Maci Katherine Young

Maci Katherine Young arrived on October 29th weighing in at 6lbs 3ounces. Maci is the daughter of my dearest friend Ashley. Ashley's water broke at 2:15am and at 3:49pm Maci arrived. Ashley and Joe both did an amazing job, they're going to be amazing parents. I'm so excited to watch the friendship between Reagan and Maci blossom, I know that they will feel more like sisters than friends. I know many family memories will be made with the Young family and I look forward to every single one of them. Congratulations Ashley and Joe!!!!!!!!

Carving the Pumpkin!

We carved our first pumpkin with Reagan on Saturday and had a blast. Matt did such a great job; I think he would win First Place in a Pumpkin Carving Contest! Reagan played in her bouncer while watching us carve the pumpkin. She was not to sure what we were doing but had a great time watching us. Her smile will melt your heart and her laughter brightens your day. The weather was beautiful, football was on, and we enjoyed a perfect fall evening.

Pumpkin Patch

Reagan went to her first Pumpkin Patch today and she sure had a good time. She picked out the biggest pumpkin for us to carve. I guess she knows she'll be watching Mom and Dad struggle and that delights her! She loved being outside today in the beautiful weather we're having and even fell fast to sleep on the way home. Picking out pumpkins can be exhausting. I know we'll have many more days like this in the coming years but today was one of the greatest days. Just being out and about with my family sure made me appreciate all the many blessing I have.

Mom's Retirement

After 32 years of teaching my mom retired to watch Reagan. It has been such a blessing having Mom's help and support. I had a surprise Retirement party for her on Saturday at the Magnolia Tea Room in Auburndale. It was a small gathering-Laura, Meylin, and Susan from the "POD" came, as well as, Mama and Aunt Sharon. Uncle Raymond even came in for a surprise visit. Chyanne Laura's beautiful granddaughter was there and she was such a big help with Reagan. We had a great time honoring Mom and it was so awesome to see the shock on her face when she arrived.
