This past month has been a bit of a whirlwind. I actually have big news regarding myself (and not about the kids - first time and probably last time for quite a while)... I have accepted a position at Schwan's as an Associate Shopper Marketing Manager. The opportunity came to my attention in the very beginning of October, and I will start my new position there one week from today (on Monday, 11/5), so needelss to say, the whole process was very accelerated. I am already having incredibly mixed emotions about the change. The opportunity is exciting, will be challenging, interesting, stretch me and my abilities, and I cannot wait to get started, however, I am going to miss Mills. I have had a wonderful experience here at the company and I grew up knowing all about the products, etc. In total, I have spent nearly 6 years of my life working here, it is going to be difficult to leave. I will dearly miss all the people here.
Wish me luck in my new role!

Our Fabulous Fall
We have officially entered my favorite time of year. I love fall - I love the weather, I love the activities, but most of all, I love all the holidays that are on their way! Our family has been a little crazy lately - not because of any activities that are solely for Jae and I, but instead with the little ones.
Kaeden has been wonderful. We have really been able to spend so much quality time with him now that we have consistantly had him all weekend, every weekend for quite some time. Also, he has been performing well in school. He rocks at math - it just comes naturally to him! Also, on the weekends, he has been playing flag football. At first, he was not very excited about it - at the games, he was slow and uninterested. Then, a couple of weekends ago, Jae, Laura, and I went outside to spend some one on one time teaching Kaeden football. Now that he understands it, he is really enjoying it (and becoming very good at it!).
Mr. Bennett is growing like a weed. Tomorrow, he will be nine months old. It is so hard to believe how big AND how old he is getting. It is officially time to start planning his first birthday - OH MY GOSH! He is constantly chatting, giggling, and playing. Still no crawling though... he is a stubborn little man and hates to be on his tummy. He loves to sit and play or stand. No tummy time. We have been practicing, and he seems to kind of be getting the hang of it... although, I have a feeling he is just going to go from laying to walking (and skip the whole crawling thing). Also, he is loving his Cheerios now that he officially has two teeth! Before the teeth came in, I was thinking how much I would miss the gummy smile - now I am so in love with his goofy toothy grin...
