Mind Wanderings

I think fall is here... we have been waiting for today all week. 2 days ago it was 32 degrees, yesterday was high 20's and REALLY windy. Today, fall is here, it is 15 degrees and for the next 2 weeks looks like it might not hit above 20. So, in honour of summer ending, what did we do yesterday on the windiest day of the year... go to the beach. Yup, it was short lived though as we stood there on the shore, the only ones out there, being pelted by tiny grains of sand on our bare bodies. The waves on the lake made it look like the ocean. We packed up the kiddie pool, put toys away and are settling in for another fall.

I am getting excited about fall, school starting, leaves changing, food eating. Fall here is nice, but real short. Even the years that we don't get snow it still gets frozen and cold around halloween. The girls too are excited about school starting again. I am also excited to have J Man all to myself for the whole school year. This is his time to grow and explore all on his own, no girl's allowed!

We are heading for Fort Steele today, spend some time outside, it is still a bit windy but not as bad as yesterday.

Babies are also on my mind, I have know of 5 people all to have had their babies within a few weeks of eachother. Their newborn faces are all over blogs and facebook, they are so cute and I am nostalgic for the days of our kids at that age. I love newborns and the joy they bring, I love to watch them grow and see who God has made them to be. All this teary eye musings have not been helped by my job of going through all our photos and videos since 1999 which are being transfered to my new computer. Yes, I got my new computer, and I love it. I haven't had much time yet to play on it but I know it will be fun.

Well, off to paint some of Cici's nails, them perhaps get their brains back onto some math and printing, then Fort Steele.
