Fall Fun!

We have been busy lately! It's hard to believe that tomorrow starts October already! Miriam also turned 13 months old yesterday... but somehow, each month doesn't seem quite as significant now as it was before she turned 1. Still, she is growing up!

We do have our own internet now, so I will hopefully be able to post more regularly. It's nice to feel connected once again :)

Probably the biggest part of September was that my sister got married! I was finally able to be a bridesmaid in a wedding! It was a lot of fun and we are so happy for them. The weekend ended up being a bit different than we had anticipated, however, because Miriam got sick the day before we left. She wasn't extremely sick, but sure had a cold and was running a bit of a fever. So, as a last minute decision, we ended up leaving her here with Matt's parents overnight (for the first time!). We left Friday afternoon to make it in time for the groom's dinner and stayed until about 9:30 on Saturday evening. We sure did a lot in that short amount of time, but it turned out to be a wonderful weekend. It was also good for Matt and I to have a little time for just "us".

So, because we had to leave Miriam home, we didn't get a chance to show off the beautiful dress her Grandma Bev bought her for the wedding. We decided to take Miriam out on Sunday to do our own little photo shoot with her dress. Unfortunately, it was a little cloudy, but we got a few good shots. We think she'll be able to wear it for the holidays, too. The pictures of her dress and also one of when Grandpa and Grandma Vettrus came to visit on Monday are what I posted.
