Today is nice and cool and overcast, which makes me so happy. I love the fall. Especially after the long, brutally hot summer. Everyone has said this summer wasn't so bad, and I guess it wasn't, but I don't like the heat at all. It makes me want to move to Portland. It's so beautiful up there. But could I handle the rain all the time? I'd like to think so, but I guess I won't know unless we move. The amazingly clean, fresh air sounds wonderful though.
Anyways, I'm glad we're almost to fall and sweaters and my favorite time of year. And all the fun holidays are coming! First, Andrew's birthday is coming up, and we didn't do much last year since I was 8 and a half months pregnant, so I have to make up for it this year. We have to decide what Charlotte will be for Halloween, then her big first birthday party! We're already making plans!
Right now, we're just getting back to the grind, since Andrew's semester started. Our summer was nice. We had a few small trips. One to Napa and Sacramento to see Charlotte's great-grandparents and my nephew, his wife, and their beautiful little girl. And a few to Kings Canyon Nat'l Park, the beach, etc. Charlotte is getting to be more and more fun. She's noticing more and excited about everything, which makes us excited about everything. She's been crawling everywhere, which is exhausting, but a good workout. It seems like she's close to walking because she pulls up on everything and walks around while pushing this baby walker thing, but no first steps all by herself yet.
Anyways, here's some photos. They're mostly taken with my phone, so the quality might not be so good. Happy September!
