Chile Chili Chilly

So....  my parents get home in 9 days.  They've been serving a mission in Concepcion, Chile for 18 months.  The last time they saw Simon, he was Roma's age.  They've never met my baby girl.

The kids and I will be there for their homecoming.  And this is very unfortunate timing for Aaron because it means we will spend our first Halloween apart.  He's put up with my shenanigans for a decade, it's about time he gets a break.  I am super sad we will be apart, he is not.

We decided to do Simon's birthday party before Halloween... because it will be crazy when we get back and because he will NOT stop talking about it.  It's been three weeks of nonstop birthday party talk.  It will be simple, of course.  I love parties, but I do not go all out.  We invite friends over, play games, have cupcakes and call it a party.  That will happen on Friday and then we will head to Utah to trick or treat with cousins...  not excited for the cold, the weather here is perfection.  but there are only a few yellow and red leaves to remind us it's Fall.

Roma is walking to and from people, but nothing else.  She is super stubborn and sassy.  We love her anyway.

Motherhood is calling.  beds to make and breakfast to serve.  I really, really like my job.
