October in a nuttshell (be prepared some of this is scary)


Oh what a month! I cant belive it is already November! We are counting down the days until our baby girl arrives (no name yet). Also, we were so lucky to have Nana out our way to visit. Evie loved every moment of it and we look forward to her coming back soon. Fall has always been my favorite time of the year. I love the colors, smells, and yummy foods. We discovered an awesome little farm near home where we could find our pumpkins, taste fresh pressed apple cidar, and pick our own organic produce. (Time for homemade applesauce) My cousin Nicole had a wonderful baby shower, I just love being pregnant the same time as a friend. Then Halloween came and...well you can look for yourself. Lets just say that my husband is a very confident man. Our friends had a fun adult only Halloween costume party and Dave wanted to be something...original. So here is a glimpse at our October!

Nana and Evie with her new Princess puzzle. She loves this almost as much as her princess shoes Nana bought her. She has a blister on her foot because she wears them 24/7.

Growing up WAY too fast!

This is Evie picking out her pumpkin and below she is simply claiming it. It took us a little convincing to get her off.

Evalyn refused to touch the pumpkin seeds. "Yut" she says.



Nicole and I at her shower, only a few weeks to go!



Ok so here is Richard Simmons and I after the Halloween Party. (I warned you) This is one of many pictures I will treasure for years to come. (How do you like my Mumu?)


And finally, our little lamb! Evalyn loved trick or treating this year. She was so sad when we informed her we had to go inside.

So cute Carissa! You have the cutest family despite Richard Simmons being your husband. Glad you had a great Halloween! That's what it's all about.

This is great!!! I love the costume idea, and yes, your husband must be very confident :) I bet it was a huge hit a the party!

Evalyn looks so adorable, and in that first pic of her, she looks like a little mini you :) What a little sweetheart!

Sounds like you've had a great month! You're looking great, and I'm sure getting excited to have another sweet little girl there with you!

I sure miss you! :)

Carissa, I can't believe how much your little girl looks like you! Just like Kimra said, that first picture of her definitely looks like an Ayala. And I LOVE the Halloween costumes - SO fun!

And congratulations to you, too, on having another little girl!!! That's so great! You look so wonderful! I'm so glad to be in touch with you again.

We are connected! I am so thankful. I just love your family, and I can't believe how grown up Evalyn is! I loved spending some quality time with you last night. Much needed.
Also, I would just like to report that I felt honored to witness your greatness first-hand on Halloween.

What a cute lamb! I must say, I think everyone about died at the costume party when Dave walked in- it was CLASSIC. I love you guys! The picture of Evalyn up top is so cute; she has the sweetest little face.

Carissa! Hey, Oh my goodness is your little girl the cutest thing or what?! I havn't been able to see your blog since it went private, and I can't believe how big your little girl has gotten. She is beautiful! And congrats on the new little baby girl coming!!! We are expecting baby #2 as well! I am about 14 weeks right now, so we will find out if it is a boy or girl probably right before Christmas. It's so good to get on your blog now and see what you guys have been up to! Your little family is so cute!
