The Bright Eyed Brunette

We began the month of November with a wedding! Carlie's roommate from college, Destini got married and invited all of us!  Unfortunately, Makena had to head back to school and Trey was sick.  Carl and I took Wrenley and Caleb to the wedding because Carlie had to be with the other bridesmaids.  Wrenley was  also in the wedding as a flower girl.  Destini is a very sweet girl, and we are so glad that she and Carlie met and became friends.   My forever wedding date💗 Carlie and Wrenley Caleb and Wrenley We kind of love her :) This past weekend was my mom and Carlie's birthdays.  Carlie was my 35 week-er.  She was only 4lbs and 12 oz. and a tiny 18 inches long.  I was so scared that I wasn't going to be able to bring her home right away, but thankfully that wasn't the case.  She was a really fussy baby, and a super busy, smart, non-sleeping toddler.... but every bit of that was worth it.  Wrenley reminds me so much of her as a toddler.  I am very proud of her.  She is an ama

 The rest of October was pretty much a blur.  We were busy doing all the fun fall things! The girls and I went to our town's Homecoming Parade.  We dressed Wrenley up in her little cheerleading uniform and headed downtown.  She loved watching the band and all of the kids running to get candy. Even though it wasn't her first Homecoming parade (her mom took her last year), it was so fun watching her for the first time.  I have a feeling that all of the holiday season will be enjoyed just seeing things through Wrenley's eyes. This was actually the very day that Carl finished harvest!! I am so happy that is behind us.   Now Halloween.  The week of Halloween was the coldest that we have had this fall.  So cold, in fact, that Carl was off for the first 3 days of the week. Wrenley thoroughly enjoyed having her Pappy here to play with.  She gets bored with me sometimes. Pappy took her to see the chickens. She loved it! Carl built this little set-up for me. It was Charlotte's We
