Happy September!!

Allen and I are both so excited about this month! We get to celebrate our 3-year wedding anniversary and possibly welcome our little girl in the same month... Though this year calls for a few changes in the way we celebrate.

Normally for our anniversary, we choose a restaurant that we have never been to before! On our first anniversary, it was The Oceanaire, which was amazing! We unknowingly started a tradition there... We ordered a bottle of Trimbach Riesling-- which has a little significance for the Weinzapfels because it is made in Alsace, France. The Weinzapfels are originally from the Alsace-Lorraine region, which was located on the France/Germany border. Allen spotted this on the menu, so we decided to try it.

On our second anniversary, we decided to eat at The Melting Pot and we ordered a Trimbach Gewurztraminer, so that's when we decided to make it a tradition to order a different Trimbach each year in honor of our last name! 
Unfortunately, we won't be able to do that this year because I will be 9-months pregnant... So, we decided to hold off on the whole anniversary dinner this year until after Brynn is born. We are going to spend the evening at home, relaxing and enjoying the last days of life together without a baby... :)

The beginning of our collection...

Hopefully we'll be able to make it out sometime in the first month after she is born... Maybe we can trial our first babysitter?? I know a lot of great pediatric nurses and RTs that could make great babysitters if they are interested... ;) That would make Mommy feel a little better about leaving her for the first time.

Another anniversary tradition we have attempted to start is watching the DVD of our wedding... If there is one thing I can suggest to a bride-to-be, it is to find some way to document your wedding on video!! It is totally worth it! It really brings the whole day back...

We also have a LOT of family birthdays this month, but unfortunately we won't be able to make it home to help them celebrate this year... My brother, Andrew will be celebrating his 31st on the 16th!! My Grandma's birthday is on the 19th, and Miles-Man's 1st birthday is on the 23rd... I am so sad we have to miss all of these milestones-- but I can't risk driving 3 1/2 hours. :( We are going to try to Skype for Miles' birthday so we can "be there" without actually being there. I can't wait to see him with his birthday cake!!

Anyway, I'm so excited about my shower this weekend!! We are still working on all the teeny-tiny details around the house to get ready for Brynn... So it will be fun to take a break and enjoy some time with all of my work friends!! :) 

I hope you all enjoy these final days of summer! I feel like you can smell fall coming around the corner...


God Bless,
The Weinzapfels
