The most wonderful time of the year!

Well, besides Thanksgiving and Christmas, is FALL!! My absolute favorite time of year! The colors of the trees, pumpkins, Halloween, Starbucks Carmel Apple Spice, 60 degree weather, sweaters and boots...just to name a few! Unfortunately it seems like the shortest season we have! Next thing you know, its freezing! I am so excited for this fall because we will be spending alot of time working on the baby's room and getting ready for her arrival. I say Her because we still haven't decided on a name. We do have 2 that we love, but we just can't decide....Hannah Elizabeth or Caroline Elizabeth. I think both are beautiful and classic. When I think about naming my child I have to think, is this name a good name when she is 2 years old, 28 years old, 49 years old, or 76 years old? Can I see myself shouting her name as she is running through toys r us, or shouting "Hannah Elizabeth" up the stairs when she comes in past her curfew? Ok, so I probably think about it WAY too much...but it's forever! People say, you'll know when you see her. Ok, well if you know me, I have NO patience and could not wait until January to name my little girl. I want her name on the wall, I want things monogrammed, so we will decide on one, I just don't know when!
This weekend we will be diligently painting the nursery. I know the furniture will take a while to come in but I just love seeing this room come together piece by piece. The green stripes look great so far! My mom ordered the fabric and I know she is excited to start on the bumpers too! I ordered the chair this past week, so that will be here in about a month! I will probably find myself sitting in that chair many times before she comes.
I hope everyone has a DRY weekend (although I don't know about you, but our grass needed the rain!) and a relaxing one! Enjoy the fall weather next week!

My vote is for Caroline:) I can say with confidence it was a cute name at 2 and still works out at 26, but I can't speak for it in my seventies yet! That said, Hannah is also adorable:) Decisions...
