ending out august

is it really almost september?? this summer has flown by, especially being pregnant and now having my six weeks off..i can't believe that in a couple weeks it'll be labor day, then halloween, then thanksgiving and Christmas. It all seems to fly by so fast this time of year, but it is by far my favorite time. I love the smells of fall, pumpkin picking, sweaters, the cool air..

last year we didn't get much of an autumn up here in Kentucky. the summer seemed to last all the way until November, and then we got hit with the ice cold winter like a smack in the face. I just hope that this year I can enjoy the crispy leaves and the pumpkin spice mochas in the cool outdoors. I want to take my kiddos outside to the pumpkin patch and see what Judah can possibly get into, because i'm sure he'll find something mischievous to do. last year we took him, and we walked around in the corn maze. i should say run....we RAN to chase our booger around the corn maze. This year will prove no different, i'm sure. And this year, he talks..a lot. so it should be lots of fun :)

as far as the kiddos and the hubby are concerned---hubby's great: staying really busy at church and at work..and when we have time together at home, we end up busy too. yes, we DO have days where we actually sit down to relax. last weekend was great and we got to see some of our friends. judah got to play in the pool with marley and we watched a movie together while the kids played.  this weekend we are doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! and it is great!! mikaela is growing a little bit more every day, and it seems so fast...
