Time gets away

September has come and gone.  How did that happen?  I'm not quite sure.

The weather is (slowly, but surely) changing into something much more suitable for me.  The mums are out and so are a few Halloween decorations around town.  We celebrated the 4th birthday of our princess and did so in true princess fashion with quite the slew of friends and family.  Ballet rehearsal has started for the man of the house - they are preparing for Peter Pan part 2 (not exactly sure what that is, but it will be wonderful I have no doubt).  Baby William has made some elbow, foot and knee room for himself in my ever expanding mid section.  He likes to make his presence known.  Jackson has been in school long enough this year to have already received a report card.  The report is a good one.  I'm very proud.  Dance for the little girl is still going well.  She so enjoys it and I love hearing all about it when she finishes her class.  They learned some new Halloween dances this week and she has talked about it everyday since.  I am singing in our ward choir and loving it.  I missed singing and our little choir is pretty good for just having started back up.  I'm proud of us!

We, like everyone else, have a very full life, but we get to be together so that makes it worth it.  Monday night for Family Home Evening we all sat down with paper and pen and for about 10 minutes listed the things we are grateful for.  We really have a lot to be grateful for and it was refreshing to be reminded.  

I am so grateful for this time of year.  The changing of the season puts me in a good mood.  Our family has so much to look forward to this fall and winter season.  I think I'm even more excited for the next coming months than usual and I'm usually pretty excited.  I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your October!!

 Caroline got this awesome water color set from Uncle Cody for her birthday.  She was so excited to try it out.  I love the look of a fresh set of watercolors.  I think she does too.
