Adalyn enjoyed her second Halloween almost as much as she loved devouring the candy she received. Things were much different this year compared to last. Addy actually enjoyed dressing up in her costume. As a matter of fact, there were a couple of days she spotted her cat costume and asked us to let her wear it around the house. Mommy and Daddy of course obliged and she would run around the house meowing and admiring her cat-self in the mirror. SO CUTE! This year, instead of roaming all through the neighborhood, we paced ourselves and opted to take Adalyn down the street we live on for her first Trick or Treat adventure. Her little cat legs didn’t slow down once. She stopped at each house and said her “Twick ah Tweet” or “Happy Hawoween,” instantly melting the heart of anyone that answered the door. Not to mention scoring an extra handful of candy. 🙂 Other exciting moments we would like to record for the month of October: Adalyn went “pee-pee pot-aye”, she started “reading” books to us, said “Thank you Daddy” without being prompted, oh and she is repeating EVERYTHING we say.

The Cagle Experience
With all the hustle and bustle of moving into a new home and preparing for baby boy’s arrival we are rushing last minute to get the Halloween decorations up and a pumpkin carved. Today, we managed to take an hour and visit Cagle’s Family Farm. The pumpkin farm we visited last year was kind of a let-down, but Cagle’s was nice. Adalyn had a great time riding a pony, jumping on the gigantic jumping pillows, petting the goats, chowing down on some boiled peanuts, and of course running around in the pumpkin patch.
Home Sweet Home Our 2nd Weekend
We haven’t been able to fully enjoy our new home with all the boxes lying around the place. Thankfully, we’re now 90-95% unpacked and can breathe easier now that cardboard isn’t king. With all the work we’ve been putting into our home I’ve been itching to take pictures but just haven’t been able to make the time. But tonight, after dinner, we had the most amazing sunset going on in our backyard. So, Kayla grabbed Adalyn and I grabbed the camera. We were only out there for a few minutes but I’m glad we took the time to go outside and enjoy the view.
T-minus 5 Days
The Crew is preparing for liftoff… Err, moving day at least. We’re super excited as we’ve received final confirmation that we are scheduled to close on our new house this coming Friday. We’ll spend all day Saturday and Sunday moving and hopefully have some time leftover on Monday to relax and enjoy our new diggs. I am so glad we were able to find a place we can call home before baby boy arrives. Hopefully he’ll take after mommy and decide NOT to arrive early (Ouch! Just kidding honey!). 🙂 This weekend we took advantage of the tax-free offerings on energy star appliances and bought a fridge, washer, and dryer. The other appliances were included in the new home. Hmm…speaking of the new house, I guess we won’t reside at Lakeview anymore…maybe I should think of another name for the blog… Any thoughts?

North GA Fair 2013
First of all, I want to send out a big THANK YOU to Dad and Karen for coming down and helping get things in order with our home. The sink looks great and I think any potential buyers will think the same. After tooling around the house on Saturday we decided to take Adalyn to the North GA State Fair Sunday afternoon. She’s still a little too young to really enjoy everything the Fair has to offer but she had a great time watching the animal shows and getting all sorts of germs at the petting zoo.
80 Weeks
After Adalyn’s quarterly Clinic, where she was cooped up in a hospital room for hours, we took her to the park to release some of that pent up energy. Just for the record, it’s a total coincidence that the photos look as though Adalyn is modeling an outfit Daddy picked out and bought for her last week (so proud of myself). 🙂
J and J Visit
Adalyn got a sweet surprise when Uncle Jim and Aunt Joanie stopped by for a visit.
Back To The Grind
We’ve had so much fun during our vacation we hate to see it come to an end. But we had a special visitor stop by to help soften the blow. Uncle William swung by to pay us a visit during his annual military leave. It’s always good to see Will and as you can tell from the pictures below, Adalyn adored him. We’re crossing our fingers he gets his promotion and is stationed closer to us so we can see him more often. A year is just too darn long to have to wait to see family.
