life the past month

it's been a bit of a busy month for me.  between traveling for the new job i started a few months ago and all of the fall activities, i haven't been keeping the blog up-to-date... i'm sure all 12 of my followers are highly disappointed. {sarcasm}.  i'm really looking forward to the next month because i'll be traveling to california!!  here is a collage of pictures from the past month:

doggy playdate

i took riley to meet one of my best friend's dog, dallas. naturally, they are now best friends. they had so much fun running around and playing in the back yard for hours while stacey and i walked to downtown apex for lunch and shopping. thanks to stacey's husband, adam, for babysitting the boys while we were out!

what a wild pair these two make.
riley can't wait till his next playdate, dallas!

 i forgot how much fun downtown apex is. there are great restaurants, cute shops, and a great place to spend a beautiful afternoon! way to go, apex!
