Fall has arrived!

Well..with the 61 degree weather..fall is surely here! The layering of clothing has begun. No one is more happy about that than I..i LOVE to layer! However, with fall comes school and with school comes work. No one is more unhappy about that than I! Alex is settling into his role at his school with his school work and loving it (minus the school work part, im sure)..Jake is settling back into a routine with being back at Pre School and we are loving that as well. What hasn't been great are the colds, sniffles and coughs that have come about. Jake and Alex are battling a cough..with Alex feeling a tad worse I think. It's amazing the germs that reside in classrooms. Yuck. Let's hope this is the last of it..although I know that's probably impossible.

Next month Alex and I head out to CA at the end of the month for some R & R. We are only going for a long weekend really..but it will be nice to get away. Hopefully we get all of our school work done before we leave, so that we can really enjoy the time. We haven't been in California since May of 2003 when we left Lake Tahoe for good. Seems like yesterday, in a way! I miss the west coast and it's laid back attitude..but I dont miss the paychecks we got as minimum wage ski bums. ;) October will be a usy month with apple pickng outings, weddings, birthdays and get aways..oh..did i mention school work too. This will hopefully be the last of me dreading a fall semester (until the one when Jake starts college!)..but Alex is thinking about his Masters. Good luck, buddy. That's all I have to say! ;) Of course, i will 100% support him..but I know it's not easy..especially with a family.

Happy Fall all!!!
