October Good Times

October was a busy month for Chad, Molly and me and exciting as we found out that we have been blessed with a new baby on the way! Baby Collins #2 is due May 10. We are so excited to bring another baby into our home and give Molly a little brother or sister.

Early October led us to Chicago to visit our good friend Shelly. We were only there for a quick weekend, but were able to fit in a Cubs game, some great Italian food and a Notre Dame football game complete with a fun tailgate party. My parents surprised us at the last minute and decided to fly out to South Bend to meet us for the game. We had a great time and the team won this time! It was a long day, but so much fun!

Molly also got to visit a pumpkin patch with Grandma Mary from Vacaville and Frank. She went in the petting zoo and had the cutest reaction every time a little animal walked by her....she would take a deep breath in and have a cute little look of amazement....it was priceless!

We also went to Boise for Halloween weekend and had so much fun seeing family and friends. Molly was the cutest little chick for Halloween and stayed happily in her costume all evening! She is such a good little sport!

Molly is changing so much...good thing we have another one on the way because she is less of a baby every day and is becoming more of a little girl. She started walking in October and is FAST! She has her little circuit that she likes to run while tearing the house apart at the same time. One of her favorite places is my jewelry drawer. She takes everything out and puts all of my necklaces on. I think she is going to be a fancy girl!
