this week

monday funday! the past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind. between my birthday and halloween, we have been doing all of the family things, seeing so many people we love, and capped it all off with a fun milestone or two for everyone.

halloween was an dream. maya was excited to be an orange witch, and wanted her brother to be a black cat, since at least early september. we spent the weekend before halloween practicing for the big night, with a few family birthday celebrations for me. she ran around in haystacks, trick or treated at any place that would let her, and threw a halloween party (aka barbecue for my birthday) all before the big day.

tuesday, despite a tough cold hitting her hard, she powered through, dressed up, and knocked on every door to trick or treat. it was the absolute best.

capping off halloween week, wade and i ran a 10k, which i had planned for myself as a goal after having brendan. i had missed running so much later in my pregnancies and immediately postpartum, and loved how strong i felt running the race. maya and brendan at the finish line was the greatest feeling ever, knowing these two little babes were all mine, and i could still run well and feel strong.

all of my things, right now….
