Baby Tarchalski is almost done Brewing

 As of today, I officially have 3.5 more weeks left of carrying around my little man. It's gone by fast. When I look back on when I found out I was pregnant and now here I am getting ready to bring a new life into this world, it's so crazy. We've been busy getting his room ready, getting sprinkled and making sure we are spending lots of time with our first born, sweet Lilly. We are beyond excited to add to our family, but I often think about how things are going to be so different with 2. Lilly is 5 1/2 and becoming more and more independent with things. Our new little man is going to change our lives, but in a good way. Back to no sleep and being needed every minute of the day!! This is a blessing and we feel so lucky to be parents yet again! My family has been beyond supportative and my friends too! The love for this little man is much appreciated.

Here is a  belly pictures. I don't take many, so this is 1 of maybe 5! Ha

 Here's a glimpse into the nursery.

 My mom,sister and Stacie Lynne organized a sprinkle for our little man. It was fun for big sister, Lilly to help open presents and be apart of.

Life in the Tarchalski House

 Most weekends are filled with family activities. When we can, we always try to fit in time with friends, but it's difficult! Lilly is in dance again this year, so our Tuesday nights are busy with that. As mentioned in my last post, she joined girl scouts so that's every other Monday after school. Then, other evenings are filled with who knows what, but they always seemed to be filled. If we are home, we try to squeeze in some baking, painting, playing and just relaxing!

 Watching Genevieve and Sagan grow and learn is so much fun! I love these 2.

 Our little ballerina.

 Baking is always a favorite at our house.

 Painting, coloring, drawing or any craft is Lilly's activity to do. I am sure she'll be an artist when she grows up. Her drawings are really good.

 Playing with Jordan and Maddie is another favorite of Lillys.

 And of course, hanging out with Sagan is a sure way to make anyone smile.

Fall

 Ryan and I had our annual Twilight Benefit Cruise in September. I am a board member of this fantastic foundation, so this night means a lot to me! It was spent with good company! We raised money to support 2 wonderful boys. This was us headed out for a fun night!

 To kick off our Fall festivites, we planned a family trip to Greenfield Village. The kids loved walking around and getting treats! Lilly loved everything except the spooky bridge! Good thing Lita was close by, she ran right into her arms and was saved by my mom. Being in the arms of your grandma while making your way through a dark haunted bridge is always better than being in moms arms.

 We also went to the cider mill with her girl scout troop. This is a nice group of girls that Lilly is buidling friendships with!

 She picked a pumpkin...

 And filled up bags with apples from the apple trees.

 We had a fun time together on this field trip. It was after school so I could be apart of the fun!I'm excited that she joined girl scouts, they're always doing neat trips and learning how to be considerate of others and their community.

 Super Girl was her costume this year! I'd like this little lady to rescue me if I were in danger! How cute is she? Ryan took her trick or treating while I stayed home and passed out candy. The wet weather is not my thing! Good thing for dads!

 

I thinks she got enough candy! Good thing she forgets about it the next day. We still have a huge bowl full.
