Fall, Vacationing and the Like

Fall was full of fun, people turning 30 (a-HEM) and vacations 😃



Photo ops in the pumpkin patch!

























Trip to Victoria, BC via BC Ferry Vacations!



























































Followed shortly thereafter by a trip to Leavenworth, WA. An awesome little Germantown 😃, note my braids 😃









































And what's fall without Halloween!
















































And here's our Thanksgiving with no power!

Visit from Nai Nai and Baba

Shortly after we returned, Will had to go train in Yakima... So my grandparents came it to visit! They may have the title "great grandparents," but I tell you what, they are ACTIVE! I think we did activities every day! We went to the state fair, museums, wineries, ferry boat rides, trips to Seattle, state parks... You name it, we probably did it.

Back with Dad in the PNW

And the fun did not stop when we got back and chilled with daddy! Camping, surfing, boating, dances, concerts on the park, sports practice and more! Here are a few highlights 😃

Boating

Getting' ready for baseball

we did a lot of boating...

concerts on the park in Steilacoom!

Lily

Well I can't sleep. So annoying because both the kiddos are sleeping and I'm laying here stressing about how I should be sleeping since they are, but can't, which is even more stressful... AAAHHH! So I figured if get up and get caught up on the ol' blog! Speaking of which, I suppose I shouldn't call this "Quint pro quo" any more!!! Maybe the "Merry Macks" or something... I'll change it soon-ish, heavy on the ish 😜

Gosh it's fun rummaging through these first pictures of Lily. Makes me all nostalgic.

I felt so blessed and happy giving birth to Lily in Oxford, surrounded by so much love and support even though Will couldn't be there the whole time. Labor happened so fast and early! But he made it the morning after 😃










I had so much help, and Q was so busy with Annalee, Gdaddy, the boys etc that I was able to really bond with Lily and get a good nursing routine down (not as hard this time around, but very difficult for me!).

She felt like my second first child. I was even able to do a mini phot shoot!






















I grabbed moments with Quint here and there in between hom riding horses, swimming in the lake, 4 wheeling, boating, adventuring and the like. At least he still wanted his mama at bedtime 😃. And early in the morning, so I could capture these moments:

Amazingly enough we even made it to church! And I got a loose, VERY low impact yoga/workout schedule worked out 😃

My family even got to visit since we were so close (relatively speaking).
