There is a chill in the air . . .

And it feels like fall around here!

We have had a busy month already. The boys and I recently visited a butterfly garden and, in addition to having thousands of amazing butterflies flying around, they had these fabulous sculptures . . .




Fall also means marathon season! Cameron and Danny have been my training partners for the past few months (i.e. I get to push an extra 60 lbs in the jogging stroller most days) and Daddy brought them out to cheer me on for my final marathon. After 7 attempts, I finally got the time that I wanted and now I am happy to retire my marathon shoes. Anyone up for a half marathon?




Cameron wore my medal proudly for most of the day. What can I say, he earned it by going many miles with me and he looked cute wearing it!
And of course fall means pumpkin picking!! Cameron told us that he was going to pick the biggest pumpkin in the pumpkin patch . . .



And I think he did - a 28 pounder!




Danny is working on getting some additional teeth so that he looks less like a jack-o-lantern which is why his shirt is covered with drool!




Now, the circus doesn't have anything at all to do with fall but it is fun and the boys had a blast!

Wow...I can't even find the words for all my feelings right now! Anne, I am so proud of you for your Marathons that you have done & for you to make a time you have wished for! I would love to sometime in my life do a 1/2 marathon w/ you, I would be so honored! I'm finally getting back to running after the birth of 2 kids & it feels great!

We are headed to the Pumpkin Patch in the morning to find our pumpkin, maybe I better wait to share these pics with Livi until later ;)

The butterfly garden looks like a lot of fun. I can imagine all the questions now! Really cool!

Hey, to close, our kiddos have something in common...teething! Ciera drools a lot and has even started to have unusual sleep patterns lately ugh! Hope Daniel feels better soon and those teeth decide to show up!

Thanks for sharing! Love the updates!!
