The End of Summer....

If you're from the country, this is always a sure sign that summer has run it's course. I've always loved Fall, so this is a welcomed change. After a summer that felt like we were living on the surface of the sun, I was all too pleased for the relatively cool weather we experienced today. However, Ohioians are always treated to another week of absurdly hot days in late September or early October -commonly referred to as an Indian Summer. I've always wondered why Indians were praised (or blamed) for this last taste of summer in Ohio. If you know the answer to this, let me know.

Enough ramblings. Enjoy those last few days of green, unlittered grass, soak up some warm rays, and barbeque your last burgers because Fall is just around the corner.

How Sweet...

I think this might easily be one of my favorite photos from this summer. I just imagine that he will show her how to ride a tricycle then a bike with training wheels until one day when she gets the hang of it. Then one day he will sit in the passenger seat and teach her to drive a car and his life will never be the same. It has been incredible to see how big she has grown in such a short time. She has become a little lady with big opinions. I wish somehow we could slow her down. I sure do love taking pictures of her, she is so very special to both me and her uncle. We love you so very, very much Lily.

13 Days and Counting!!!

I can't wait to be on vacation here....


I bought all the books I am going to read on my vacation. They are the first things packed in my suitcase. Aside from a bathing suit, SPF 50 (no suntan here!), beach towel and iPod, there isn't much more I need. Most people would fly to S.C., but we enjoyed the drive so much last time we decided to drive again. Last time we came it was for our honeymoon, but this time it's a family vacation. We will be traveling with Karen, Ed and my grandparents. We will be taking the 23rd to ourselves to celebrate our first year as a married couple, but after that it's all family fun!
