Month of Birthdays...

I love this time of year...the weather is cooling off (albeit a little too cold today..), it's football season (especially fun this year - War Eagle!), and the leaves change to the most gorgeous colors! This just might be my favorite season each year.

October is Graham and Abby's birthday month, so it was a busy, but very fun month for us! We celebrated Graham's 29th birthday and Abby's 1st birthday. Can you guess who got the most attention? :)

Here are some pictures to recap this month...

{Happy Birthday! The big 2-9!!}

{Melanie and Mom at our family birthday dinner for Graham and Abby!}

{My handsome hubby showing off some new clothes}

{Abby tearing in to her presents - she was way more interested in the boxes and paper than what was inside!}

{Melanie spent hours upon hours making this scrapbook of Abby's first year}

{All of the ladies checking out the scrapbook}

{The love of my life}

{Love these two!}

{We are best friends :)}

{Poor thing had to be tired of her aunt making her take pictures with everyone in the room!}

{One more...definitely over the picture thing at this point...}

{So thankful for this man. It is a JOY to celebrate his birthday!}

{One of my most favorite people in the world - Marco Vallejo! This man and his family have been so important to me and my family for 10 years now. So glad he was able to spend a few days in Birmingham before heading to Cuba with Brook Hills.}

{Dad and his girls}

{Happy Birthday Precious!}

Abby's Birthday Party!

{My beautiful parents}

{Mom and I painted these pumpkins for Abby's birthday...and Melanie helped :) Mom came up with the idea that turned out so cute!}


{Andersons celebrating their baby girl}

{Me and mom...love her so much!}

{Abby's first experience with cake...I think she liked it...don't you?!}

Okay, so this is probably the most pictures in one blog post I have ever done - but I love pictures and think they can capture moments in such a stronger way than me just trying to explain them!

Other than the birthday celebrations, things have been pretty quiet around our house. We are still seeking what is next for us and trusting that God will reveal that in His perfect timing. I am learning more and more each day just how impatient I am, but even more just how faithful God is. He has shown that to my family this month in a powerful way and I am beyond thankful to Him for that.

"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken."
Psalm 62:1-2
