Happy Halloween!!

We drove back to Nashville on Halloween day and after a stop at Whole Foods & Calypso Cafe, we carved a pumpkin and got dressed up for Halloween. It was a beautiful night and Madison Claire had fun watching for the trick-or-treaters. We took her to a few houses on our culdesac and she loved it! Her favorite thing right now is a dum-dum sucker and I'm not kidding when I say she probably had 7 that night! She wasn't too thrilled about having to wear the Raggedy Anne wig tonight. She was still precious! Hope everyone had a good halloween!

Trick-or-treating at Kroger

While I was at Heidi's wedding, mom and dad took Madison Claire trick-or-treating at Kroger. My siblings and I have such fond memories of trick-or-treating at Kroger when we were little. They used to have a cake walk, and all of these fun games that we'd get to play. Madison Claire had a great time and looked precious! She was Raggedy Anne for Halloween this year - a costume that my Mama Howard made 21 years ago for Meredith & Patrick (there is a matching Raggedy Andy costume). It was so special to me for Madison Claire to be able to wear it - Mama Howard you are super talented!!!

Congratulations Heidi & Matt

Heidi & Matt got married on Friday night, October 29th. They had a very intimate ceremony on Friday night at a winery in Dahlonega, GA and then had a huge party in downtown Atlanta on Saturday night. Both events were perfect!!! The winery was gorgeous and the location downtown (Ventanas) was quite possibly the most fabulous wedding reception location I've ever seen! Ryan wasn't able to make it to the wedding on Friday night because that Friday was the last football game of the season for CPA. So I went by myself and definitely missed him! Heidi looked stunning (as you can see below) and the whole evening was just perfect minus the one mishap when our "Wish Lanterns" got caught in the trees and caught them on fire!

Ryan made it in on Saturday and we took Madison Claire and my parents to the party with us on Saturday night. We had a great time! CONGRATULATIONS HEIDI & MATT! WE LOVE YOU!!!

The new Mr. & Mrs. Cornelius!

My besties from high school - so thankful we are still close friends!

Madison Claire was fascinated by Heidi!

Wish this picture had turned out!

Madison Claire loves her Papa Steve

I love my handsome hubby!!!

Week in Atlanta

I had a great week working from Atlanta. I went to the Falcons game with Patrick, shopping with mom, Sarah, and the babies, spent time with Jacob, and of course had some great meals with mom & dad....all of this when I wasn't working!

Madison Claire LOVES Nutmeg!

Fall Festival

We went to Atlanta a few weekends ago and my neighborhood, Willow Springs, had a fall festival on Saturday afternoon. Madison Claire had so much fun! She loved the bouncy things and was so sad when she had to get out because it filled up with bigger kids. There was also a petting zoo and my parents couldn't believe how brave she was - they said I was very timid at her age and she was just walking right up to the animals. She also got to have her first pony ride and smiled from ear to ear!
