Monkey Biz

Our weekend was a little bit tainted with Jameson having a 24 hr fever on Friday. Praise the Lord it was nothing more- I was a little freaked out. Our Halloween was kept indoors which was fine because it drizzled all day. On Tuesday our weekly playgroup had a Halloween party/brunch, and on Thursday we went trick-or-treating at Russell's office (an organized event, not a whim!). J was the smallest one, and the cutest I might add :) And since last year we didn't quite know what his costume was, this year I made sure we had a good one. Jameson was a monkey a.k.a. Curious George. Russell's deal closed on Friday so we had him all weekend- hooray!



I have kept myself busy this month furnishing our downstairs- child-proof style. I never thought I would say you can't have a white sofa with kids....but you can't I'm sorry to say. And you definitely can't have fabulous custom upholstered chairs from Ballard Design at your kitchen table....that's-for-sure. Well I guess you could if you're made of wipes and paper towels and you have the time to follow your child's every move 24/7, as well as other children who come over. The Ballards have moved to the dining room and I have new chairs. Once I put the finishing touches, I'll post pictures (let the anticipation rise).

Our Russ


If you've been around our house the past month, we've been minus one a lot lately- sad! Russell has been working and working and working. He's almost been at the firm for three years, and this is normal(?). But during a year of thousands of layoffs, we're very thankful for his job and for the abundance of work. For those who have husbands who travel every week, bless your hearts! Russell's been getting home between 2-3AM so he might as well be out of town. We miss him! After once postponing a fall getaway, J and I finally just kidnapped him and took him to Asheville, NC. It was nice to be "unplugged" for a couple of days and to have him all to ourselves. We had a great trip and can't wait until things slow down a little....Thanksgiving? Here are some pictures~ enjoy!

Brrrrr.....


I want to play Christmas music, and yet I just put pumpkins out the other week! Isn’t this weather crazy? My boys are keeping me warm though. On Wednesday we'll find out (hopefully) what baby Hilton will be :) Oh, and wedding bells will be ringing next summer! Russell's brother got engaged this weekend. Congratulations, Reid & Chelsea!!
