, I feel winter looming in the future, and I'm definitely not looking forward to the cold Indiana weather and lack of outdoor time we're going to face. Plus, Ian has been sleeping great at night and waking up around 7 a.m. or a little before. I'm afraid that's going to change to 6 a.m. with the time change. Ugh!!!

Of course, I can't end this post without a cute Halloween pic. He looks like a pro already!













He's a cutie, and I'm not lion!
