Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday!

Hope everyone's week is going well...here are a few things so far this week that are making me inordinately happy:

1. My mother-in-law is here for the month...so psyched she's here. She's making these wicked cool Halloween costumes for the kids...Zo is going to be a peacock, and here is the start of her costume:

2. Great hike yesterday...it's been so hard for me to get out...always feel guilty for leaving the babies...but my husband hugely encourages it and the days are so beautiful right now and this little corner of Colorado, I didn't see a soul...you feel like you are someplace so wild and rugged, which I love...

3. I didn't think I really liked chrysanthemums, but my mother-in-law brought us these, one for each side of our front door, and they are gorgeous...the color is making me so happy...

4. The last of the vegetables for the year are coming out of my mom's garden...I can't tell you how much we've appreciated all she's shared with us...

5. Slowly, slowly getting all of our financial affairs in order, and part of that is life insurance for me and my husband. My blood work for the application process came back with a weird abnormality, which scared me...worst case scenario that abnormality could mean I have liver or kidney failure...and I knew that was far-fetched because I feel fine, but still, I worry. Anyway, my doctor ran the test again and it came back normal so there is nothing wrong with me, phew. :)

6. Oh, and one bonus thing...after years and years of living with a cheap couch I don't really like all that much, a couple days ago we ordered my absolute dream couch. It won't be here until December, but I am sooooooooo excited! 

What good things are happening in your world this week?

XOXO
