Happy fall y'all.

    

     After many long weeks of waiting 41 and a half, but who's counting!), our beautiful new daughter is finally here! She arrived on October 5th at 6:44 pm. We decided on the name Sophie Rae. Not my first (or second) pick, but it is pretty darn cute and growing on me. Sophie just adds to the fun and madness around our house and of course to the all the love. Sadie loves being a big sister so far & is a big help. I have really enjoyed being off work and able to spend more time with Sadie and of course to get to know Sophie. We all think that Sophie looks a lot like Adam, although I think she will have blue eyes like Sadie and I. Sophie seems to be a similar baby as Sadie was, although a bit more fussy.

     Sadie is doing well in school and enjoying kindergarten. I can't believe that Thanksgiving is in a couple of weeks and winter break is right around the corner. Hanukkah starts the day after Thanksgiving, so we are all getting ready for that and trying to decide what to get Adam's family. We have also been talking about what to get Sadie for Hanukkah and Christmas. She hasn't really asked for anything big. She loves to do arts and crafts so maybe a bunch of that type of stuff.

     We have had some changes in the house, as well. With Sophie being here and us in a 2 bedroom house, space is getting a little cramped. We switched bedrooms with Sadie and put her in the upstairs "master" bedroom and we are in her old room. Truth be told the bedrooms are pretty much the same size but we no longer have an en suite bathroom (we had to say bye bye to our double sinks). Sophie is in our (large walk in) closet and we have made that a nice little space for her. So far, the switch is working out better than we thought. I'll post some pics soon.

     Well, the kids are in bed and I have a hot chocolate and an episode of modern family calling my name :-)
