*randomly random*

Pretty much all of my recent posts have been some type of randomly random. Get used to it. Until we all get more than a few hours of sleep, life is pretty much randomly random.

Sometime during the night on Thursday evening, it SNOWED! What??!! We were just enjoying the changing leaves and the first smells of pumpkin, we are not ready for this white stuff yet! (And I started writing this LAST weekend, so this post is a wee bit outdated).



we keep her sleepers unbuttoned as much as possible so her feet are more accessible to her...she loves to snack on her toesies!

Last weekend, we went to the annual four mile park fall festival. Love love love this time of year, and this festival is always a way to jump start my favorite season! I have been going since we first moved here, and we had Mamaw and Papaw come along for this year's festvities. We went on the second day, and the pumpkins were scarce, but there was still so much awesome fall energy there.

her first meeting with a pumpkin!

completely random. my friend that is studying in the Phd program in osych at DU had to do an assortment of psych tests on little ones. I volunteered poorKaden for the job. After about 2 1/2 hours, he was DONE, and during the expressive language test, these were his amazing responses....


over it. this was the repeat after me section. "yep".
And on a more somber note, there was another tragedy in Colorado this week. This week, sweet Jessica Ridgeway,was abducted just minutes from where my mother in law lives on her daily walk to school. This case completely consumed me and my heart is broken for her, and for her family. It is so hard to imagine anyone doing this to ANYONE, let alone a sweet 10 year old innocent child.  I can't even begin to comprehend how scary it must have been for that sweet little girl. And they need to catch this guy. like right now.

This case is reminiscent of little Kali Poulton's case back in the 90's in Roch-cha-cha. I remember the way my Mom talked about the case, and how she was consumed by it as well. I can remember the posters so vividly, and I remember the sick feeling I felt when I saw that precious little girl's face. It took a year for us to find out what happened to Kali, I only hope that Jessica's mom can find some peace in this lifetime.
