It's officially Fall, and so it's time to bake! I love all the baking in the fall and for x-mas. I started by baking and taking a picture of this coconut pie. It tasted as good as it looks! I am putting it on here to prove my self worth in this family of bakers/artist!!

Not much has been going on here lately. Just doing the whole school thing and I did finally get done doing some much needed Fall cleaning. On a lighter note, I asked Logan to smile for me and I would take his picture and this is what I got! The good thing about him giving me this goofy smile is something you don't think about. He gets it!! Meaning, when I tell him to smile and I'll take his picture, he does!! This probably didn't mean as much to me when Olivia first did this or should I even say recognized the request, but with Logan, it once again shows you how different preemies are and how much everything little notion counts!! His every move, word, function is under a microscope all the time to make sure he's coming along the way he should be, with Olivia you just expected it and it was done. So now if he would just "get" pick up your toys and put them away, we would have accomplished the world...........

Labor Day..Goodbye Summer

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. Let's face it folks, summer is over. I get excited for this time of the year, because after a long summer everyone is tired and it's time to get back to a routine. I run so much better on routine. I get my "me" time back at night, my mornings start so much earlier and I can get more done, and the best part......my kids are going to bed before 9pm!! YIPEE!

I have to admit for the longest time I was a person who only loved summer. Never really appreciated the other seasons. More and more I enjoy spring and fall almost as much. I love the color change in fall and even the smell of fall. The temps. are just about right for doing anything and your not freezing or sweating your butt off. So, I welcome fall.......do you?


The one thing I will miss as these last months of being outside go by........the neighbors wearing my children out for bed!!!!!!
