Sorry that I haven’t written much lately, but I’m sure you all understand, I’m a pretty busy momma. So here’s an update on the family lately.
I am sorry to update that my step-grandmother passed away last month at 96. She was so sweet and will be sorely missed by all of her family! I will definitely think of her every time that I attempt the Sunday crossword, which she completed, usually in its entirety and in a couple of hours flat.
Halloween was unseasonably warm this year. We bought Mary a cute chicken costume with the assumption that it would keep her nice and toasty, but instead she just sweat like a little Italian baby. Oh well! We took her around to some of our family and then got home just in time to give out candy to, like, five kids. Since then we have been eating the leftover candy ourselves. This hasn’t helped much in my desire to trim my midsection so I guess that will have to wait until after the holidays.

Miss Mary is getting so big, and I am totally in denial that she’s going to be a year old. I can’t even believe how fast time flies; it seems like only yesterday I was holding her for the first time, aaaand she was screaming like a banshee. Good times!
Lately, we have been working on walking. She took a few steps on her own last weekend. She stands on her own too, but then as soon as she wants to move plops down and crawls. I think it’s just a confidence issue, and any day now she’s just going to decide that she wants to walk everywhere instead. We will be very tired after that day, running around after her!
I am currently trying to figure out details for her party although it’s still a couple weeks away. I know the time will fly though so I want to plan as much as I can now. I much prefer going to parties than planning them. I’m sure I’ll be adding pictures somewhere for the big event!
