Picture catch-up

From this morning on our walk

Little E in her sweatsuit

These girls don't even need me

H's curls

When H's told to "smile":

What E and I are up against ALL. DAY. LONG.

Czar Ellie

My cousin Heather (London) and her hubby Mike stayed with us when Rachelle (Heather's older sister) and hubby Dave finalized Jackson's adoption. Mike is attending U of Georgia for his PhD in Economics (correct me if I'm wrong Heath). It was so fun to see them!

Aunt Heather and Jackson

Da guys (Dave, Nate doing dishes, poor thing, and Mike)

Heather, Rachelle, Jackson

And the reason for the season: J-MAN. He is the cutest little guy - no seriously - THE cutest. So full of smiles and just so content to be wherever with whomever. Jackson will be sealed to Rachelle and Dave Oct 17! SO happy for them! (Funny story, Rachelle and Dave adopted Jackson from South Carolina when Ellie was about 3 weeks old and my mom was back visiting us. She said, "Who would have thought I'd be in North Carolina visiting my 2nd granddaughter and meet up with my 2 nieces (Rachelle and Liisa) who I used to babysit from Morgan UT and their families?" It is a small small world. Have a great day!!!!!

Reasons

A month ago, the weather teased us with temps in the 70s. I couldn't believe how the nice cool mornings totally boosted my mood! Well, don't worry, it was back in the 80s and muggy until 3 days ago! I am hoping FALL is here to stay and here's why:

1. Cool enough for the AC to be off which allows me to keep the sliding door open and watch/listen Hannah play in the sandbox while being productive inside
(it cracks me up how much I cherish uninterrupted cleaning time! Who knew I could be so thorough and efficient....Mom?

2. No AC in the van (less gas). Feel the breeze girls!

3. I really need to learn how to make soup. Like BASIC step by step instructions. Couldn't make a bowl of chicken noodle soup if I tried right now (c'mon I have kids now, what are they supposed to eat when they get sick?)so when you get a second, email me your tips and best/easiest recipes...that would be awesome.

4. Hoodies. 'Nuf said.

5. Indian corn (candy corn's most scrumptious cousin)

6. This is a gross one but I am so sick of the stench of our(outside)garbage making me gag every time I even get close. 2 in diapers + sun beating down on a black g. can = well, you can imagine.

7. Hannah's #2.

8. Plus all the fall colors, general conference, warm socks, long sleeved shirt/sweaters, actually sleeping with a blanket on top of me, apple crisp...I could go on and on...

Are you with me? Oh, and the nice thing about fall in NC is it last for about 4 months. Saweet.
