First birthday and more big events...

So much has happened in the last month and a half. This is really the first time I've had to sit down and let you all know how we've been and what we've been up to. Please forgive my absence.
We finally sold our house in the city and moved to the "country" 3 weeks ago. We're all settled now and love our new digs. It's so quiet here and the house is very "Kyleigh friendly". She's even got her own little play area in the basement and is free to roam at her leisure. Plus, the house sits on 1.5 acres and Kyleigh loves to run around outside.
Taking a step back, Kyleigh celebrated her first birthday quietly with a few close family members at home. Mom Mom, Pop Pop, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Tom, Jen, Sam, Joseph and Aunt Pat all helped us celebrate. Kyleigh got lots of cool gifts and spent the evening playing with her cousin Joseph. We all enjoyed the butterfly cake that mom made. The previous week we made a trip to Nana's so that Kyleigh and Nana could celebrate their birthday's together. We had a nice cookout with a few of Nana and Auntie Paula's friends and then had cake. We can't believe our little girl is one already...where did the year go? At least we all survived!
Other recent happenings include a trip to the pumpkin patch. Mom and Mom Mom met up with Jen and Kyleigh's cousin, Joseph, as well as a few of Kyleigh's other friends - Grey and Sophie. We all went for a hayride, which the kids seemed to love and then we treked through the field in search of the perfect little pumpkin. We discovered at the park that Kyleigh loves the sliding board!
Halloween was exciting this year as we finally got to give candy to "respectable" trick-or-treaters. Kyleigh was the most adorable skunk ever! She really fit her name...stinky!
I've attached a few photos for your viewing pleasure. Till next time...
