322 Days
322 Days. That's how much time I have left until Malia goes to kindergarten. Add another 365 days to that and both Malia and Pressley will be in school all day long and I will be at home with only one girl! Things will be so different then. I can't even imagine what that will be like! So, in the meantime, I have made a promise to myself to make the most of these next 322 days with all three girls at home.
While our situation here is definitely not my ideal situation, renting a townhouse rather than owning a home, yet owning a home in Pittsburgh that hasn't sold yet, I have promised myself that I'm going to not make that the focus of this year, but enjoy every second that I have with them before school starts next fall. In attempt to follow through with that promise, we have been craft and fun crazy around here! We've made all kinds of fun Halloween and fall decorations, played in the park that is walking distance from our townhouse, had movie nights at Wegman's, dance parties in the kitchen, baked a homemade cake and enjoyed every minute of swimming at the YMCA! It's been the most fun and memorable moments I've had with everyone! It's been a blast! I hope the next 322 days go in slow motion, but in case they don't (they never do), I've got my camera to capture all these fun moments and freeze them forever!

We are Penn State!
We took a trip to campus tonight to walk around and get some photos with the lion...unfortunately the girl who snapped the one of all of us took some blurry shots, and I didn't realize til I uploaded them :-(...oh well...it's not like we can't do it again! Here are some shots from our night. We had fun!

Slobber Face and Fashionista
I had so much fun with Isabella this afternoon! She didn't take a very long nap at all, but she was a happy girl when she woke up! While Justin was taking a little nap on the couch downstairs, I laid with her on the floor for about a half an hour and just played with her. We bounced on my leg like a pony and she kept leaning over and grabbing my face and slobbering all over it. I was literally drenched in baby spit-it was running down my face! We were both laughing so hard and having so much fun though! She's so sweet! I just love her so much!
It was a pretty good day over all. The fall weather has been incredible...cool and breezy. I just love it. The girls and I walked around this morning and picked leaves to make a leaf collage. It didn't turn out the way I had hoped. We laid them on wax paper and I doubled it over and tried to iron the pieces together, but they didn't stay together too well. It was still fun though. Once Justin got home (earlier than expected! Yay!), we hung a few more things on the walls and put a few more things away, then headed out to walk the mall and eat at a little pizza place we had a gift card for. Pressley just cracked me up with the outfit she decided to go out in...black heart pants, under a pink skirt with a purple t-shirt on, a baby bathrobe over that and a football bead necklace. Over all that she was wearing her Hello kitty track jacket and a head band in her hair like a hippie would wear. She has a style all her own! She's so funny!
So that was my day anyway...so fun, as usual! I love my girls...it's never a dull moment around here!

Tooth!
Ladies and Gentlemen...we have a tooth!! Isabella's smiley face won't be toothless for much longer. :-( She has a tiny little dot on her bottom gum.

Snapshots
I just wanted to remember this little snapshot of Isabella as I came to pick her up from the church nursery on Saturday...
She did great when I dropped her off, and she was in class with Pressley, so I'm sure it was nice for her to have a familiar face with her. But the best part was when I went to pick her up after the service. She was standing up holding onto a chair and Pressley ran over screaming my name and gave me a huge hug. Isabella looked at me and had this sweet smile that just grew all over her face and she reached her hand out and made "grabby fists" at me. Then, (the saddest part), she just collapsed onto the floor in tears. I got down on my knees calling her name and she ran/crawled to me. So very sweet...absolutely the best greeting I've ever received from my girls.
