We've been taking every opportunity to enjoy these last days of summer like weather. I love autumn and it's anticipation of cozy indoor days curled up with a warm cup of coffee. It seems that summer came so late this year that I am not quite ready for the cold but I hope I can embrace it when it comes. It is inevitable.

It seems that it has taken us some time to fall into a comfortable routine. There have been so many variables to consider but we seem to have found a schedule that is working (for now). My days are long and hard but I am realizing that hard does not have to mean bad.

Life is hard, but it is plenty good.

Sean is away on a four day management retreat. I think he is having a fabulous time and he even mentioned a helicopter ride! We are having a great time too. Walks and bike rides, treats and sleepovers. Perfect combinations for joy filled memory making.

I am thankful for the many blessings around me.

I am tired..... yes, but I am happy....... absolutely!
