Back to life..back to reality!

First and foremost...welcome to the world, Hollis Joy Hebert! We are thrilled to have another new niece and cousin. Our hospital pictures aren't terrific, but these glamour shots sure are!

For the months of August and September, I (Sarah) was consumed by a holiday market selling my paper goods & design services! It was a lot of work, and I'm glad I did it. Couldn't have done it without the help and encouragement of so many family and friends!!

For 10 days in October we were in sunny (and warm!) California visiting Carl's dad David & Peggy. We crammed a lot of amazing things into our time there – time with cousins Ellie & Gavin, La Costa Resort, Disneyland (Gracie loved the teacups and Dumbo rides, was a little unsure of meeting Mickey for real!), a pumpkin patch, and beach time (Grace did NOT like the sand, or seaweed, but was mesmerized by the ocean!).
