Happy Fall

We have been enjoying this beautiful fall weather. It's like no fall I remember. We usually go straight from summer to winter. But not this year. The autumn mornings are brisk, but the afternoons are warm a pleasant before slipping away behind a golden sunset. We have been spending most of our time outside before we're forced inside from the weather.

We've been enjoying fresh cut flowers from our garden (still!?)


There has been no shortage of popsicle eating (gratefully accepted by a teething Ruby.) And even Bran Flakes on the front porch. I'm totally excited my children have discovered them as a snack. I totally remember eating bowlfuls as a kid.
We have gone on nature walks along the river and thrown rocks numerous times. I really am surprised that my kinds haven't diverted the natural flow with all the rocks they throw. It's a favorite pastime.

I used to think I liked plain Bran Flakes. But I've come to realize that they really are pretty gross on their own (fiber be danged!). Chris pulled out Honey Bunches of Oats with Strawberries to mix in with the bran flakes, and I think we've got ourselves a real winner.

Oh yeah, and I might say it a lot, but there is something about that Sissy girl that I love. She has got some full-time spunk to her!
