Today Gordon and I woke up to chilly weather and I immediately thought of Fall, one of my favorite seasons! Growing up in Las Vegas I didn't get to experience each season to its fullest, but living in the Midwest allows for a traditional 4 seasons and I love Fall the best. It is my favorite for a few reasons--the changing of the leaves, the chilly weather which means I get to snuggle up to my wonderful husband, and it also is the celebration of our anniversary (September 27th). Time has gone by so fast, I can't believe we are in the middle of September already! A lot of fun things have happened these past few weeks, so I will try my best to recap them all.
In late August, my Mom flew into town to visit us and help watch Kirsten since our daycare provider had vacation time. We had a blast enjoying her company and all the home cooked meals she made. Of course, Drake and Kirsten loved every minute of it, too! Meme (my Mom) played hide-and-go-seek with Drake on numerous occasions. She also played an airplane game with him where she hoisted him into the air using her legs and held his hands. She was a great sport about all of it! Kirsten was loving all of the attention from Meme, from cuddling her on the couch to playing tea party. Everyone had a great time!
Over Labor Day we were fortunate enough to have Gordon's parents and his sister Megan, along with her husband Shawn and their girls, visit us for the weekend. We had a wonderful time and so did all the kids! For starters, Megan and Shawn drove into town with their camper, so Drake got to "go camping" and sleep with them, which he thought was amazing. Then everyone went to Adventureland (a local amusement park) for the day and fun was had by all. We also checked out their new water park while we were there - needless to say everyone slept well that night!
I tried to do another photo shoot with Kirsten and Drake, but neither one of them was up for smiling at the camera that day... however, I did get a pretty cute one of Kirsten while she was trying to climb around on the couch!
We are going to be getting family photos taken in early October, so I will try and post those if I can! With cooler weather upon us and less time outdoors, I should have more time to post pictures and blog stories. Until then :)
