I love September. This is when all of the senses start to pick up. It's the start of decorating, seeing (one of the senses); and baking, smelling, and tasting, for the holidays. I've got some of my fall decorations up, it's raining, and I smell some freshly baking banana bread. :) Oh, the joys of life! I also love listening to the thunder that comes with the rain and listening to the wind.
We just enjoyed a weekend at my parents house. It was wonderfully relaxing and a great break. I also grabbed the pictures from my parents computer (including some Meredith birthday pics) and took some great pictures. I'll have fun updating the blog.
Emily is at another milestone. Her speech has improved a lot and she's started coloring people. Her last picture she had a dinosaur that she had colored in. I really love this milestone. The girls continue to come up with new things to imagine and pretend and I LOVE it.
On the flip side of reaching new milestones there is the frustrating. A while back Meredith found out how to get past our childproof front door and undo the top lock. We turned the childproof "thing" upside down so we had to push the lever up to get out of the house and she has just figured out how to get out the front door today with it upside down. She's been out a couple of times today. Of course, Nathan and I have been right on her tail, but it's still scary.
I also love how Emily is smelling the baking bread. "I like that smell, mom." She says. As she's loudly smelling so I can hear it. What joys these girls will be during the holidays, the good and the bad. :)
Fall is also a very romantic season for me. It's when Nathan and I met and courted. Oh, I love the fall.

Live In the Moment
And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)
- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.
