it's october!

my friend did headshots before i left.  it was kind of fun!  

she also took our pics on the beach- amazing!

nora and a new tunic!

another top!

this face!

and this one!

red at night, a sailor's delight!  love our views!!

my kids.  

chatting on his phone. 

sitting up.  being so big!

i can't believe it's almost mid october.  holy cow!  and we are moving and shaking here.  b is on the move, and sitting for longer periods of time.  and loving food!  

c is just a joy.  i love his conversations with me.  yesterday, he found the lid to a cup, and said, "aren't you happy, mama?"  so precious!

the big kids are loving school.  it's such a joy to see!  i hate having them gone from me all day and am trying hard to keep after school not so crazy!  which is not so hard when they all want to be involved in a ton of stuff!  picking and choosing!

it's fall here.  allergies, colds, and changing colors.  i am trying to clear out our garage so i can park in there, in anticipation of the winter!
