Been a while since my last post... Over the past few weeks, I have had a lot floating around in this little noggin of mine. Truth be told, this blogging thing requires very little of me. But it does require time and clarity. Unfortunately those two in short supply around here. But things have been good lately. And so with this post, I'll share a few of the things that are happy these days...

First off, tailgating rocks. With our amazing collection of friends and family, Sean and I have a blast every time we tailgate. Here you see Sean's gorgeous Aunt Lisa. What a joyful spirit...

I'm loving teaching again. It's just two nights a week, and I really do enjoy the students and the lecture. There are drawbacks, to be certain, but right now, the one class is a perfect fit...

Piper is big into rolling and rotating. She flips the one leg over and the rest of the body follows. So fun!

There is a crispness in the air as autumn approaches. Before long, the leaves will be turning. I'm coming up on 10 years of living here, and autumn has never been embraced the way it should be... For me, autumn has always meant, "ugh, winter is coming." But this year, I want to experience autumn the way my husband does. He loves it. I want to love it too! Winter will NOT ruin autumn for me this time around!

Miles is back at Stay & Play - he just walks right in and gets straight to work (playing with tractor trailers). Oh how I love them. I may be exhausted, but I so love being a mom.

How cute are Piper's newest cloth dipes?!? Huge thank you to Christy - they're perfection. And that journal - it's from THE Jennifer Paganelli. Yes - the one and only. I just love Jennifer.

Hope everyone has enjoyed a full weekend of R&R. If you're willing to share, I'd love to know what has you grateful this week... Share a comment!

xoxo,
