Well, it's really cold. Weather outside keeps changing from rain to snow... it's windy.. beautoiul. Love these kind of days. Hoping it lasts for only a short time though, because I am not done with my walks or outdoor play just yet. Definetely have not been up in the mountains enough...
Doing my best to enjoy the week off from school. Not much of a break, as I am just preparing for the next semester...... Organizing, brushing up on skills, reading my design books, ... Looking forward to going only part time for awhile. Time to be better mommy, a better wife, a better me to myself..... and essentially a better student. Also hoping to spend more time on my photography and book.......... we'll see.
Looong summer... I dont remember much of it besides school. I think it was the worst semester to date, and I am so glad it's over. Somehow I still made it out with a 4.0.... I know for sure that i don't have much desire for commercial design righ tnow.. maybe that will change.
Summer. What did we do ?
Sam grew. Alot. 
Elliott got cuter. Wasn't sure that was possible...
Papa came to visit. SO happy to have had my daddy here. Never enough time though, but Elliott and Sam bonded with Papa like he's been here the whole time. Great to see Debbie again too. I'm pretty sure they just need to move out here .....
Ian's oldest brother Dan got married just a couple weeks ago to a great girl, Jennifer. We are excited to have her as a part of our family!! The wedding was in Genola (never knew it even existed) at her parents place. We had a nice time getting to know her family and hanging out with our own.
Last weekend we traveled up to Park City to hang out with part of the Cameron crew. It was really nice to spend time with Tom, Kathie and the rest of the family, taking pictures, feeding the pig that Bella caught, and watching the horses. Tom was a good sport about getting the pictures done even though he didn't feel much up to it. We ended the evening with a 'picnic' outside as the sun set.
So, whats new with Elliott? Hmmm, still loving playing with his trains, NOT loving having to share them with his little brother. He has a rediculous amount of energy. I hope he likes being out in the cold winter air; he's gonna be out there alot.... whether he likes it or not..lol! His imagination never ceases to amaze me. Loves reading, LOVES cartoons.. and jumping on his bed.... he is definetely a 4 year old boy.. out to drive his parents crazy.
Sam! What a big boy he is becoming .. so fast! Somehow he is already 9 months old. I feel he will be walking within he next few weeks... he has incredible determination and strength. He is a very happy baby with such a funny personality. Big fan of peas and apple sauce. He loves his big brother, and the mamas.. they make him laugh a lot. It is incredible how different my two wonderful boys are.
Oktoberfest was really fun this year. Took Elliott swimming and on the lifts, which were terribly cold and I don't recommend going on them when there is any sort of wind, or in September. Elliott had a blast hanging out with his cousins, and it was nice to get up into the moutains and be with family.
I have SOOOOOOOOOOOO many pictures.. I don't even know where to begin. I probably have a lot more to say, but I have shut down the brain for the week in hopes of feeling minimal to no stress on my break. Wanted to update though, since it's been awhile. Plan on that being the trend.. so next update should be December??
Lots of love.
