The grass may still be green, but all around us are the sights and smells of fall. Someone is burning leaves, the apple tree is heavy with red balls of juiciness ready to be baked in a pie, and the temperature cries out to revel in its coolness. Even the grasshoppers are lazy and don't mind being poked by the chubby little fingers of my 2 year old.
Fall is my favorite. Sammie bounces into pre-school every Tuesday and Thursday in her new school shoes, leaving me time with just my boys. I realize how much of my time is spent focusing on Sam. She's a talker. Cameron is not.
The difference is most apparent in the drive to pre-school, verses the drive home. Occasionally, on the way home, I hear the word "truck" or "dog" from the backseat with just me and the boys. When Sam is in the car there is a constant chatter about shopping, babies and kitty cats. Having her in school has helped me rediscover my boys.
But as for right now, they are still mine. We get to rock on the porch, roll in the grass and relish the fun of fall together. There's nothing like the great out doors with a 2 year old exploring all it has to offer.

Those are such cute pictures of you and "the boys"! Logans eyes are beautifully blue!! Cameron looks so big in that picture, they grow up way too fast. I'm glad you are enjoying every minute of it:)
Your kids are so cute! I love them so much! Sooo true about girls vs boys when it comes to talking and chattering away :)
