settling into fall

well, we are finally getting used to the chillier weather! I must say the crisp Fall days are welcome and perfect for enjoying a nice walk outside with a warm sweater and a cup of coffee in hand. We are enjoying the kids so much. Timmy is talking like crazy and picking up on everything. He still wants to go outside and play every day despite the rain, and he is always able to talk someone into going out to play with him. Jackson is growing by the day. His chubby little cheeks indicate that breastfeeding is going well, and I am thrilled that he has been sleeping 6 hours or so at night in his own crib (still in our room), so I am emerging from what I call the "newborn fog" and beginning to join the world again. Hello there, everyone! It's good to be back :)

Last Saturday morning was a highlight for me, I got to go jogging with Mal around the lake, just like old times. Last time I did that I was something like 4 months pregnant with Jack and my gut was telling me it was time to transition to walking only.

Anyway, back to Saturday. The jog was great and I love one on one time with my sister.

We took the boys out to the water in the afternoon just for the fun of it. Timmy had a blast watching the scuba divers get all of their gear on and get into the water, and watching the trains go by.

The boys just chillin on a nice Fall day.

Ouch. Timmy banged up his face pretty good on Sunday morning when we were getting ready to go to church. Well, we didn't make it to church that morning, but at least we tried. There's always next week. He's just fine, but I was again reminded how upsetting it is when one of your children gets hurt, and it reminds me that a lot of things I worry about really aren't at all important in comparison to the well being of people I love.
