I'm making myself out to be a big fat liar.

I'm sorry I've been gone again. Apparently my ADD doesn't allow me to keep that whole posting more promise as nicely as I'd like.
I've been up to a LOT. I've been knitting. And sewing. And quilting. And baking. And making candy. Some of that is awful! Because I think I gained like fifteen pounds on my sweet kick. My buns are NOT appreciately, nor are my jeans. I made a beautiful quilt, sewed some blankies & momo (pacifier) clips for baby H, baked cinnamon buns, cookies, bread, shortbread with caramel and chocolate on top (think twix-ish) made caramels, apple dump cake, brownies....basically I went nuts baking and cooking. Not sure what happened. No, I am not pregnant haha.

Yesterday we had our annual family reunion. I brought a huge batch of candied cinnamon nuts, sausage and peppers, and salted caramels. I love going every year and seeing what everyone likes/didn't like so much, and seeing everyone I haven't seen in months and sometimes since the last reunion. It was the first get together since my grandfather passed and it was strange not having him there. I guess it makes me realize that I won't always have that generation and I want to spend as much time with them as possible.

Husband finally found a job. He'd been looking since he got back from overseas and finally found something that "fits" in his field. It isn't his dream but we'll get him there.

I've been on a fall kick and can't wait for everything that comes with it! Apple & pumpkin picking, carving pumpkins fall baking, football games, costumes, cool weather, changing leaves, jumping in them, and hanging out with my family. :)
What are some of your family traditions? Leave me a comment! Thanks!
