Hello October

I am happy this month is finally upon us. We have been going and going and going. It is time for a rest. Which is what I got last week in the form of Fall Break. Loved every moment. The start of the break brought Lily's baby shower. What a wonderful time with family. We celebrated the fact that this little angel would soon be with us. As Jack ate cake from everyones plate, and I literally mean everyones plate, I thought about how soon Lily would be held in everyone's arms. And just as happy as eating bites of cake from anyone who would give him some, Lily would soon feel that same happiness in the warmth of everyones loving arms. I was so overwhelmed with Joy that day.
The middle of the break brought Brian and I to a dealership in Huntsville where we made our first real big purchase. We bought a new vehicle for the kids. Yes. For the kids. (I do get the pleasure of driving it, but it's for the kids.) They needed a safe vehicle to ride in and somehow, we are going to make the payments. somehow. Brian is really talented at what he does. The owner of the dealership is now a client of Brians. She wanted to help us out. She gave us the. best. deal. in. the. world. We are very blessed. Very Blessed.
I became antsy at the end of the break and didn't want to be alone. Brian works all of the time and I just wanted him home with Jack and I. Finally the weekend. Football. IHOP. and Family.
In the midst of it all, Jackson managed to get a real big boy haircut. Seriously. He is officially a little boy who puts his cell phone and pasie in his "pockies." I love discovering what he has tucked away in his pocket at the end of the day. No matter how short or long that boys hair is - he will always be my baby. Always.

Happy Fall.
