It's beginning to look a lot like...Christmas??

Yep...it was snowing earlier today. I knew it was going to be cooler, but I wasn't expecting SNOW! It wasn't enough to stick on the ground or anything, but it was definitely cold, and it was definitely snowing. Mara's first time seeing snow! Mostly we just tried to shield her from the ridiculous wind! She was nice and toasty in her carseat, and snuggled with Daddy on the couch later on.

We went to get Mara's 6 month photos taken this afternoon. She was such a good girl! Tons of smiles, sat up well, and just seemed to have fun! I think we will really have some great photos. The photographer (she and her husband were videographers at my wedding and my sister's wedding) was really laid back, and took a ton of photos. She emailed me a few only about an hour after we finished with a couple of the photos -- they are so cute! My parents came with us, so we got a few photos of them with Mara too. I was glad we decided to 'splurge' this time with a professional photographer!

The snow got me thinking about Christmas, and shopping I need to do, and projects I should be working on! Mara will be almost 8 months at Christmas, which just seems unreal! But, I guess we should get through Halloween first...
