3 years!?!?

I can hardly believe it's been 3 years since I posted on this blog.  Wow!  This year I hope to get back into the swing of things.  My oldest, Samuel, is now 11 years old and in 5th grade.  Addison is 7 years old and in 2nd grade and Eli is 4 years old and in Pre-K.  We are still an Army family and my husband is actually going to deploy to Afghanistan, in the near future, for a year. 

Normally I would have my home completely decorated by now, but I don't.  I have started and will work on it in little bits as time allows.  I will start sharing photos of little things here and there.  I have become more of a minimalist in the past few years because i'm not in love with my decorations anymore but it's too costly to replace them all with more up-to-date items.  Trust me, I have plenty of visions in my head of how I would love for my house to look at Halloween, it's just not a reality right now.

We did already get our pumpkins, a couple weeks ago actually.  My husband was getting ready to start working 7 days a week until the middle of October so we decided to go early so we could do it as a family.
