Summer lovin', had me a blast!

When I walked outside this afternoon I was struck by the sudden realization that Summer is over and Fall is upon us! The wind was crisp and the smell of a fireplace burning left me wishing that I had my handsome hunk of a husband to lounge around with in our old sweatshirts. Ahh... I have already been researching Halloween costumes; Bobby wants Brody to be a pirate and I am thrilled to find the perfect dainty girl costume for Leilah's first Halloween. I am contemplating getting out my fall decorations! Premature??? Perhaps... but there is just something about the coziness of fall that is undeniable. However, with the onset of fall comes yet another reminder that our move is just around the corner.

Since I have not been the A+ author of the blogging world recently... I will try to fill you in. The past month has been spent soaking up the sun and memories. We are considering becoming homeless and setting up a tent at the park... seeing as how we have become almost as permanent the slide. Whether it is for play dates, picnics, geo-caching excursion (thanks mom), or just a release from the day... watching Brody play at the park is a constant reminder that our "baby" is in fact a little boy. Sniff sniff. Bobby is gone for 2 1/2 weeks to complete his Warrant Officer Course in Alabama. Last night was the first time that he could call me, and they now are allowed a "7 minute" phone call everyday. Interestingly enough, waiting up for that 7 minute call is how I found time to write this blog! What a win-win situation, right?! The pride I feel for him is indescribable as I watch him literally conquer each step to fulfill his dream of becoming a pilot. Leilah is still my joy; I simply cannot get enough of her. She has the most contagious smile that starts as a sparkle in her eye and lights up her whole face.
