Binkley Bedtime Stories: September 2011

I learned a good saying at Nest last week. The days are long, but the years are short. How true that feels sometimes! Even though "long days" are becoming fewer and fewer, I am amazed at how the time is flying by with Shiloh. I love this time though! I am so lucky to spend every day with her.
Highlights of this blog include celebrating our 1st anniversary and Binkley family vacation to the Frio in Leaky, TX. (I never heard of Leaky before either).
Sam and I got to travel to the outskirts of Waco to celebrate our anniversary at the White Rock Creek B&B. And it is now HIGHLY RECOMMENDED in our book. It could have been the fact that it was just the two of us, but the B&B was nice and they have mastered making an exceptional quiche. During this time I decided that I like anniversaries even more than birthdays (which is saying a lot because I LOVE birthdays). But it is like sharing OUR birthday together or something. This must be how twins feel every year:)
Vacation was also fun. We are so thankful to Grandma and Grandpa Binkley for organizing our trip because it provides great opportunities for us to build memories together-thank you Steve and Cathy! It was very fun and the river was beautiful but mighty cold. Mighty, mighty cold. I couldn't brave it for too long, but I sure did want to. Shiloh learned to swim. She is a natural. Mommy and Daddy just shivered on the side while she snorkeled with the perch.
Pictures below to go with my above narrations. Enjoy!

Shiloh ADORES Abigail Mayfield. I mean, how could she not? We got to visit with Abigail in Austin before a wedding we went to. This girl is so fun and she introduced us to two new yummies: oatmeal creme pies(not miss debbie's) and popcorn tofu. Thank you Wheatsville and Abigail!

Shiloh got to attend yet another wedding! 3 weddings in only 2 months of life. Our little social butterfly. She loved getting to meet my dear friends from high school. Reception was at the Oasis and if you couldn't tell from our shiny faces, it was rather steamy in there.

Just because she is so darn cute.

We celebrated our FIRST ANNIVERSARY!

Anniversary Bouquet-Sam brought these to me after work on Friday with a card that said "363 days later..." and it was a lovely letter indeed. Tears.

Sam got me some Polish pottery for our anniversary-a small obsession since younghood. Just now getting to indulge since I have a home to put it in.

Anniversary dinner at Cracker Barrel-Sam was really craving biscuits. So biscuits we had:)

Our roadtrips tend to take a little longer nowadays with feeding and changing Shiloh. This is her being changed in the trunk. Too funny to not include. I especially like the one sock look-she is trying to start a trend among other babies.
