Almost Fall???

Hard to believe it's almost Fall, although the cooler weather will be appreciated by all of us. Fall means Rylan's 2nd Birthday, trips to Avila Valley Barn, hopefully going WA for my cousins wedding, cooler days, yummy treats, and more sub work for Kenny-yay! We welcome the Fall with open arms...
To say the summer has been hard would be an understatement. We've been incredibly blessed by our wonderful friends in so many ways, we honestly would not have made it without them. The Blakes, Croxalls, Uppenas, Hamons,Soderins, and many more that have prayed for us and come alongside us with encouragement, invitations for dinner, provision of needs, laughter, fellowship, work, and much more have turned a very discouraging season into a season of valuable lessons learned and hope for the coming months. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts with complete humility and sincere gratitude. The kindness and care shown to us will not soon be forgotten, not only will we forever be grateful but we will absolutely pay it forward. As one of our dear friends wisely reminded us God provides not a moment to soon nor a moment too late.
Elle will be three months old tomorrow and my heart breaks a little because it's going so fast. She is no longer a newborn but a sweet and fun little baby. I cherish every moment with my precious girl. At her two month appointment she was 12 lbs 8 oz and 23 inches. She is laughing and rolling to her side. She is sleeping so well, rarely waking up early morning to nurse. I can't say enough what a great baby she is, just another gift for us during stressful times these last few months. She has brought so much joy to our family.
Tomorrow we leave to go to San Fransisco for Rylan's fourth treatment. My parents are meeting us there and thanks to priceline we found a great place on fishermans wharf for reasonable price. We are excited for Rylan to see all the boats, interesting people, carousel, and everything else fishermans wharf offers. Last time we went he was not as aware of all the fun things happening and I was 30 something weeks pregnant so our time was brief. We are hoping tomorrow will be fun for him and all of us will enjoy the day. After his early morning treatment we will head home and my parents will follow us back down here for a few days. We have a couple fun things planned while they are here, a special way to end the summer. Rylan is such a busy little guy, running, jabbering, taking care of his doggies like we take care of Elle, cracking us up everyday, and loving his baby sister.
We are so excited Grandma Sugar is in California and that we get to introduce her to her namesake. We are headed down to the desert in a couple weeks for a quick trip to have the little ones spend some time with Sugar. The last time she was out Rylan was only four weeks old, we've been so anxious since to see her again. Thank you Grandma Sugar for making the long trip from Texas to California for all of us. We love you!
That's pretty much the latest and greatest from the Pulliam house. Someday we'll have a fabulous camera and flood the blog with photos of our adorable babes! Bring on the beautiful fall colors, fun days, and pumpkin bread!!!

Some More Pictures





Elle and Rylan

These photos are not very good, our camera is pretty much broken. It's better than nothing I guess. They are pretty cute together!
